Memo: Antitrust: Commission confirms inspections in the sector of cargo train transport services

The European Commission can confirm that on 18 June 2013 Commission officials carried out unannounced inspections at the premises of several companies active in the sector of cargo train transport services to South Eastern Europe. Inspections took place in several Member States. The Commission has reasons to believe that the companies concerned may have violated Article 101 of the TFEU, which prohibits anticompetitive practices such as price fixing and customer allocation.
