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.
