AMSTERDAM: Electronics maker Samsung<\/a> has been fined 40 million euros ($46.9 million) for price fixing in the Netherlands<\/a>, Dutch competition watchdog ACM<\/a> said on Wednesday.

The market regulator said Samsung had pushed up the prices of its televisions in the Netherlands for years, by constantly urging retailers to raise their prices if they were selling them below Samsung's preferred market rate.

This practice undermined competition between seven of the largest online electronics stores in the Netherlands, the ACM said, as Samsung made it clear to all retailers involved that their competitors would also follow its pricing policy.

Samsung also reached out to retailers if their competitors complained about TVs being sold too cheap, documents obtained by the regulator showed.

\"Samsung's advice was not individual and not without consequences,\" the watchdog said. \"Its behaviour distorted competition and raised prices for consumers.\"

Samsung said it would appeal the fine, as it maintained it had never forced retailers to use its price advice and that stores had always been free to determine their own strategy.

But the regulator said that Samsung should have known that its efforts to influence prices went far beyond normal guidance and was in fact a way to structurally determine the market prices of its televisions.

阿姆斯特丹:电子产品制造商三星被罚款4000万欧元(4690万美元)的价格操纵的荷兰、荷兰竞争监管机构ACM周三表示。

市场监管机构表示,三星已推高了电视机的价格在荷兰多年来,通过不断敦促零售商提高价格如果他们出售低于三星的首选市场利率。

这种做法破坏了七个最大的在线电子商店之间的竞争在荷兰,ACM说,三星所有零售商参与明确表示,他们的竞争对手也将遵循它的定价政策。

三星也伸出零售商如果竞争对手抱怨电视便宜出售,由监管机构获得的文件显示。

“三星的建议不是个人和不是没有后果,“监管机构说。“其行为扭曲的价格竞争和提高消费者。”

三星表示将会上诉罚款,因为它保持它从来没有强迫零售商使用价格建议和门店一直可以自由决定自己的策略。

但监管机构表示,三星应该知道,努力影响价格远远超出正常的指导和实际上是一种结构决定其电视机的市场价格。
