The Bundeskartellamt regularly informs the wider public about its work and ongoing cases. Where helpful for a better understanding, the authority discloses details about procedural steps in investigations, investigative techniques and similar information.   According to Section 50d(1) GWB, the Bundeskartellamt is authorised to exchange information within the European Competition Network pursuant to Article 12(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1/2003 (implementation of TFEU rules on competition). Under Section 50e GWB the Bundeskartellamt may also exchange information in other cases in which it cooperates with the European Commission or other national competition authorities outside the ECN for the purpose of applying provisions of antitrust law. However, in such cases the authority has to make sure that the information provided is used for the application of antitrust law only and that confidential information is kept confidential.
