The German Competition Act brings about the single most significant change to German competition law since the original Act's inception in 1957. It includes the abolition of the traditional distinction between horizontal and vertical restraints of trade, strengthened private anti-trust enforcement, and the alignment of the German Act with the new European anti-trust enforcement system.Practitioners cannot afford to miss these developments. This new bilingual edition of the German Act makes it possible to understand the nuances of the Act by providing a precise and accurate translation, valuable commentary to explain the broader context of the law in practice, and relevant documents such as cooperation agreements.
This book also includes:
· Bilingual versions of the cooperation agreements concluded by the German Cartel Office with other countries
· Sample material relevant to EC anti-trust law, as it applies to the German Act
· A introductory essay detailing the structure of German anti-trust law and highlighting the most important changes and practical consequences.
