25 Aug 2026 Kommunal Landspensjonskasse Gjensidig Forsikringsselskap (KLP)KLP: binding commitments after suspected abuse in municipal pensions Order
Konkurransetilsynet (Norwegian Competition Authority) made commitments offered by KLP binding and thereby closed its investigation into a possible abuse of a dominant position in public occupational pensions for municipalities. The authority was concerned that, from 2019, when a competitor entered the market, KLP had systematically discouraged municipalities from putting their occupational pension schemes out to tender; KLP now undertakes to refrain from such influence and to remedy the effects of its earlier practice. No infringement was conclusively established and no fine was imposed.
Dominant companies must not use close customer relationships to deter customers from running tenders – even a suspicion of this can lead to binding obligations.

24 Sep 2024 a Norwegian provider of emptying and flushing servicesEmptying and flushing services: acquisition of a regional competitor prohibited Order
Konkurransetilsynet (Norwegian Competition Authority) prohibited the acquisition of a regional competitor by the service provider because the merger would have significantly impeded competition in emptying and flushing services (including emptying septic tanks and separators and cleaning pipes and tanks) in the former county of Hordaland, where the two companies were each other's closest competitors. The Konkurranseklagenemnda (Competition Appeals Tribunal) rejected the provider's appeal on 31 January 2025 and upheld the prohibition.
Acquisitions of regional competitors in niche markets can also be prohibited if they remove the competitive pressure between close rivals.

21 Aug 2024 three Norwegian grocery chainsThree Norwegian grocery chains: NOK 4.93bn over price-hunter collaboration €421.7m
Konkurransetilsynet (Norwegian Competition Authority) fined Norway's three largest grocery chains a total of NOK 4,926,981,000: the first chain NOK 2,313,418,000, the second NOK 1,321,024,000, and the third chain and its parent company jointly and severally NOK 1,292,539,000. From January 2011 until at least April 2018, the chains had granted each other's price collectors ('prisjegere') extensive access to their stores, which increased price transparency between the competitors and weakened price competition; the authority also ordered the collaboration to end. The Konkurranseklagenemnda (Competition Appeals Tribunal) upheld the decision on 21 August 2025; according to the courts' official hearing list, Gulating lagmannsrett (Gulating Court of Appeal) will hear an action by the second chain challenging the validity of that ruling from 12 October 2026. The decision is not final.
Even seemingly harmless industry arrangements, such as mutual access for price collection, can amount to an anticompetitive exchange of information and trigger fines running into billions.
