»Arbitration Commitments in European and German Antitrust Law. The Effective Involvement of Arbitral Tribunals in Merger Control, Antitrust and Abuse of Dominance Proceedings«: This study examines legal issues associated with the use of arbitration commitments, including the (group-wide) civil law binding effect of such commitments and the standard of ordre public review of such arbitral awards, which serves as a corrective to conflicting decisions by the competition authority and arbitral tribunal. In addition, the paper examines why arbitration commitments have not been accepted in Germany and whether such commitments can be imposed by the competition authority.
