Jens-Uwe Franck () and Martin Peitz

CRC TR 224 Discussion Paper Series from University of Bonn and University of Mannheim, Germany

Abstract: This paper explains the novelties for sector inquiries as a result of the 11th amendment to the German Competition Act. The Bundeskartellamt is now authorized to impose measures ranging from behavioural requirements to the unbundling of a company in order to remedy identified competition problems. The new regulatory instrument supplements antitrust law in an appropriate manner.
