Anti-competitive agreements and abuse of a dominant position – compliance

The consequences of violating competition rules can be significant. The sanctions include invalidity, injunction, order, fines and/or damages of a size that can be life-threatening for a business and it is also necessary to ensure – irrespective of the fines – that the contractual basis and the business strategy used can be maintained – also in the event of objections.
