It is of highest importance for all participants including Siemens to absolutely avoid any violation against law (including, e.g. antitrust law, other relevant compliance fields).
The basic principles of antitrust law are clear and simple: Limit the exchange of information to such information which is required for the purposes of the COMOS DDMS Pharma Community and do not discuss or align on competitively sensitive topics with potential competitors (e.g. strategic information such as prices, markets and customers, innovation plans).

If the participant observes indications for a misuse of the COMOS DDMS Pharma Community for anti-competitive behavior, the participant shall inform a responsible Siemens employee without undue delay.
