The Finnish Com­pe­ti­tion and Con­sumer Au­thor­ity (FCCA) has con­ducted in­spec­tions at the premises of cer­tain com­pa­nies op­er­at­ing in the as­phalt mar­ket. The FCCA is in­ves­ti­gat­ing whether the com­pa­nies have en­gaged in pro­hib­ited co­op­er­a­tion be­tween com­pa­nies in the as­phalt mar­ket.


The inspection carried out under the Competition Act is an investigative measure taken by the authority. The inspection is not an indication that the company being inspected has committed illegal activities.


The FCCA will issue its decision on the legality of the companies’ practices later, after the inspections and other investigations related to the matter are completed. The authority does not comment on the investigation while it is ongoing.

FCCA Launches Investigation into Asphalt Market Practices

The Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority (FCCA) has initiated an investigation into the asphalt market, conducting inspections at various companies involved in this sector. The focus of the investigation is to determine whether these companies have engaged in prohibited cooperation, which could violate competition laws.

 These inspections are part of the FCCA's enforcement of the Competition Act and serve as a preliminary investigative measure. It is important to note that the inspections do not imply that the companies involved have committed any illegal activities; rather, they are a standard procedure in assessing compliance with competition regulations.

 Following the completion of the inspections and any additional investigations, the FCCA will make a decision regarding the legality of the practices observed. Until the investigation concludes, the authority has stated that it will not provide further comments on the matter.
