Summary
When third parties suffer because of a cartel, its members are liable for compensation. Since the ninth amendment of Germany's Restraints of Competition Act (GWB) was introduced, exceptions can be made for cartel members who cooperate with the authorities and take part in leniency programmes. But does the amendment achieve what it should? Mareen Katt investigates both the German regulation and the underlying European requirements to find out.
