  • Summary

  • The Austrian Federal Competition Authority seeks to fine Dutch Heineken and its Austrian subsidiary Brau Union potentially billions of euros for market abuse and violations of the anti-trust ban. In June, the watchdog submitted a 260-page application for an “appropriate fine” to the cartel court. It had found evidence that the beer market leader Brau Union “cemented” its dominant position by using unlawful methods. In this podcast Ina Verstl and Ernst Faltermeier discuss the case, while drawing attention to Europe’s brewers and their previous cartel shenanigans. They wonder why Heineken Austria has been kept on a long leash and allowed to operate a vast number of breweries, while its parent has closed production plants right, left, and centre across the continent.
