The Investigation Services of the Autorité de la concurrence have conducted unannounced inspections at companies in mainland France and Réunion suspected of implementing anticompetitive practices in the energy cable distribution sector in French overseas territories. The inspections were authorized by a liberty and custody judge. The purpose of the inspections is to gather evidence of potential anticompetitive behavior in the sector. The companies under investigation have not been named. The outcome of the inspections will determine if further action, such as formal investigations or fines, will be pursued. The energy cable distribution sector in the French overseas territories is directly affected by these inspections, and other companies in the sector may also be implicated if they are found to have engaged in anticompetitive practices.
