 In particular, the abovementioned undertakings, in the context of a joint and uniform plan, concluded agreements to determine the amount of the costs for the provision of transport services.

The Competition Commission requires that the abovementioned undertakings bring the infringement to an end and avoid repetition in the future.

For the above violation, the Competition Commission imposes fines on the companies involved in the total amount of € 396,526, reduced by 15%, for their cooperation under the Settlement Procedure and the unconditional admission of their participation in the infringement. For one of them, the Association of professional truck owners of Kavala "AGIOS CHRISTOFOROS", the Commission finds that due to the application of article 25 par. 2 of the Greek Competition law 3959/2011, which concerns the maximum amount of fine imposed by law, the fine for its participation in the infringement, is zero.
