Antitrust Law

The basis of a free market economy is functioning competition. This requires entrepreneurial freedom, but also compliance with certain basic conditions and rules. Antitrust law dedicates itself to the latter. It aims to prevent market-dominating positions and restrictive practices by market participants. In this regard it seeks to protect the interests of consumers, in particular. Functioning competition is intended to achieve the best performance at the best of conditions.
