The guidelines on the calculation of fines adopted by the European Commission in 2006 have been put into practice for the first time in five cases on hardcore cartels. By drawing a first assessment, one may notice that, whereas under the former guidelines of 1998, it was the size of the undertaking which predetermined the essential part of the final amount of the fine, henceforth, this role is attributed to the by the infringement affected turnover, to the advantage of multi-product-undertakings.Author(s) :
