Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Shell, within the group of bitumen suppliers, and KWS, within the group of the bitumen purchasers, bear a special responsibility for their role in instigating and leading the cartel. They were the driving forces in the operation of the cartel. This role justifies an increase of 50 % in the basic amount of the fine to be imposed on Shell and KWS.
