Ökonomische Aspekte der privaten Durchsetzung des Kartellrechts
Abstract
Bei Verstößen gegen geltendes Wettbewerbsrecht entstehen typischerweise Schäden durch überhöhte Preise und entgangenen Gewinn bei nachgelagerten Wirtschaftsstufen. Hierfür besteht ein gesetzlicher Schadensersatzanspruch. Auf europäischer Ebene wird derzeit ein Rechtsrahmen diskutiert, mit dem eine einheitliche Behandlung in den Mitgliedsstaaten gewährleistet werden soll. Die Möglichkeit der privaten Durchsetzung des Kartellrechts hat zwei Effekte: Anreize ein Kartell einzugehen und Anreize innerhalb eines bestehenden Kartells. Betroffene Unternehmen haben einen stärkeren Anreiz ein Kartell aufzudecken, dem sie ausgesetzt sind. Dies reduziert die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass sich Kartelle bilden. Bei bestehenden Kartellen kann die Anwendung der Kronzeugenregelung weniger attraktiv werden, wenn ein Unternehmen zwar ein Bußgeld vermeidet, sich aber Schadensersatzansprüchen aussetzt. Daher ist dies in der Ausgestaltung der Haftungsregelung gegen den Kronzeugen zu berücksichtigen. --Download Info
