EU breaks car glass cartel with 1.4-billion-euro fine
AFP - 1 hour 53 minutes ago
BRUSSELS (AFP) - - The European Commission on Wednesday slapped a fine of 1.4 billion euros on four car glass makers marking the biggest penalty ever imposed in a cartel case.
Europe's top antitrust watchdog accused Asahi, Pilkington, Saint-Gobain and Soliver of carving up the market for car glass in Europe among themselves and sharing trade secrets between early 1998 and early 2003.
"These companies cheated the car industry and car buyers for five years in a market worth two billion euros in the last year of the cartel," EU Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes said.
"The commission has imposed such high fines because it cannot and will not tolerate such illegal behaviour," she added.
