I think in the end, he's only going to get what he should have asked

difference is now there's a 245 euro "surcharge". That's still better
than extorting payment from all owners.

Although if he can get the regulating bodies to ground aircraft unless
they pay, then that changes things. I'm very hopeful they won't allow
themselves to be used like that.

Is there any case to involve monopolies legislation?

Legislation in what country or state? Monopoly? DG has no monopoly in
the glider market. And actions like this may well result in less
market share for them. US Federal law regarding monopoly like the
Sherman act really does not apply, there is no action or conspiracy to
limit trade or monopolize a market. In the big picture, the market is
doing fine, customers are able to buy gliders from other
manufactures.
