Delivery Hero, based in Germany, and Glovo, headquartered in Spain, are two of the largest food delivery companies in Europe. From July 2018, Delivery Hero held a minority share in Glovo, and in July 2022 it acquired its sole control.<\/p>\n<p>The concern of the EU executive is that, before the takeover, Delivery Hero and Glovo may have allocated geographic markets and shared commercially sensitive information (e.g., on commercial strategies, prices, capacity, costs, product characteristics). The Commission is also concerned that the companies may have agreed not to poach each other&#8217;s employees. These practices could have been facilitated by Delivery Hero&#8217;s minority share in Glovo.<\/p>\n<p>If proven, the companies&#8217; behaviour may breach EU competition rules that prohibit cartels and restrictive business practices(Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (\u2018TFEU&#8217;) and Article 53 of the EEA Agreement). The Commission says it will now carry out its in-depth investigation as a matter of priority. The opening of a formal investigation does not prejudge its outcome.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Online food delivery is a fast-growing sector, where we must protect competition,&#8221; said EC vice-president Margrethe Vestager: &#8220;This is why we are investigating whether Delivery Hero and Glovo agreed to share markets and not to poach each other&#8217;s employees. If confirmed, such conduct may amount to a breach of EU competition rules, with potential negative effects on prices and choice for consumers and on opportunities for workers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eubusiness.com\/news-eu\/food-delivery-cartel.23ho\/\">EUbusiness<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/eu-opens-cartel-probe-into-food-delivery-firms\/\">EU opens cartel probe into food delivery firms<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[15412,274,15413,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-132586","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-cartel-probe","tag-eu","tag-food-delivery-firms","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132586","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132586"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132586\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132586"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132586"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132586"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
