Polish regulator fines CRH €26m

POLAND’S competition regulator – the Office for Competition and Consumer Protection (OCCP) – has imposed record multi-million euro fines on the Polish units of CRH Plc for alleged price fixing and other anti-competitive behaviour.

It has also been accused of carving up the cement market with some of the other key players to gain competitive advantage.

Others hit with record fines include Cemex SAB and four other cement producers, fined for their anti-competitive behaviour by the Polish authorities.
