The European Commission welcomed on the 10 July 2014 the judgment by the EU Court of Justice confirming in full a Commission decision of 2007 that had fined Telefónica for a margin squeeze in the Spanish broadband market, in breach of EU antitrust rules. This judgment is important because it confirms the Commission's power to enforce competition law against abuses committed on regulated markets and the Commission's methodology to establish the existence of a margin squeeze. In July 2007 the Commission fined the Spanish incumbent telecoms operator Telefónica €151 million for a very serious abuse of its dominant position in the Spanish broadband market. |
