COMPETITION COUNCIL SUSPECTS UAB RIMI LIETUVA OF ABUSING ITS MARKET POWER

Competition Council sent a statement of objections to UAB RIMI LIETUVA suspected of abusing its market power. According to the Council‘s preliminary evaluation, the regulation and use of UAB RIMI LIETUVA marketing budget contradicts fair-trade practices and restricts the possibilities for providers to negotiate the conditions of sales.

The fact that the Council has informed UAB RIMI LIETUVA about the conclusions of an investigation does not mean that the infringement has already been established. The Council will take into consideration all the explanations provided by the company before adopting the final decision.
