Total<\/a>\u00a0mindestens von 1992 bis 2005 an einem europaweiten Paraffinwachskartell beteiligt waren. In mehr als 50 Treffen in ganz Europa, hunderten von Briefen, Faxen und E-Mails legten die Kartellmitglieder Zielpreise fest und \u00fcberwachten deren Umsetzung, teilten sich Kunden sowie Marktanteile zu und tauschten wirtschaftlich sensible Informationen aus.<\/p>\nNach Angaben der Europ\u00e4ischen Kommission bestand der Gesamtplan darin, den Preiswettbewerb zu verringern und zu verhindern, um die Preise zu stabilisieren oder zu erh\u00f6hen, indem Mindestpreise und Preiserh\u00f6hungen vereinbart wurden. Die Kartellmitglieder zielten darauf ab, den Wettbewerb zu verringern oder sogar auszuschalten, um letztlich h\u00f6here Gewinne zu erzielen. Vier Konzerne r\u00e4umten ihre Beteiligung an dem Kartell ein und kooperierten mit der Kommission im Rahmen ihrer Kronzeugenregelung. Die Kommission verh\u00e4ngte gegen alle Unternehmensgruppen Geldbu\u00dfen in H\u00f6he von mehr als 676 Mio. EUR.<\/p>\n
CDCs Schadensersatzklage
\n<\/h2>\n
Im September 2011 reichte CDC eine Klage auf Schadensersatz aufgrund des Paraffinwachskartells gegen ExxonMobil, Shell, Total und Sasol ein. Die Klage wurde in Den Haag, Niederlande, erhoben. CDC erwarb die Schadensersatzanspr\u00fcche im Wesentlichen von Kerzenherstellern, mit Produktionsst\u00e4tten in f\u00fcnf europ\u00e4ischen L\u00e4ndern. Die detaillierten Transaktionsdaten, die CDC von den gesch\u00e4digten Unternehmen sammelte, zeigten zusammen mit anderen Marktdaten, dass das Kartell zu erheblichen Preis\u00fcberh\u00f6hungen gef\u00fchrt hatte. Diese Erkenntnisse wurden von externen Wirtschaftsexperten best\u00e4tigt. Der von CDC geltend gemachte Gesamtschaden einschlie\u00dflich Zinsen betrug \u00fcber 100 Mio. EUR. Der Haager Gerichtshof best\u00e4tigte mit Urteil vom 12. Dezember 2014 seine Zust\u00e4ndigkeit, die Wirksamkeit der Forderungsabtretungen und die ma\u00dfgeblichen Rechtsordnungen.<\/p>\n
Im Juni 2015 erzielte CDC, wie aus der \u00f6ffentlichen Berichterstattung von Sasol ersichtlich, eine au\u00dfergerichtliche Einigung und zog anschlie\u00dfend die Klage gegen Sasol zur\u00fcck. Im Jahr 2017 nahm CDC nach weiteren Vergleichen die Klage auch gegen die \u00fcbrigen Beklagten zur\u00fcckg.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
