Bundeswettbewerbsbehörde | Austrian Federal Competition Authority

At the Austrian Federal Competition Authority (BWB) we believe that fairness matters. That‘s why we help make competition work - for the benefit of consumers and businesses. Our work makes a difference to many sectors of the economy in Austria. Competition promotes entrepreneurship and efficiency, creates greater consumer choice, and contributes to price reductions and quality improvements. Our statutory powers and duties include: - detecting and prosecuting anticompetitive agreements and abuses of market power; - reviewing merger transactions; - conducting sector inquiries; - contributing to economic policy issues & legislative proposals in competition law; and - raising public awareness on the benefits of competition.
