Geradin Partners assists Global Food Group in cartel procedure before the Trade and Industry Appeals Tribunal

Geradin Partners has filed an appeal with the Trade and Industry Appeals Tribunal (CBb) on behalf of Global Food Group, an egg product manufacturer, in a cartel sanction procedure initiated by the Authority for Consumers & Markets (ACM). In 2019, the ACM launched an investigation into a possible purchasing cartel between several egg product manufacturers, including Global Food Group. This investigation resulted in fines being imposed on all manufacturers.

All manufacturers filed objections against these fines with the ACM and subsequently appealed the ACM’s decision on objection before the Rotterdam district court. The Rotterdam district court rejected the manufacturer’s appeals and upheld the ACM’s decision. The district court’s judgment is now appealed before the CBb by Global Food Group and the other manufacturers.
