GWB
Abbreviation for Gesetz gegen Wettbewerbsbeschränkungen
In short and in plain language
The GWB is the German law against limits on competition. It is often called the cartel law.
It also has rules on how larger public contracts are awarded.
So it can matter for firms that bid for such contracts.
Definition
The GWB is the German Act against Restraints of Competition, often called the cartel law. It also contains rules on awarding larger public contracts, for example on the suitability of bidders. It can therefore matter for firms that bid for municipal contracts.
