IT companies accused of breaking competition rules
The case will soon be submitted to the Competition and Consumers Protection Office (UOKiK). If the accusation is proven, fines of up to 10% of the firms' revenues are likely. The three accused companies deny the allegations. The case relates to the distribution of Samsung branded laser printers which were up till now sold by ABC Data, Tech Data and AB. Following the signing of distribution deal between Samsung and Wrocław-based Incom, the remaining three companies have allegedly halted their purchases from the supplier, until the contract with Incom would be resolved.
