Abstract The article discusses the European Commission's legal settlement procedures regarding cartels, with emphasis given to its denial of plea bargaining bargaining and negotiation. The author argues that such a hard stance on settlements may actually have negative effects on cartelization deterrence measures. The Commission's bargaining power revolved around its adherence to fixed fine reductions.
