En virksomhed, der pålægges en bøde for overtrædelse af artikel 101 i Traktaten om Den Europæiske Unions Funktionsmåde (”TEUF”), bør selv bære den økonomiske byrde. Virksomheden bør derfor ikke kunne kræve bødebeløbet erstattet af det ledelsesmedlem, der har medvirket til overtrædelsen.

En virksomhed, der pålægges en bøde for overtrædelse af artikel 101 i Traktaten om Den Europæiske Unions Funktionsmåde (”TEUF”), bør selv bære den økonomiske byrde. Virksomheden bør derfor ikke kunne kræve bødebeløbet erstattet af det ledelsesmedlem, der har medvirket til overtrædelsen.

Det er konklusionen i et nyt forslag til afgørelse fra generaladvokat M. Szpunar ved EU-Domstolen i sag C-347/25.

Sagens baggrund

Sagen udspringer af et tysk priskartel mellem producenter af rustfrit stål. En tidligere direktør havde på vegne af en af karteldeltagerne deltaget i overtrædelsen.

Energi & Infrastruktur | Nyhedsbrev | September 2026

Denmark's electricity grid faces a critical connection crisis as insufficient capacity struggles to meet surging demands from batteries, data centers, power-to-X facilities, electric vehicle charging, and industrial electrification. The Danish Parliament is currently addressing this challenge by amending the Electricity Supply Act, moving away from the "first-come-first-served" principle toward a more politically prioritized approach to grid connection requests.
