EU antitrust regulators raid companies, association in fragrance sector

EU antitrust regulators on Tuesday raided several companies and an association in the fragrance sector in some EU countries on concerns of possible collusion in the supply of fragrances and fragrance ingredients.

The European Commission did not name the companies, the association or the countries in line with its usual policy.

The EU competition enforcer said it had been in contact with the U.S. Department of Justice and competition agencies in Britain and Switzerland and that the raids were conducted in consultation with them.
