創科實業(00669.HK)涉操控轉售價格行為 遭澳洲罰款1,500萬澳元
阿思達克 12-01 11:24
澳洲競爭及消費者委員會(ACCC)表示,創科實業(00669.HK)承認對Milwaukee品牌產品(包括動工具、手動工具和配件)進行操控轉售價格(RPM)行為後,被聯邦法院下令支付總額1,500萬澳元的罰款,為澳洲就RPM案件的罰款額度紀錄中最高。 ACCC向法院表示,考慮到創科行為的嚴重性、持續時間和範圍,認為有關罰款程度適當。維持操控轉售價格是違法行為,不利於價格競爭,或意味著消費者支付的價格高於真正競爭的市場中的價格。 據此,創科承認在2016年1月至2021年7月期間,與零售商和經銷商簽訂合共97份協議,以限制Milwaukee產品的最低銷售價格。公司亦承認於2016年12月至2020年5月期間,在合約中執行29次限制性RPM條款,如向以低於指定最低價格出售或已售Milwaukee品牌產品的經銷商發出警告,或停止向兩個經銷商供貨。 此外,法院還下令創科在其網站及向經銷商發布糾正通知,實施合規計劃並支付ACCC的部分費用。
