For high collision energies and small qT (minijets) we enter the BFKL region. This implies that we must take into account off-shell parton cross sections and non-integrated structure functions (kT-factorization). It is also essential to avoid double counting, as one emitted parton is a participant in two different subcollisions. The LDC model, developed in Lund to describe DIS, provides a very convenient formalism to handle these problems. The result is a dynamical suppression of minijets for small qT. The resulting transverse energy flow is similar to the result from a ''naive'' calculation based on integrated structure functions with a qT cut-off around 2 GeV.6 pages, 7 figures, uses ws-p8-50x6-00.cls, contributed paper to the Proceedings of the XXXth International Symposium on Multiparticle Dynamics, Tihany, Hungary, October 2000High Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
