E.U.: Commission fines cartel for fixing price of mounted windows and window doors

The European Commission published a summary decision announcing fines of over 82 million euros to nine firms involved in a price-fixing cartel for mounting windows and window doors. According to the EC, the cartel spanned across the EEA, and the involved parties agreed on a common price for mountings for windows and window doors. The cartel has supposedly been in place from late 1999 until mid-2007, and it involved coordination through trade association activities.
