| Abstract: | Symbiotic arrangements do not fit into the traditional pattern of antitrust law. Vertical distribution agreements, exclusive sales and buying agreements, franchise agreements and others may have positive effects on the level of intrabrand competition. Neither German nor European antitrust law have developed a consistent concept to deal with symbiotic agreements. The paper criticizes the present German and European approach and comes to the conclusion that the relevant issues are creation or strengthening of a dominant market position. |
