10 Jun 2025 Novamont S.p.A., Eni S.p.A.AGCM fines Novamont and Eni €32.1m over exclusivity ties in bioplastics €32.1m
According to the AGCM, from at least January 2018 to December 2023 Novamont tied film producers to its bioplastic Mater-Bi through exclusive or semi-exclusive purchasing obligations and tied retail chains to carrier bags made by its licensees, thereby excluding competitors in bio-compounds for lightweight and very lightweight plastic carrier bags (Art. 102 TFEU). Novamont must pay 30,359,000 EUR (capped at the 10% turnover limit); for the period after its acquisition by the Eni group on 18 October 2023, Novamont and Eni are jointly and severally liable for a further 1,701,052.08 EUR, a total of 32,060,052.08 EUR.
A compliance programme must address the specific competition risks of the business, such as exclusivity clauses used by a strong supplier, or it will not reduce the fine.
Exclusivity clauses of dominant suppliers and effective compliance programmes
Missing or inadequate training played a role in the decision.

- Mitigating circumstances
- None recognised: the compliance programme of the Eni group, which Novamont joined in October 2023, had not worked effectively because training and controls covered other topics and exclusive contracts continued to be concluded; the AGCM considered Novamont's earlier programme manifestly inadequate, partly because its competition law manual did not specifically address exclusive purchasing obligations among the forms of abuse.
