Part 2: Competition Chapter 2: Mergers New section 70D
New section 70D confirms that other powers in Part 3 of the Enterprise Act 2002 (for example, the public interest merger regime in Chapter 3) can also be exercised in relation to a foreign state newspaper merger situation (subsection (1)), and that the use of those other powers does not prevent the exercise of the powers in new Chapter 3A (subsection (2)).
	Subsection (3) requires the CMA to bring to the attention of the Secretary of State any case which it has identified through the exercise of its duties under section 22 ("Duty to make references in relation to completed mergers") or 33 ("Duty to make references in relation to anticipated mergers"), and which it believes may involve a foreign state newspaper merger situation. This reflects a similar requirement in section 57 of the Enterprise Act 2002 for the CMA (and Ofcom) to bring to the attention of the Secretary of State any case which it believes raises any public interest consideration, as specified in section 58 of the Enterprise Act 2002.
