Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the Federal Department could file an administrative law appeal against the Competition Appeals Commission decision
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The competent department may bring a federal administrative law appeal to protect the public interest in correct and equal application of federal law.
Extrahierte Begründung
The department had standing under Art. 103 lit. b OG; no concrete personal interest is required, and this applies also in cartel matters.
