Main Report 2022
The Monopolies Commission has presented its 24th main report, “Competition 2022”, to Federal Minister for Economic Affairs Dr Robert Habeck. “The competition framework in Germany is a key pillar for managing the upcoming transformation processes. At the same time, it ensures that market power arising from digitalisation and increasing concentration in individual sectors is limited. The Monopolies Commission also takes a generally positive view of the Ministry for Economic Affairs’ latest proposals to tighten antitrust law. It examined the possibility of unbundling independent of abuse as early as 2010 and presented recommendations on the conditions for such an instrument, whilst also highlighting its limitations,” said Prof. Dr Jürgen Kühling, Chair of the Monopolies Commission.
