Nine memory makers fined آ€331 million :: Posted by THRASHER2
Nine memory makers fined آ€331 million for price fixing scheme
The European Commission, the long arm of the EU, has today announced fines totaling 331,273,800 Euro or about $407.19 million for memory manufacturers Samsung, Hynix, Infineon, NEC, Hitachi, Mitsubishi, Toshiba, Elpida and Nanya, for their participation in a DRAM price fixing cartel.
Micron is the tenth company found guilty of involvement but, because it was the one that came forward to expose the carter, it was granted full immunity from fines.
According to the EC the firms mentioned have coordinated the price levels of DRAM memory sold to OEMs in European Economic Area since July 1st 1998 and June 15, 2002, this being in violation of the EU Treaty which bans practices restrictive of competition. How can there be competition if the players agree on the score
"This first settlement decision is another milestone in the Commission's anti-cartel enforcement. By acknowledging their participation in a cartel the companies have allowed the Commission to bring this long-running investigation to a close and to free up resources to investigate other suspected cartels. As the procedure is applied to new cases it is expected to speed up investigations significantly, said Commission Vice President and Competition Commissioner Joaquأn Almunia.
According to the data supplied by the Commission, Samsung received the largest fine - آ€145.7 million, followed by Infineon (آ€56.7 million) and Hynix (آ€51.4 million).
