The President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) in Poland, Tomasz Chróstny, has fined Atex Multibranch Enterprise approximately 2.5 million PLN for participating in a price-fixing conspiracy in the coal sales market. The UOKiK found that Atex had coordinated prices with other market players, violating competition law. This decision serves as a warning to companies engaging in anti-competitive practices, emphasizing the importance of fair competition in the coal industry. The fine imposed on Atex demonstrates the UOKiK's commitment to enforcing competition rules and deterring collusive behavior in the market.
