§ 19 (1) AGG stipulates that discrimination in so-called "bulk businesses" and in the conclusion of insurance contracts is inadmissible. According to § 19 (1) no. 1 AGG, "bulk businesses" are contracts that are concluded "without regard to the person and under comparable conditions in a large number of cases". This includes most everyday businesses, e.g. the purchase of food and admission tickets as well as a visit to the hairdresser or a taxi ride.

The EU Directive 2004/113/EC, which regulates gender equality in civil law, refers to transactions that are made available to the public "without regard for the person". The AGG restricts the scope of application of the prohibition of discrimination by the additional requirements of "comparable conditions" and "multitude of cases", i.e. for the discrimination category "gender" in violation of European law and should be amended accordingly.

Furthermore, § 19 (5) s.3 AGG excludes a "bulk business" in the case of the renting of housing if the landlord does not rent more than 50 apartments. Persons who do not rent out flats on a large scale are therefore exempt from the prohibitions of discrimination contained in the AGG. This exception is also not compatible with the Gender Directive.

Although § 19 (2) AGG formulates a prohibition of racial discrimination for all areas of civil law covered by the AGG (§ 2 (1) no. 5 to 8 AGG), this is partially revoked by § 19 (3) and (5) AGG.
