Optimus accuses Dell of dumping practices

The Polish PC producer argues that Dell sells its computers in Poland at a price that is lower than their costs. Optimus has sent Dell a letter asking them to stop their dumping actions, and warned that they may take the case to the Office for Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) as well as to relevant EU departments. The issue was raised by Optimus after Dell won several tenders for the sale of computer equipment by offering almost 50% discounts. "Such allegations need to be backed up with real proof. We do not engage in dumping," said Roman Durka, Dell's president in Poland. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 4) D.W.
