Uruguay’s Fábrica Nacionales de Cerveza (FNC), has been fined by the country’s competition authorities over alleged uncompetitive practices carried out between 2007 and 2008, which directly affected the sales of Heineken in Uruguay.
The investigation has found evidence that FNC had used its dominant position during the years 2007-2008 by offering incentives to small retailers who were willing to limit their sale of Heineken brand products, or even to discontinue their products altogether.
FNC was fined at the time after its guilt was determined, but the company had appealed the sanction by the Competition Promotion and Defense Commission. With a new ruling by the administrative court, the fine on FNC has been ratified and the company will have to pay 1.36 million dollars.
