On Tuesday, 23 November, the European Commission announced that it had carried out unannounced inspections on the premises of a company that is active in the defence sector. The country in which the inspection was conducted is not known at this stage.
The European Commission is concerned that the inspected company may have violated EU antitrust rules, which prohibit cartels and restrictive business practices pursuant to Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
