"Companies can be sanctioned for employees' mistakes in competition matters".

Companies should be aware that they can be sanctioned for any prohibited anti-competitive activity carried out by their employees and that the fines can be up to 10% of their sales figures of the previous year.

He pointed out that "we have to be very careful because non-compliance with competition legislation, which is supervised by the National Markets and Competition Commission, can be costly and have a high reputational cost".
