In order to carry out the tasks connected with the control of cartels by the central branch of the Industrie, it was already established in the month under review that the Cartel Supervision Office was set up in the Central Association of Industry, to whose head Dr.Roland Syha was appointed. The ongoing cartel issues were dealt with jointly by the Antitrust Supervision Division and the Cartel and Price Department, which continues to conduct the cartel consultation. The negotiations between the cartel producer of the Protectorate and the relevant cartels of the Empire were concluded by concluding a cross-contract, which provides for the transfer of the sale terms and prices of the Reich cartels in the case of deliveries to the Reich. The cross-contract also provides for provisions on organisational cooperation, the implementation of controls and a settlement of the arbitration procedure. The negotiations of_the goldware producers of the Protectorate with the cartel organisation of the goldware manufacturers of the Reiche /Creeditor Association in Pforzheim/ have been successfully concluded. In this respect, production in the Protectorate shows considerable deviations from that of the rest of the Reich as the small firms here outweigh those which do not meet the conditions for accession to the Creditor
