Division (25)

Several undertakings claimed some or all of the following attenuating circumstances: early termination of the infringement, a minor/passive role, the absence of an effective implementation of the practices, the implementation of compliance programs, absence of benefit, difficulties in the Fittings industry. These claims are all rejected as being unfounded except for the minor/passive role claimed by Flowflex. The basic amount for Flowflex was therefore reduced by 10 %.
