Memo: Antitrust: Commission welcomes General Court ruling on E.ON breach of seals case

The European Commission welcomes the judgment of the EU General Court (case T-141/08), dismissing E.ON's appeal against a €38 million fine the Commission imposed on it in 2008 for the breach of a seal during an inspection. The judgment sends a clear signal to companies that any steps, be they intentional or negligent, that undermine the integrity and effectiveness of inspections will not be tolerated.
