Overview of German Antitrust Law
German antitrust law is codified in the Gesetz gegen Wettbewerbsbeschränkungen (GWB), which prohibits anticompetitive agreements, abuse of market dominance, and merger control. The Bundeskartellamt (Federal Cartel Office) serves as the primary enforcement authority, complementing EU competition law.
