The Monopolies Commission is a small, independent body of experts with a significant impact: five appointed commissioners and a close-knit team at the secretariat, located in the heart of Bonn’s Federal District, advise the Federal Government and the legislature on matters of competition policy, antitrust law and regulation. Those who work with us will find five things that make this work special:
- Independent policy advice: free from general political or financial influences – for the public and in the interests of society
- Real impact: expert reports and statements inform political decisions on competition and regulation
- A bridge between academia and politics: an interdisciplinary team of economists and lawyers translates research into concrete recommendations
- A small team with short lines of communication: close collaboration and direct dialogue with management
- 5 commission members: recognised experts from the fields of economics and law who provide guidance on content
