Martijn van de Hel and Saskia Stolk are assisting a company in a European Commission ("Commission") investigation into alleged cartel prohibition violations in the synthetic turf sector. The Commission's investigation focuses on the artificial turf market for sports. The Commission is investigating whether companies in this market have entered into market-sharing agreements and have boycotted competitors. This would involve violations of Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
Maverick Advocaten also assisted the company during the Commission's dawn raid. The Dutch Consumer and Market Authority ("ACM") was also present during the visit. The Commission carried out dawn raids at several companies in the European Union.
There was also media coverage of the Commission's raids. See the FD news item here and the NOS article here. See the Commission's press release here.
