Abstract

The article describes the new regulation of the 10th amendment to the German Competition Act (Die 10. GWB-Novelle). The reason behind this amendment is to adapt competition law to the challenges of the digital economy. Three key provisions relating to the supervision of „digital corporations” have been analysed, and the impact of these provisions on the reality (proceedings by the German regulator with reference to these provisions) has been approximated. The main legal tension has been pointed out, namely the simultaneous legislative activity of the German and EU legislators in this area.
