Competition Office fines Auchan HUF 1 bln
Hungary始s Competition Office (GVH) fined Auchan Magyarorsz谩g HUF 1 bln for charging its suppliers to stock their products in its inventory, the office said today.
The office claims that Auchan had unilaterally charged about three-quarters of its non-food suppliers the fee from 2006-2014.
GVH said it considered Auchan始s continuation of the practice even after the Hungarian unit of Spar was cited for a similar offence in June 2012 as聽an aggravating factor. GVH considered it a mitigating factor that approximately 44% of Auchan始s suppliers were "not vulnerable market players".
