Greek Competition Commission Conducts Surprise Inspections in Food Markets
On December 17 and 18, the Greek Competition Commission carried out surprise on-site inspections as part of an inquiry into potential anti-competitive practices in the coffee, chocolate, and baby food supply and retail markets. The inspections aim to gather evidence regarding horizontal or vertical collusion and possible abuse of market dominance. The commission emphasizes that these actions do not imply any predetermined conclusions regarding the businesses involved and outlines strict penalties for anti-competitive behavior under Greek and EU competition law.
