The Flour Cartel- A provocation?
Apparently someone at the French Competition Authority liked the series on the endives cartel (see here and here):
The Autorité de la Concurrence has imposed a fine of 242.4 million euros on flour makers.
Isn’t it obvious that this is a poor attempt to provoke us to write a new -and more appetizing- series on croissants?
Nice try, but they’ll have to do butter.
And yes, I’m aware of how bad the joke is 😉

Alfonso, I’m really enjoying all your work on this website. Your posts are never less than informative, and at their best are funny AND interesting. I write for a financial mag and we’re looking to make a move into covering business law and legal news (antitrust is a natural, and fecund, topic for us to investigate). If you fancy having some of your work featured, drop me an email, or follow me on Twitter (@WilliamHenryWF).
Cheers,
Will
