Ireland's motor industry gets antitrust warning
MLex: Ireland's motor industry may not prevent consumers from freely choosing where to service or repair their vehicles or what parts they use, the national competition authority said in a letter addressed to companies. The warning follows reports from motorists who said they were discouraged from using independent garages for servicing or repairs. The authority will monitor this issue closely and will take appropriate enforcement action if competition law is breached, antitrust director Craig Whelan said today.
