PDF-Version: Hier klicken Zitiervorschlag: Drewes/Wondracek, DKartJ 2024, 59-62 Anders als Green Day hat die Kartellrechts-Community im September 2024 nicht geschlafen, im Gegenteil, es liegt ein äußerst ereignis- und konferenzreicher Monat hinter uns.

Leon Kümmel und Moritz Zwilling berichten über ein spannendes Doktorandenseminar des Instituts für Kartellrecht. Alle Jahre wieder Mit einem spannenden Programm lud das Institut…

Conference Debriefing (41): 50 Years of the German Monopolies Commission

PDF-Version: Click here Suggested Citation: Steinert, DKartJ 2024, 25-30 Happy Birthday, Monopolies Commission! The “Monopolkommission” has been advising the German government on competition matters for 50 years now. The competition community came together in Berlin to party. And what better way to celebrate the “defender of competition” than with what makes it special: Intense debate and “critical discourse”. Unfortunately, the birthday presents did not include political promises of implementation, but the party offered high-ranking recognition and surprising insights. Sebastian Steinert…

Traditions are as much a part of Christmas as the star on the fir tree….

Conference Debriefing (38): Professors go Kartellamt

PDF-Version: Click here Suggested Citation: Podszun, DKartJ 2023, 76-81 What place does economics have in competition law – and especially in abuse of dominance cases? When this question is discussed in Germany, good entertainment is guaranteed. The Bundeskartellamt, the Federal Cartel Office, is not exactly notorious globally for its more economic approach. It invited the German-speaking antitrust world to the debate. The whole antitrust world? No, lawyers from law firms and companies were left out. But Rupprecht Podszun was there…

PDF Version: Click here Suggested citation: Kirk/Bongartz, DKartJ 2023, 36 There are two types of visitors to Brussels: some spend Thursday evening on the Plux, marvelling at the view of the spectacularly illuminated Grand-Place and return home sleep-deprived with Belgian chocolates in their trunks. The others spend their time at conferences, absorbing the thoughts of the stars of the antitrust community and dreaming of the more economic approach on the way back in the red cushions of the Hogwarts Express Thalys.
