Martino Sforza was quoted in the May 7 issue of Global Competition Review in relation to Italy's Antitrust Authority's consideration of commitments offered by the country's motorway operators and recovery services, following an investigation into possible abuse of dominance in the industry. Martino agreed that motorway operators' commitments are likely to be accepted, but adds that it's "difficult to say" regarding the recovery services commitment.

Veronica Pinotti was quoted in the May 6 issue of Global Competition Review in relation to Italy's Competition Authority's increase in the country's merger control thresholds. Veronica says, "The increase might lead to a slight decrease in mandatory filings, since less transactions are likely to meet the thresholds," and continues, “However, statistical data published by the authority shows that the number of transactions filed has remained constant over the past five years, notwithstanding the annual adjustment of turnover thresholds."
