The opening of the proceedings was prompted by the filing of a formal complaint with the CNC Investigation Directorate against El Corte Inglés, S.A. as well as its affiliates.
In its press release, the CNC reported on the existence of anti-competition undertakings by the aforementioned companies which could contribute, either directly or indirectly, to El Corte Inglés, S.A.’s unfair share of the infomercial time slots and the consequent limitations on competitors’ entrance and expansion in the market.
Now that the proceedings have been opened, the CNC has up to 18 months to investigate the case and issue a ruling from its council.
