Following the Parliament (March 9, 2017), the Federal States Council, Germany’s second legislative chamber, has approved the most recent reform to German competition law (March 31, 2017).  Accordingly, several new rules will enter into force shortly, in particular in the area of damages for cartel infringements.  Silke Heinz has published a post on Kluwer Competition Law Blog on the reform, see here.
