Das Schuldprinzip im europäischen Kartellbußgeldrecht

»The Guilt Principle in European Competition Law«: The European Competition Law is often criticized for infringements of the guilt principle. The thesis examines if this criticism is justified. Conflicts with the guilt principle can be found in several areas of fining proceedings in competition law. The thesis shows that not every conflict means an infringement of the guilt principle, because the guilt principle has to be balanced with the objective of an undistorted competition.
