The Commission proceedings focus on a possible agreement or concerted practice between E.ON and Gaz de France to keep out of each other’s home market, even after the liberalisation of the European gas markets. The agreement concerns in particular supplies of natural gas transported over the MEGAL pipeline, which is jointly owned by E.ON and Gaz de France and transports gas across Southern Germany between the German-Czech and German-Austrian borders on the one side and the French-German border on the other side.
The case arises out of an inspection carried out in 2006 on E.ON and Gaz de France premises in Germany and France.
