OLG Düsseldorf prohibits merger of Remondis with DSD

23.04.20

The Oberlandesgericht Düsseldorf dismissed Remondis' protest against the prohibition of the merger with Duales System Deutschland (DSD) by the Bundeskartellamt. The court confirmed the Bundeskartellamt's decision according to which the merger would have created a dominant position in the marketing of glass cullet and Remondis would have exploited its market power created by the acquisition.

Under the leadership of our Partner Prof. Dr. Justus Haucap, Düsseldorf Competition Economics (formerly DICE Consult) has supported the Bundesverband Sekundärstoffe und Entsorgung (BVSE) in the proceedings against the merger project with its expertise in competition economics.
