At the request of the Croats, the AVK investigated a company in Ljubljana

The Slovenian Competition Agency (AVK) conducted an investigation at the Candy Hoover company in Ljubljana based on a request from the Croatian competition authority (AZTN) and a court order from Ljubljana District Court. This marks the first time AVK has conducted an investigation simultaneously with another EU member state's competition authority. The agency suspects that Candy Hoover and Haier Croatia, which form an economic unit, have restricted their distributors' ability to set selling prices for their products in Slovenia and Croatia. AVK director Andrej Matvoz emphasized the smooth and

Na Javni agenciji RS za varstvo konkurence (AVK) so na podlagi odredbe ljubljanskega okrožnega sodišča in zaprosila hrvaškega varuha konkurence (AZTN) izvedli preiskavo v podjetju Candy Hoover v Ljubljani. Prvič v zgodovini AVK je bila preiskava v Sloveniji opravljena hkrati s preiskavo v drugi državi članici EU ter na podlagi zaprosila organa za varstvo konkurence druge države članice EU, so sporočili iz agencije.

Sumijo, da sta podjetji Candy Hoover in Haier Croatia, ki tvorita eno ekonomsko enoto, omejevali svoje distributerje pri določanju prodajnih cen njihovih izdelkov na ozemlju Slovenije in Hrvaške.

"Veseli me, da je mednarodno sodelovanje potekalo izjemno gladko in učinkovito, saj to potrjuje našo pripravljenost in sposobnost za usklajeno delovanje na ravni celotne EU. S takšnim sodelovanjem se krepi vloga in učinkovitost delovanja nacionalnih organov za varstvo konkurence, kar je osnovno vodilo Direktive ECN+," je ob nenapovedani preiskavi v omenjenem podjetju povedal direktor agencije Andrej Matvoz.

Agencija ima v preiskovalnem postopku, ki je namenjen ugotavljanju obstoja omejevalnih ravnanj, na voljo več preiskovalnih instrumentov, pri čemer je poleg zahteve za posredovanje podatkov in zbiranja informacij najpomembnejša prav preiskava, navajajo. "To je glavno orodje za odkrivanje dokazov, povezanih s kršitvami konkurenčnega prava. Dejstvo, da je bila preiskava izvedena, pa ne prejudicira ugotovitve kršitev določb pravil varstva konkurence," so še zapisali na AVK.
