Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have a question? We are here to answer! 

The Bundeskartellamt has found that the leading German wholesalers unlawfully agreed on prices for the sale of pesticides products with each other in the years from 1998 to March 03, 2015. The wholesalers have admitted to this infringement to the Bundeskartellamt. They can now no longer dispute these findings. According to the law, this means that the wholesalers involved in the cartel are jointly and severally liable for all damage resulting from these price agreements.
