Tipos superiores OFT na ponta de prova do price-fixing

O que você não é suposto saber

pricefix.jpgPor James Salão e Richard Fletcher? | Aproximadamente 100 tipos principais da casa, including pontas da PÁGINA, Coca-Cola e Aquafresh, estão no centro de uma investigação em allegations do price-fixing, o telégrafo diário podem divulgar.

São incluídos em uma lista da batida de produtos e de arti'culos de tocador do mantimento redigida por investigators do escritório de negociar justo, que funciona a cinco folhas do papel A4.

O papel de toalete de Andrex, Anadin extra, Cadbury destaca e o pão de Warburtons é entre as dúzias de artigos diários.

Diversos supermarkets principais - including Tesco, Asda, Morrisons e Sainsbury - eram última semana invadida OFT por investigators e por advogados entre a suspeita que os varejistas conspired reparar o preço de produtos da casa.

Algumas das multinacionais as maiores são envolvidas também OFT na investigação.

Os fornecedores - including proprietário Kimberly-Clark dos E.U. de Procter & de Gamble, de Coca-Cola, de GlaxoSmithKline, de alavanca de seleção e de Andrex - foram ditos para fornecer a informação fixando o preço aos investigators. Alguns encontraram culpado poderiam ser multados até 10 por cento de suas vendas anuais, que seriam centenas dos milhões das libras.

Poder-se-ia também significar que os consumidores tinham pagado a centenas dos milhões das libras mais por seu shopping do que devem ter numa altura em que a inflação do preço de alimento aumentou já a conta anual do shopping da família média perto quase? 800.

O consumidor agrupa o medo que os supermarkets e seus fornecedores fizeram exame da vantagem do crescimento recente em custos globais do alimento para inflar seus preços.

Que a sugestão será do interesse particular aos milhões das casas que se esforçam não somente com as contas ràpidamente se levantando do mantimento - mas custos também aumentados do mortgage e de energia.

Philip Cullum, o executivo principal ativo do conselho de consumidor nacional, o cão de guarda do consumidor do governo, dito: Os “consumidores gastam muitos milhões das libras nestes artigos diários e os clientes serão alarmados para ver que OFT está investigando o relacionamento entre algumas das mais melhores companhias sabidas do país.

“O NCC está prestando atenção OFT à investigação com interesse grande.”

Os fornecedores e os varejistas foram dados até junho para fornecer OFT com a informação que fixando o preço pediram.

Há também umas sugestões que o cão de guarda apreendeu email entre varejistas e fornecedores. Acredita-se que alguns fornecedores na lista da batida têm ser contatados ainda OFT pelo.

The disclosure that the pricing of some of Britain’s most popular brands is being examined demonstrates just how wide-ranging the regulator’s new investigation is.

It is also running a separate investigation into price-fixing allegations surrounding dairy products and cigarettes.

John Bridgeman, a former OFT director general, said: “Supermarkets account for a huge amount of consumer expenditure. It is a ?100 billion sector of the economy.

“There is no smoke without fire. The OFT is not going to go big on this unless it has something to go on.”

MySupermarket.co.uk, the comparison website, said supermarkets sell commonly-purchased goods at almost identical prices to each other.

At the same time, prices have risen substantially. Research by The Grocer magazine showed that a trolley-load of 150 items costs ?241.50, a ?10 increase on last year.

Prices in supermarkets have risen by 5.5 per cent since last April, according to official government data. For example, a 250g packet of mild cheddar cheese has gone up 17 per cent while a 500g packet of dried spaghetti has increased by 51 per cent.

The price of butter has risen by more than 50 per cent.

However, some health and beauty products are cheaper. The Grocer estimates that Fairy Liquid, made by Procter & Gamble, now costs 7 per cent less.

Other brands understood to be on the OFT list include Colgate Total toothpaste and Dove Moisturiser.

Biscuits manufactured by Northern Foods, one of the largest food producers and a major supplier to Marks & Spencer, are also there.

All the supermarkets and food manufacturers involved have vehemently denied any wrongdoing.

Senior retailers have dismissed the OFT’s latest probe as a “fishing expedition” and have reacted angrily to what they see as yet another high-profile OFT probe.

Shares in Tesco, Sainsbury and Morrison fell on news of the OFT investigation.

Its allegations contrast with the findings of the Competition Commission which will publish the results of its study of the grocery sector tomorrow.

    The OFT would not have gone public with this if there were not a grain of truth in this . We are struggling in the UK as inflation is rising the fastest that it has done since the early 1990s according to some reports and living in the UK myself i can say that i have seen my food shopping rise significantly in the past 6 months . This is just another way of the MULTI-NATIONAL CORPORATIONS of taking advantage of the ordinary man and woman on the street , if its not the GOVERNMENT screwing us into the ground with thier taxes its the MEGA-CORPS that have an almost perfect monopoly on us , and in some ways its our own fault as we continue to pay these ridiculous prices that the MEGA-CORPS impose on us . Its about time that we realised that as consumers that we have POWER and we should use that POWER by not buying overpriced big named brands , would it realy kill us if we did not buy the big brand names and instead went for the cheaper alternative . The big brands would soon realise the message in fact the only language that they understand e.g. MONEY and PROFITS! . They would soon understand that message FAST and the prices would eventualy be greatly reduced . We have POWER and its about time we used it! .

    Boycotting is the best solution but unfortunately the Brits are too thick to understand this, they seem only too happy for their Government to piss all over them without so much as a squeek… The word I’m looking for is SPINELESS
