欧盟委员会对高通公司收购恩智浦进行调查

欧盟委员会已经开始深入调查，评估高通根据“欧盟合并条例”收购恩智浦的建议。 委员会关切的是，这笔交易可能导致更高的价格，更少的选择和减少半导体行业的创新。

Commissioner Margrethe Vestager, in charge of competition policy, said: “We use our electronic devices every day - mobile phones or tablets.负责竞争政策的专员玛格丽特·韦斯特格（Margrethe Vestager）说：“我们每天使用我们的电子设备-手机或平板电脑。 As semiconductors are used in practically every electronic device, we are dependent on them in those devices.由于半导体几乎用于每个电子设备，因此在这些设备中我们都依赖于半导体。 With this investigation, we want to ensure that consumers will continue to benefit from secure and innovative products at competitive prices."通过这次调查，我们希望确保消费者将继续以有竞争力的价格从安全和创新的产品中受益。”

NXP and Qualcomm are two of the leading players in the semiconductor industry.恩智浦和高通是半导体行业的两个领先企业。 The Commission is concerned that the transaction would reduce competition between companies active in the markets for semiconductors used in the automotive sector and, in particular, in the emerging Vehicle-to-Everything ("V2X") technology, which will play an important role in the future development of "connected cars".委员会担心该交易将减少活跃于汽车行业所用半导体市场的公司之间的竞争，尤其是新兴的“车辆到一切”（“ VXNUMXX”）技术的竞争，这将在“互联汽车”的未来发展。 It also wants to ensure that the deal would not result in rival suppliers being excluded from this market.它还希望确保交易不会导致竞争对手的供应商被排除在这个市场之外。 There are also concerns with Qualcomm appropriating NXP's intellectual property.高通公司也盗用了恩智浦的知识产权，这也引起了人们的关注。

该交易已通知X委员会28 April 2017。 委员会现在已经有90工作日，直到17十月2017，作出决定。 开展深入调查并不能预示调查结果。

背景

高通公司是一家领先的半导体公司，为移动设备，特别是蜂窝基带芯片开发和提供集成电路。 Qualcomm还授权其知识产权组合的权利，包括在无线生产蜂窝通信标准中实施所必需的专利权。

恩智浦半导体制造和销售不同类别的半导体，包括汽车行业的半导体和移动设备领域的半导体，特别是NFC解决方案。
