Hungary's Competition Office (GVH) has fined brewer Dreher Sörgyárak HUF 12 million for violating rules prohibiting beverage makers from signing exclusive contracts with catering establishments, the watchdog said on Tuesday, according to a report by state news wire MTI.
In a probe, GVH found that Dreher had established a partnership with a catering establishment in the capital with conditions incentivizing the business to get "practically all" of its beer from the brewer.
GVH instructed Dreher to set up an internal compliance program.
GVH recently took similar measures against brewer Heineken Hungaria for the same type of violations.
