60 minutes with the Honorable James F. Rill, assistant attorney general, Antitrust Division, U.S. Department of Justice.

James F. Rill, assistant attorney general in the Antitrust Division of the US Department of Justice, focuses his discussion on the 1992 Horizontal Merger Guidelines, which were issued jointly by the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission, which means that the two federal agencies responsible for merger enforcement are on record as applying the same standards. The Guidelines comprise five steps designed to determine whether a merger will be pro- or anti-competitive. The new treatment of entry is one of the most significant aspects.
