About us
Competition policy is about fairness and keeping market power in check. It encourages companies to offer consumers goods and services that are of high quality, at a fair price and with more choice. It opens doors for new or smaller competitors to take on established players, and to do so on a level playing field. And it sparks efficiency and innovation – crucial factors for the success of the digital and green transitions. Through competition, companies remain nimble and strong. This creates the – big and small – champions that Europe needs to succeed on the global stage. This contributes to more resilient economic growth and fosters employment.

#pharmaceuticals #cartel #antitrust 📣 Commission sends Statement of Objections to Alchem over first pharmaceutical 💊 cartel case in the EU ◼ The European Commission 🇪🇺 has informed Alchem International Pvt. Ltd. and its subsidiary Alchem International (H.K.) Limited of its preliminary view that they have breached EU antitrust rules by participating in a long-lasting cartel concerning the pharmaceutical ingredient N-Butylbromide Scopolamine/Hyoscine (‘SNBB'), an important input material to produce the abdominal antispasmodic drugs, Buscopan and its generic versions. ◼ The Commission has concerns that Alchem may have coordinated and agreed with other market participants to fix the minimum sales price of SNBB to customers and to allocate quotas. In addition, Alchem may have exchanged commercially sensitive information with competitors. 🔗https://lnkd.in/enY_e4ES

🔴 The European Commission has opened an in-depth investigation to assess, under the Foreign Subsidies Regulation, the acquisition by the Emirates Telecommunications Group Company PJSC of sole control of PPF Telecom Group B.V., excluding its Czech business 👇 🛑 The Commission has preliminary concerns that e& may have been granted foreign subsidies that could distort the EU internal market. 🔍 The preliminary investigation indicates that there are sufficient indications that e& has received foreign subsidies distorting the EU internal market. The alleged subsidies notably take the form of an unlimited guarantee from the UAE and a loan from UAE-controlled banks directly facilitating the transaction. Such subsidies are among the most likely to distort the internal market as set out in the Foreign Subsidies Regulation. At the end of its in-depth investigation, the Commission may 📌 accept commitments proposed by the company if they fully and effectively remedy the distortion, 📌 prohibit the concentration, or 📌 issue a no-objection decision.
