!!!Kartelle

Cartels are associations or agreements of firms which remain legally 
independent and aim at increasing their earning position by exerting 
some restrictive influence on competition. A cartel is only permitted 
by law if a cartel agreement has been filed and approved and if it is 
designed to increase economic output. In Austria the courts that have 
jurisdiction over cartel proceedings are the cartel court, which forms 
part of the Oberlandesgericht Wien and the supreme cartel court at the 
Supreme Court. The Cartel Law of 1988 embodies provisions on cartel 
agreements and other practices restraining competition.
