PRACTICE NOTES
Algeria merger control: thresholds, control test, notification and standstill duties, decisional practice, foreign-to-foreign reach and 2024 reform proposals

1. Have there been any recent developments regarding the Algerian merger control regime and are any updates/developments expected in the coming year? Are there any other ‘hot’ merger control issues in Algeria?
Corporate matters within this regime fall under the present Algerian Commerce Code (Ordinance No. 75-59 of 25 September 1975), whereas its competition dimension is currently regulated by the Competition Law (Ordinance No. 03-03 of 19 July 2003) (the 2003 Ordinance).
Two subsequent decrees in 2008 and 2010—Ordinance No. 08-12 of 25 June 2008 (the 2008 Ordinance) and Ordinance No. 10-05 of 15 August 2010—which, together, modified and expanded the 2003 Ordinance, significantly widening its reach to imports of goods for resale, agricultural produce, and public procurement.
Nonetheless, the Conseil de la Concurrence (Competition Council) views numerous current provisions as increasingly ill-fitted to Algeria’s present economic landscape and has, on multiple occasions, suggested revisions to the prevailing national competition law framework.
Members of the Competition Council recently debated these proposals in a session on 23 June 2024.
As things stand, no definitive timetable has been set for their adoption...
