Inspections In Consumer Detergents Sector

摘要

The European Commission confirmed that on 17, 18 and 19 June its officials carried out unannounced inspections at the premises of several producers of consumer detergents such as washing machine and dishwasher detergents and laundry softeners. The Commission has reason to believe that the companies concerned may have violated EC Treaty rules on restrictive business practices and cartels (Article 81), which prohibit practices such as price fixing.
