German Federal Cartel Office publishes a new Leniency Programme | Practical Law
On 15 March 2006, the German Federal Cartel Office (FCO) announced a new Leniency Programme. This presents further incentives for cartel members to co-operate with the cartel authorities. The new regulation is intended to build on the experience gained over the last few years and to make the Leniency Programme, which has become an important instrument in the fight against illegal agreements between competitors, even more effective.
