German term or phrase: Auskunftsverfahren
"In der jüngsten Vergangenheit haben sowohl das Bundeskartellamt als auch die Landeskartellbehörden mehrere hundert Auskunftsverfahren an Netzbetreiber gestellt und in ca. 10 Fällen anschließend Missbrauchsverfahren eingeleitet"

Explanation:
... I would translate "Auskunftsverfahren eingeleitet" or "Auskunftsersuchen gestellt" as "investigated on"/"conducted investigations"/"made inquiries".

To me it sounds appropriate.

You\'re welcome, but the typo wasn\'t the point here. Were you fine with my suggestion, or what did you use in the end. I tried to make my bestv out of it but hoped that there would be other suggestions, too.
