As the Federal Cartel Office in late September submitted its report on the market power of the major supermarket chains, was from a sale of the Tengelmann stores at Edeka no speech. In retrospect, however, reads the “Sector Inquiry” as a veto threat against the proposed acquisition. Already keep the competition watchdog, the strong position of the Quartet of Edeka, Rewe, Aldi and Lidl for highly questionable, a further concentration they want to “counteract consistently”. Hard to imagine, then, that the merger simply passes.

Because the antitrust feared regional competition problems, it insisted on a portion of the sites for sale. Whether it this time too comes so?

From Helmut Bünder, Bonn
