In October 2015, the Bucharest Court of Appeals awarded damages in a follow-on action for the first time.

Background

In December 2010, the Romanian Competition Council ("RCC") sanctioned the Romanian Post with a fine of EUR24.06 million for abuse of dominant position. The Romanian Post was found to favor one of its clients, I___ G___ SRL ("IG") in relation to standard postal services for advertising mail between 2005 and 2009. In addition, the RCC considered that the Romanian Post granted discriminatory rebates (IG being one of the companies that benefited from favourable rebates). After being escalated through the appeal instances the High Court of Cassation and Justice upheld the decision in April 2015.
