Caparros said in the Interview: “On the 6.

Caparros’s own employees warned of antitrust problems

In truth, have doubted his own people from the very beginning that the division of the markets thought. A log of the phone conference last Wednesday, the 12. October, confirmed that. It says: “on the part Of Rewe was then performed, that the evaluation of the antitrust issues since the Meeting on Monday, nothing has changed. It is further very questionable whether a transfer of (in particular) of the two regions of Berlin and North Rhine Edeka to Rewe moves after execution of the purchase agreement between Edeka and Tengelmann in the framework of the Ministerial approval.” Caparros is contrary in this respect with his statement, it had all been clear, the assessment of its own employees.

Rather, these had already logged in on Monday, so at the first meeting of counterparts on the working level after the crisis meeting of business leaders, their doubts as to the feasibility of a distribution.

The astonishment of Caparros on Haubs announcement is all the more surprising, as he was on Tuesday, 11. October, yourself via e-Mail of its participation in an “elephants ‘ round”, which was scheduled for Saturday cancelled. Instead, he suggested to the Haubs notice for dismantling, a Simple turn on. The should have “competence and authority” and “neutral”. “It would be best if Mr Gabriel makes it even.” This seemed like a joke. Until then, the Rewe boss had very clearly hints that he keeps by the Federal Minister of economy, only very little. In a mirrorInterview, he accused him of bias and incompetence. To the simple question of the next chief Meeting was on the Sunday. It’s supposed to take place this Monday. But no one seems to want to get from Caparros, the bogeyman-roller slipped.

Meanwhile, Haub begins this Monday with the smashing. 30 to 40 of the 105 branches in NRW he thinks is not for sale. Edeka is to come in the retail sale is the first. To the first supermarket is sold, but at least a couple of weeks. Until then, Caparros could relent.
