Booking.com has expressed its satisfaction with the decision of the Berlin Regional Court regarding the alleged violation of European competition law through the long-term use of price parity clauses. Tornos News reported on the matter today.
The full statement by Booking.com:
We are pleased that the Berlin Court today confirmed key aspects of our case and rejected certain existing claims. We believe that the previous use of parity clauses, which have not been applied in Germany since 2016, did not violate competition law and benefited travelers and partners by promoting competition. We remain proud of our role in strengthening the vitality of tourism in Europe and will continue to support our partners in contributing to the growth of local economies.
