The Turkish Competition Authority (“TCA”) has concluded its investigation under Articles 4 and 6 of Act No. 4054 on the Protection of Competition concerning Coca-Cola Satış ve Dağıtım AŞ (“CCSD”) by accepting binding commitments offered by the undertaking in response to concerns regarding exclusivity practices and discount schemes potentially foreclosing competitors.
Based on the preliminary findings, the TCA assessed that CCSD’s practices relating to cooler access restrictions, incentive mechanisms, and investment support schemes may hinder competitors’ access to the market and could constitute an abuse of dominance. The investigation was therefore concluded under the commitment mechanism.
