Abstract: This article looks into the useof legal cartels in certain branches of industriesduring structural crises, exceptionally acknowledged by the European Commission. From the government’s point of view the advantage of such a crisis-cartel is that non state-money is invested, in order to save a branch of industry. The advantage for industry is a lower level of government interference, compared to state-aid and other schemes. The article explores the fate of the crisis-cartel on artificial fibers (1982–1985) in particular. Finally, the question is raised as to what extent states remember cartels as instruments for solving crises and saving finances whilst experiencing phases of financial stress such as the current one.
