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. |

Sony's German offices were raided as part of a European Union probe into suspected price-fixing of SRAM chips. SRAM chips, unlike DRAM memory chips, retain the contents of their memory as long as power remains applied, and are also faster than DRAM chips. They are used for fast memory access, for example in the central processing units of computers. |

Le Conseil de la concurrence sanctionne les fabricants Philips, Sony et Panasonic à hauteur de 34,4 millions d'euros pour avoir mis en place un système de prix de détail minimum imposés auprès de leurs distributeurs. Sony France est condamné à une amende de 16 millions d'euros.
Le Conseil de la concurrence a considéré qu'il existait des indices graves, précis et concordants démontrant l'existence d'une entente entre les fabricants Philips, Sony et Panasonic et leurs distributeurs respectifs et a notamment retenu à cet égard comme éléments probants :
* la communication de prix de détail « conseillés » aux grossistes et aux détaillants
* l'alignement constaté des prix de vente d'un certain nombre de produits chez l'ensemble des distributeurs des marques concernées (une même référence de téléviseur par exemple étant, à quelques exceptions près, au même prix dans tous les magasins)
* l'existence de mécanismes de surveillance et de contrôle des prix de détail (rappels à l'ordre téléphoniques de la part des fabricants ou des grossistes pour « faire remonter les prix », passage de représentants régionaux de la marque dans les points de vente, menaces de cessation de livraison ou de réduction des facilités financières octroyées)
* l'existence - en ce qui concerne Philips et Sony - de contrats de coopération entre leurs revendeurs, procurant aux fabricants le contrôle de leur politique de publicité et de leur politique de prix. |

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. |
