While the European Commission is planning an EU harmonisation of competition law, the discussion in Germany is continuing on the modernisation of the German Law Against Unfair Competition. Consensus exists on the action required and that consumer interests must play a larger role in competition law. Prof. Edda Mueller, executive board member of the Federal Consumer Association, comments on the proposals and shows possibilities for the stronger consideration of consumer protection.
