Because the Guarantor sends a fine to the Italian Post Office
The Antitrust has fined the Italian Post Office for over 11 million euros for abuse of economic dependence. Here because. All the details
The Italian Antitrust Authority has fined Poste Italiane for over 11 million euros for abuse of economic dependence.
According to the Antitrust Authority, Poste Italiane has imposed unjustifiably burdensome clauses in the contracts signed in 2012 and 2013, and in force until June 2017, with Solutions Srl, a company that for many years has carried out, on behalf of Poste Italiane, the mail delivery and collection service in the city of Naples.
In particular, according to the Antitrust Authority, "the company has adopted a set of unjustifiably burdensome contractual conditions and has engaged in abusive conduct that has produced a substantial imbalance in the negotiation relationship with Solutions, forced, among other things, to bear the prohibition of transport and joint delivery of the products of Poste Italiane and those of third parties, as well as to allow Poste to reduce, at will, the minimum quantities and to change the type of products ".
Furthermore, the Guarantor points out in black and white , “Solutions was forced to perform additional services not provided for in the contract, however unpaid”. According to the Antitrust, therefore, "Poste Italiane has hindered the proper conduct of the competitive game in the reference market, because with its abusive conduct it has excluded an operator who could have either lent its business in favor of alternative postal operators or constituted a potential competitive constraint at the local level ".
