<

It is reported that over the past decade, some regional and national authorities have stepped up investigations and sanctions on monopolistic behavior, and chemical industry has become the focus of investigations.

In all countries and regions in the world, the EU’s sanctions for monopoly are the most severe. During this decade EU antitrust commissioners Mario Munti (1999-2004) and Nelly Cross (2004-2009) launched a large-scale investigation into price-fixing coalitions to members of the coalition that have reported price manipulation. The company provided favorable conditions for exemption from fines and achieved good results. The EU’s fines for price manipulation unions have risen sharply from 615 million euros in the period 1990-1999 to 12.9 billion euros in 2000-2009, with fines exceeding 4.1 billion euros coming from the chemical industry.
