The Supreme Court of Justice upheld the decision of the Appeals Court by which RED Union Fenosa was fined  over 186,000 lei for violating the legislation on competition. The money will be transferred to the state budget, IPN reports.

The Competition Council said the decision to impose the fine was taken after the Council filed a lawsuit against RED Union Fenosa, accusing it of taking a dominant position on the market.

Earlier, the Competition Council ascertained that Red Union Fenosa, using the dominant position on the market, imposed unjustified demands concerning the installation of electric power meters on consumers. Consequently, the consumers were unable to choose a meter according to the ‘price-quality’ principle.
