Amendment”).
With the passing of the Amendment[1], Germany is setting the pace for an ambitious goal: the regulation of digital platforms. As noted during the parliamentary discussion[2], the new provisions are specifically designed to provide the German Federal Cartel Office (
Bundeskartellamt) with an efficient instrument against alleged “Wild West methods” in the digital sector to keep digital markets open. The Amendment also introduces a number of other changes to the German Competition Act concerning,
inter alia, antitrust investigations procedure, leniency and cartel damage claims.
In the legislative process, the German Parliament has also implemented some last-minute changes to the merger control provisions: the two domestic turnover thresholds were increased from EUR 25 million to EUR 50 million, and from EUR 5 million to EUR 17.5 million.

CEI Joins Coalition Letter Opposed to Most Favored Nation Drug Pricing Final Rule
Introduction
On behalf of the undersigned federal and state-based organizations, we write to express our opposition to the interim final rule to implement the Most Favored Nation (MFN) Model under section 1115A of the Social Security Act. We request you withdraw the rule.
The rule forces physicians, patients, and providers into a mandatory demonstration under the Obamacare Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) and ties the prices paid for medicines in Medicare Part B to the prices in foreign countries with socialized health care systems.
The proposal imports foreign price controls into America’s healthcare system. This will harm medical innovation and the development of new medicines. It will threaten high-paying American manufacturing jobs and do nothing to stop foreign freeloading. Instead, it will move the United States closer to a system of government-controlled healthcare.
