Information Exchange as an anticompetitive agreement: Thin ice between good and bad information exchangeInformation Exchange Agreement • September 6th, 2021
The information exchange between competitors is one of the most controversial horizontal practices in competition law. Indeed, any exchange may have positive effects on competition as well as purely anti-competitive effects. Knowing the exact boundaries of a permissible and prohibited information exchange is absolutely crucial for entrepreneurs, as a clearly defined approach by competition authorities largely determines their own business (e.g., data aggregators and financial traders) and potentially beneficial communication such as benchmarking or information exchange enabling entrepreneurs to make better decisions on prices, demand, investment, business strategies, marketing and research & development.
