The general rapporteur of the Competition Council announced on Wednesday that it has notified grievances to a company questioned for anti -competitive practices at the market for digital control and meal delivery platforms, both at national and local level.
Carried out in accordance with the provisions of article 29 of law 104.12 relating to the freedom of prices and competition as modified and supplemented, the notification of the grievances addressed to the party questioned within this framework, opens the contradictory procedure and guarantees the exercise of the rights of the defense of the said part, indicates a press release of the general rapporteur of the competition council.
The same source recalls that, within the framework of the exercise of its missions and attributions provided for by the Constitution, law 20.13 relating to the Competition Council, as well as law 104.12 relating to freedom of prices and competition, such as modified and supplemented, aimed at the regulation of competition on the markets and the protection of consumer interests, the Competition Council was granted automatically by decision 20/D/2024 2024 and opened an instruction in order to verify the existence of alleged anti -competitive practices on the market for digital control and meal delivery platforms, both at national and local level.
The acts of investigation and investigation carried out revealed the existence of anti -competitive practices implemented by Glovo, an active company in the market for digital control and meal delivery platforms. These practices concern the abusive exploitation by said company of its dominant position on the aforementioned market, the abusive exploitation of economic dependence in which its trade partners are found, and the existence of abusive price practices.
“Finally, it should be noted that the notification of the grievances sent by the investigative and investigation services, cannot prejudge the final decision of the Council. Indeed, only the college of the Competition Council can, after an investigation carried out in a contradictory manner in compliance with the rights of defense of the party concerned and after the holding of a meeting of the Council, to rule on the merits of the grievances in question, “concluded the press release.
