The European Commission has raided the offices of state-owned utility Electricite de France. The unannounced inspections were carried out at the company's premises in France, the Commission said, adding that its officials were accompanied by counterparts from the French competition authority.rn"The Commission has reason to believe that EDF may have violated EC Treaty antitrust rules that prohibit the abuse of a dominant market position," the Commission said. "The suspected illegal conduct may include actions to raise prices on the French wholesale electricity market." The statement said that surprise inspections are a "preliminary step" in investigations into suspected .anti-competitive practices. No timeframe for the enquiry was given.
