In general, the cases show the diversity and complexity of current practices and their impact on the performance of competing firms.

The principles of the leniency program are reflected in the Ordinance on Sanctions LCart of 23 March 2004. Can therefore be released from the fine, in full or in part, companies that are party to an illegal agreement where
