The Comisión Nacional de la Competencia has handed out multi-million Euro fines to Linpac, Groupe Guillin and ILPA for their part in a fruit and vegetable packaging price-fixing cartel from 1999 to 2007, with emphasis on the years 2000 to 2004. The CNC’s decision comes after an 18-month investigation that found price-fixing summits and bilateral contracts enforcing the conspiracy.
ILPA has filed an appeal with the competition authority, claiming that their presence in the market in the period was only marginal.
