Abstract: Abstract The task of competition policy is to eliminate or to prevent restraints of competition and not to cause them. For this reason, all legal restrictions of entrepreneurial freedom of action in competition must be examined regularly on the “test bench” of deregulation. The most recent cartel-law interventions in the vertical coordination of the value chains and the resulting rigid limitation of freedom of action in consumer-goods distribution are currently the subject of controversy and viewed increasingly critically in all related disciplines.
