Division 9.2.5 Upper limit to the fine
United Kingdom
The 10 % turnover limit set out under Article 23(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1/2003 does not appear to be exceeded in this case in respect of fines to be imposed on Universal/Deltafina and Alliance/Transcatab-Mindo. However, as Mindo does no longer maintain any link with the former Dimon group, its joint and several liability should be apportioned within the 10 % of its turnover in its most recent business year (i.e. Eur 2,59 million).
Reduction within the 10 % is necessary in respect of Romana Tabacchi.
The resulting amounts are therefore as follows:
| — Deltafina | EUR 30 000 000 |
| — Dimon (Mindo) | EUR 20 000 000 |
| — Transcatab | EUR 20 000 000 |
| — Romana Tabacchi | EUR 2 050 000 |
