2008

The European Commission has imposed a total fine of 131.5 million euros in five companies accused of price fixing of marine hoses used to fill the tanks of crude oil tankers. The cartel between the Japanese Bridgestone (ordered to pay 58.5 million euros), the Anglo-German Dunlop Oil and Marine (18 million), the Swedish Trelleborg (24.5 million), and Italians Parker ITR ( 25.6 million) and Manuli (4.9 million) lasted from 1986 to 2007. Yokohama Japan, who participated to the cartel but has denounced it the European Commission, has avoided the penalty.

2008

Bridgestone discovered unjustified payments to foreign people while investigating its rubber hose division for cartel. "Undue payments to foreign agents were discovered in an internal survey carried out by external legal advisers", explained Bridgestone in an official statement. These facts "constitute a serious violation of our rules" and "it is possible that these acts contravene the Japanese law and other jurisdictions", underlined Bridgestone. :
