The European Commission (EC) has imposed a total of €74.8 million in fines on Sony, Fuji and Maxell for fixing the prices for professional videotapes sold to customers in Europe. Between 1999 and 2002, Sony, Fuji and Maxell managed to raise or otherwise control prices through a series of regular meetings and other illicit contacts. Sony was ordered to pay €47.2 million; Maxell was ordered to pay €14.4 million; Fuji was ordered to pay €13.2 million. Sony's fine was increased by 30% for obstructing the Commission's investigation during on-site inspections at its premises. Fuji's and Maxell's fines were reduced by 40% and 20% respectively because they co-operated with the investigation under the Commission's lenience policies. The cartel covered the two most popular professional videotape formats at the time: Betacam SP and Digital Betacam, which in 2001 totalled annual sales of some €115 million in the Europe. The Commission found that Sony, Fuji and Maxell, with a combined share of more than 85% of the professional video tape market, organised three successful rounds of price increases and endeavoured to stabilise prices whenever an increase was not possible. |

Les sites britanniques de vente par correspondance ont porté plainte contre Sony et plusieurs autres fabricants d'équipement électronique pour pratiques anti-concurrentielles. Ils les accusent de pratiquer une double tarification: les supermarchés "physiques", systématiquement plus chers que les sites internet et confrontés à une baisse de leurs ventes, auraient fait pression sur Sony pour obtenir que celui-ci vende plus cher aux sites internet. Selon les plaignants, Sony aurait accepté et se rendrait donc coupable de double tarification, une pratique anti-concurrentielle interdite car elle aboutit à une hausse des prix pour le consommateur final. |
