Among analysts, the proposed merger has received generally good reviews as a business combination.

On 29 May 2006, plans for merger received a new life when the state division of the Liberal party announced its in-principal support for the idea.

But both generally apply the same test: If competition is harmed, the merger receives critical scrutiny.

The merger received antitrust approval from the Federal Trade Commission on Wednesday.

The merger received widespread support in both Lubbock and San Angelo.

CSX also agreed to provide stockholders with cash or stock early next year, rather than waiting until after the merger receives regulatory approval.

Horizontal mergers, that is, combinations between direct competitors, would receive more scrutiny and a new administration would probably also be more protective of discounters.

That merger has already received a regulatory nod.

The merger received unconditional approval from the US Department of Justice on July 27, 2010.

The merger still must receive regulatory approval from the U.S. government and the European Union.
