The European Commission can confirm that on 10 March 2009 Commission officials carried out unannounced inspections at the premises of the electricity company EDF in France. The Commission has reason to believe that EDF may have violated EC Treaty antitrust rules that prohibit the abuse of a dominant market position (Article 82). The suspected illegal conduct may include actions to raise prices on the French wholesale electricity market. The Commission officials were accompanied by their counterparts from the French competition authority. |
