The European Commission said on Thursday it had conducted inspections in France on biomedical analysis sites for antitrust concerns.
The European Union (EU)'s antitrust watchdog said in a statement that a business association and an enterprise both active on the biomedical analysis market were targeted in the raids on Wednesday, without disclosing their names.
The commission said it had reason to believe that the EU rules prohibiting cartels, restrictive business practices and abuse of a dominant position had been violated.
Inspections are a preliminary stage in an investigation of suspected anti-competitive practices. The fact that the commission carries out such inspections does not mean that the enterprises concerned are guilty of anti-competitive behavior and does not prejudge the outcome of the investigation.
