Memo: Competition: Commission has carried out inspections at Hungarian electricity companies

The European Commission confirmed that on 16 May 2006 Commission officials carried out unannounced inspections at the premises of electricity companies in Hungary. The Commission had reason to believe that the companies concerned could have violated EC Treaty anti-trust rules that prohibit restrictive business practices and/or abuse of a dominant market position (Articles 81 and 82 respectively).
