Oops!… I did it again
Yesterday in a cartel case, the Commission fined 17 producers of prestressing steel a total of € 518 470 750 and again
” accepted three inability-to-pay applications and granted reductions of respectively 25%, 50% and 75% of the fine that would otherwise have been imposed. It had received 13 such applications, under the Commission’s 2006 Fines Guidelines“.
Is this Almunia-driven? Thanks to Kit Brown for pointing out to this intriguing development.
