The Commission takes note of the judgment of the European Court of Justice that confirms the Commission’s decision of 2016 on Pometon SpA’s participation in the steel abrasives cartel.
Today’s judgment also brings clarity on the Commission’s approach for hybrid staggered settlement cartel cases.
The Commission also notes that the European Court of Justice has reduced the amount of the fine imposed on Pometon following its finding that the Commission had incorrectly determined the basic amount of that fine.
