Investigation into alleged infringements of Article 1 of Law 703/77 and Article 101 TFEU by companies active in the fish farming sector
Athens, 19 January 2010
Following the issuing of a statement of objections, the Hellenic Competition Commission will convene and hear a case of alleged infringements of Article 1 of Law 703/77 and Article 101 TFEU by companies active in the fish farming sector, namely “NIREUS AQUACULTURE S.A.”, “DIAS AQUACULTURE S.A.”, “HELLENIC FISHFARMING S.A.”, “ANDROMEDA S.A.” and “SELONDA AQUACULTURE S.A.”.
According to the statement of objections, the latter companies agreed for a limited period of time to coordinate their prices and to limit/control production in the relevant market for sea bream, thereby infringing the competition law rules.
The issuing of a statement of objections does not prejudge the existence of an infringement. The Hellenic Competition Commission will decide upon the case, taking into account all relevant facts and after hearing all implicated parties.
