Division (11)

Further evidence in the Commission’s file shows that this infringement continued even after the Commission inspections in March and April 2001, as far as Comap, IBP/Oystertec (Advanced Fluid Connections) and Frabo are concerned until April 2004 and to a lesser extent as far as Delta is concerned. With regard to Aalberts, it participated in the infringement after the inspections between June 2003 and April 2004. This is the first cartel case which for certain participant companies continued for three years after the inspections.
