The Greek Competition Authority will convene on October 23, 2025, to assess whether Skroutz, an online price comparison platform, has violated national and EU competition laws regarding the abuse of its dominant position.

This case arises from complaints filed by ten businesses against Skroutz, focusing on the terms of cooperation imposed on business users of its platform, www.skroutz.gr. The report suggests that some of these terms may constitute exploitative abuse of Skroutz's dominant market position by enforcing unreasonable trading conditions.

The alleged violations span from 2020 to the present, with the report indicating that the imposed terms are unnecessary, disproportionate, and detrimental to both the platform's business partners and consumers.

As a result, the report recommends that the authority confirm the violations of Article 2 of Law 3959/2011 and Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). It also suggests imposing a fine on Skroutz, considering the severity and duration of the violations, and requiring the company to cease the identified practices.

Furthermore, Skroutz could face additional fines if it continues or repeats the identified violations after the authority's decision. However, the recommendation is not binding, and the Competition Authority will make its final decision based on the evidence and the parties' views.
