Abstract: This paper explains the novelties for sector inquiries as a result of the 11th
amendment to the German Competition Act. The Bundeskartellamt is now authorized
to impose measures ranging from behavioural requirements to the unbundling of a
company in order to remedy identified competition problems. The new regulatory
instrument supplements antitrust law in an appropriate manner.
