Part 2: Competition Chapter 2: Mergers New Schedule 6A
New Schedule 6A applies a number of provisions, with modifications, from Chapter 1 of Part 3 of the Enterprise Act 2002 (sections 23 to 29) for the purposes of new Chapter 3A.
	Paragraph 1(2) of Schedule 6A amends section 23 to reduce the turnover threshold for the creation of a relevant merger situation to £2 million.
	Paragraph 1(3) amends section 24 to provide that the deadline for the Secretary of State to issue a foreign state intervention notice and for the CMA to gives its report (see new section 70B above) is, in relation to a completed merger, four months from the date of completion or notice of the material facts of the merger are given to the CMA or Secretary or State, or are made public. The material facts include facts about whether or the extent to which a foreign power is able to control or influence a newspaper enterprise.
	Paragraph 1(5) modifies section 26 to provide that where a foreign power which is already able to control or influence a newspaper enterprise increases their level of control or influence (e.g. by acquiring more shares or voting rights), this is to be treated as the foreign power bringing the newspaper under its control thus allowing the Secretary of State to give a foreign state intervention notice.
