Abstract

Antitrust authorities have focused their enforcement efforts in recent years on international cartels and a number of such cartels have been heavily sanctioned by US authorities, by European authorities or by both (for example lysine, citric acid, vitamins, sorbate, sodium glucomate). Yet some cartels with an international dimension, ie export cartels, have been treated more leniently than others.
