collusion

Voorbeeldzinnen

1. The infringement in this case consisted primarily of secret collusion among cartel members to fix prices in the EEA, supported by market sharing and agreed actions against competitors there.
2. The size estimated is at around EUR 62 million in 2001, the last full year of the infringement. A peculiar feature of the arrangements is that the collusion occurred not only among sellers, as is usually the case, but among sellers and buyers together.
3. Considering the nature of the infringement and its geographic scope (the infringement in this case consisted primarily of secret collusion between cartel members to fix prices in the EEA and elsewhere, supported by the exchange of confidential information), the infringement must be qualified as very serious.
4. Under such an agreement the parties mutually commit not to license their competing technologies to third parties. In cases where the parties have a significant degree of market power such agreements may facilitate collusion by ensuring that the parties are the only sources of output in the market based on the licensed technologies.
