Key legal question
Whether the Kartellgesetz applied to the organization’s self-help measures and product contributions
Extracted holding
The challenged measures were based on Art. 8 LwG and therefore fell outside the Kartellgesetz under Art. 3 Abs. 1 lit. a KG.
Extracted reasoning
Promotion of sales and market adjustment are core agricultural self-help measures; the organization was entitled to adopt them as a branch organization under the LwG.
