These products are typically used in major constructions projects.<\/p><p>The aim of the prohibited coordination was to increase the price level for infrastructure pipeline products by restricting wholesale competition.<\/p><p>The conduct of the infringers was based on reciprocity: as a rule, the manufacturers refrained from directly trading with customers and directed sales to wholesalers. This was to the detriment of customers, especially in large construction projects, who hoped for the opportunity to also trade directly with manufacturers (as the price level is typically lower than wholesale). In return, wholesalers refrained from taking important quantities of competing products of other manufacturers who were not part of the prohibited coordination.<\/p><p>The products in question are used in large construction projects, with a total market value estimated at around EUR 156 million in 2016. While there are only a few large suppliers in the affected market, the parties represented the vast majority of the market for plastic plumbing and heating products, with a combined share of around 70% both in terms of production and sales. Given the size of the market in 2016 and assuming a stable market size during the cartel period, the volume of trade affected could be estimated at EUR 936 million.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-9764163\" data-id=\"9764163\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8e27616 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8e27616\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-medium\">Your contacts:<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8b70798 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8b70798\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#cdc-mail-contact\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/carteldamageclaims.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Akos-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-1862\" alt=\"Meet the Team of experts - Photo of Akos Reger, person in business suit, smiling, male, gallantly, crossed arms\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carteldamageclaims.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Akos-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/carteldamageclaims.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Akos-510x510.jpg 510w, https:\/\/carteldamageclaims.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Akos-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Akos Reger<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8e6a150 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8e6a150\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#cdc-mail-contact\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/carteldamageclaims.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Fabrice-Van-Boeckel-Cartel-Damage-Claims-cdc-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-200\" alt=\"Meet the Team of experts - Photo of Fabrice Van Boeckel, person in business suit, glasses with dark frames, smiling, male, gallantly, standing upright\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carteldamageclaims.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Fabrice-Van-Boeckel-Cartel-Damage-Claims-cdc-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/carteldamageclaims.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Fabrice-Van-Boeckel-Cartel-Damage-Claims-cdc-200x200.png 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Fabrice Van Boeckel<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 8 September 2022, the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority (KKV) found that six companies, namely the three largest Finnish wholesalers and the three largest manufacturers of plastic infrastructure pipeline products for heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC), had participated in prohibited coordination.
