EU Antitrust Inspectors Raid Ferrero Over Cross-Border Sales Curbs

European Commission officials made unannounced antitrust inspections at a chocolate maker's premises in two EU countries over possible restrictions on cross-border trade, and Ferrero confirmed it was the company.

The Commission said the inspected company may have broken EU rules against cartels and restrictive practices and abuse of a dominant position (Articles 101 and 102 TFEU)^[4]
It is looking at possible market segmentation: restrictions on the trade of goods between member states and obstacles to multi-country purchases^[4]
Ferrero told AFP that on-site inspections were taking place in its offices and that it was fully cooperating^[1]
Unannounced inspections are a preliminary step; they do not mean the company is guilty, and there is no legal deadline to finish the inquiry^[4]
The precedent is the EUR 337.5 million fine the Commission imposed on Mondelez in May 2024 for obstructing cross-border trade in chocolate, biscuits and coffee^[2]
