Special Report 72
The report assesses the planned amendment to the Act against Restraints of Competition (GWB). The special report has been commissioned in response to the Federal Government’s plans to further align the provisions on liability for fines in the event of antitrust infringements with European law. In the Monopolies Commission’s view, such harmonisation is legally required. This follows directly from the case law of the European courts on the EU antitrust rules. However, the Monopolies Commission also considers such harmonisation to be welcome in substantive terms.
