Investigating The Food Sector

Last year, the Hungarian Competition Authority ("GVH") commenced a series of consultations to identify the markets most impacted by competition law violations and to raise awareness among businesses of its significance. The main reasons were to: explore the causes behind the high inflation of food prices, analyse price increases which may violate competition law, and address market issues or imbalances with any available legal solutions.

These consultations aim to map the domestic market by calling on market players affected by price rises and their representative associations to consult each other.
