@mobilevikingsBE quick question, why when using the Viking deals hotels in Agoda are more expensive and then when browsing in another browser the same room for the same date, the same webpage is cheaper? Are you scamming us, consumers? Should we tell the authorities?

@StefVanRompaey I have read some of your articles on why things are so expensive in Belgium. I am also very much concerned, as a competition lawyer that recently moved to the country. Let's have a chat one day! Cheers

@bpost_fr Why are your standard letter to Europe prices so excesively expensive? Might be that you are abusing your dominant position, perhaps?

@nicholashirst_ There are some interesting things in relation to someone arriving on a bike to an event, but in reality by car and just riding the bike 100 meters before the venue, also arriving by private jet to the city...

The European Parliament bun-fight over @Teresaribera is laid bare in the annexes to MEPs’ evaluation.
EPP wants her gone if legal “proceedings” are brought against her in Spain over the floods. Greens shocked by EPP politicking.

And a win for the EC.
Having lost an earlier case against Qualcomm, EC wins this one.

@lewis_crofts what do you think about the nomination of Teresa Ribera for DG Comp, good or mad news for the comp law world?

@DelhaizeBelgium I haven't forgotten about you, I have more price comparisons between France and Belgium that might catch the attention of @EU_Competition and or the Belgian Competition Authority ;)

Friday afternoon comment: Reading the draft Guidelines on art 102 one could be mislead to think that the new "Holy Grail" of case law on exclusionary abuses is the judgement under "Servizio Elettrico Nazionale".
It might be worth another Friday read ;).

For watchers of @Google and dominance abuse in general.
EU court advisor says Google's refusal to allow an EV-charging app into Android Auto could break the law.
But you can't look at the platform in the same way as you would heavy-duty infrastructure. Like a port. /1

Excellent piece by @bbc about how @LiveNation has its fingers in all sorts of business related to events: ticket sales, promotions, security, merchandise etc.
Good case study for @CMAgovUK bbc.com/news/articles/…

.@vestager responds to the court defeat in Illumina/Grail today.
She notes:
- EC will continue to accept Art 22 referrals (when NCAs have jurisdiction)
- Some NCAs have in the meantime developed call-in powers & so great chances to review such deals

@DelhaizeNL @DelhaizeBelgium @EU_Competition Please inform yourselves with the Modelez, Beer and beverages competition cases whereby excessive prices where punished, if not you it might be that your suppliers are infringing competition laws...
English

@JNOtegui @DelhaizeBelgium @EU_Competition Hello, though goods move freely across Europe, prices vary due to transport and warehousing costs, VAT rules, local legislation, and local competition strategies. At Delhaize, we follow Belgian market prices to ensure fair, competitive pricing. Learn more: gondola.be/nl/news/boodsc…

@DelhaizeBelgium Quick question, why Pulco in France is EUR 2,45 at Carrefour and at yours 6,45? carrefour.fr/p/boisson-conc…
There are many products that here in Belgium are excessively expensive and you cross the border to FR, DE, LX and are 2 times cheaper?
@EU_Competition
English

@DelhaizeNL @DelhaizeBelgium @EU_Competition Thanks, VAT in France is only 1% less, social security contributions more or less similar, distribution can take place directly from France since we live in a single market. Local competition strategy: Charging us more than average you mean? It does not hold up.
