The Bundeskartellamt is an independent competition authority in Germany, which is responsible for enforcing antitrust law and monitoring competition.
Rechtsanwalt Dipl.-Ing. Michael Horak, LL.M.
In the context of compliance rights, the Federal Cartel Office plays an important role as it obliges companies to comply with the applicable competition rules and not to commit antitrust infringements. Companies must therefore ensure that their Compliance programs comply with the requirements of the Bundeskartellamt and that they can react quickly and effectively to antitrust violations if necessary. By complying with competition rules and implementing an effective compliance programme, companies can increase the risk of fines and other Sanctions by the Federal Cartel Office and protect their reputation among customers and business partners.

The aim of the Federal Cartel Office is to promote fair competition and protect consumers from price agreements and other unfair practices. To this end, the Authority monitors the market and intervenes when it finds that there are infringements of competition law. This may be the case, for example, if companies have agreed prices or split up to dominate the market.
In recent years, the Federal Cartel Office has also played an important role in regulating large tech companies such as Google and Facebook. The Authority has examined whether these companies abuse their market power and impede competition. In some cases, the Federal Cartel Office has also taken measures to promote competition and strengthen consumer protection.
Overall, the Federal Cartel Office is an important institution that contributes to ensuring fair competition and consumer protection in Germany. The Authority has shown in the past that it is determined and effective in combating competition violations, making an important contribution to strengthening the economy and consumer protection.
