The so-called 'Cartel of the Cars'<\/strong> was an illegal agreement between the vast majority of car manufacturers<\/strong> operating in Spain.<\/strong> Which manufacturers decided to carry out a strategy among all of them to fix the selling Price of cars<\/strong> sold in Spain between February 2006 and August 2013.<\/p>\n

The brands affeted by these events are: Alfa Romeo, Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Citro\u00ebn, Dodge, Fiat, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Jeep, KIA, Lancia, Lexus, Mercedes, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Seat, Skoda, Toyota, Volkswagen, Volvo.<\/p>\n

All this stems from the Ruling of the Competition Chamber<\/strong> of the Council of\u00a0 the National Commission for Markets and Competition<\/a>, when it issued a Resolution on file S\/0482\/13 of Car Manufacturers, concerning the car cartel operating in Spanish territory from 2006 to 2013.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

Types of commercially sensitive information<\/h4><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
\n
\n\t

The different types of commercially sensitive information exchanges<\/strong> highlight the implications for these information exchanges:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Exchanges of commercially sensitive information on comercial distribution strategy<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  2. The exchanges of commercially sensitive information on their after-sales services and activities<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  3. Exchanges of commercially sensitive information relating to the terms and conditions of current and future commercial policies and strategies with respect to after-sales marketing<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    \n
    \n\t

    The direct consequence of all this was a price increase<\/strong>, organised by all the above-mentioned manufacturers, thus preventing competition between them (in violation of the free market principle) and inflating prices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    \n
    \n\t

    This, as everyone knows, happened in our country during the economic crisis<\/strong> that hit us in 2008. <\/strong>While the Spanish economy was stagnant and demand for all products was at a low, car prices were oblivious to all this. The average car price increase during this period was 15% higher<\/strong> than it would have been if companies had been competing with each other in a real and effective way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
