Rekordteuerung und mögliche Preisabsprachen - beantwortet durch 4025/AB-BR/2025

This procedure involves a parliamentary inquiry into the causes of record-high inflation and the possibility of illegal price-fixing agreements. It seeks to determine whether companies have artificially inflated prices for goods and services, particularly in the food and industrial sectors, rather than simply passing on increased production costs. The investigation primarily affects businesses and companies across the trade, industry, and food sectors. Consumers may benefit from potential regulatory actions or policy changes aimed at ensuring fair competition and stabilizing prices.
