The Competition Council emphasizes the importance of establishing the independence of trade policy. Artificially increasing prices may violate the Competition Law.

The Competition Council has issued an important warning for companies, emphasizing that each economic entity must independently establish its commercial policy. This includes setting prices, which must not be influenced by anti-competitive practices.

The authority has warned that artificially raising prices, as well as anticipating a certain price that should be practiced by companies, may fall under the provisions of the Competition Law. Thus, companies are encouraged to avoid any form of agreement or coordination that could affect competition in the market, ensuring that prices reflect economic reality and are not manipulated artificially. This position of the Council is essential for maintaining a healthy competitive environment that protects both consumers and companies from unfair practices.
