Luxembourg, 21/10/2003 (Agence Europe) - The second chamber of the Court of First Instance has cancelled the part of the European Commission's 2000 decision which accuses Opel Nederland of implementing a policy restricting the supply of cars to its dealers between 1996 and 1998. The Commission was unable to prove that company limited deliveries of vehicles to dealers which exported too many vehicles to other Member States, in other words once they exceeded the number of vehicles indicated in the sales evaluation guide sent to each of them, said the Court, which accordingly reduced the fine of 43 million EUR to 35,475 million. The Court did, however, back up the Commission's other complaints, having accused the manufacturer of a "very serious" infringement of European law in dividing up the Dutch market and restricting parallel imports, as considerably more Open vehicles were on sale in the other Member States at the time that in the Netherlands.
