Are the big breweries abusing their dominance over the small breweries?
The Association of Csíki Sör and Small Breweries responded to the authority’s draft report in a harsh open letter to the Economic Competition Authority, at the same time objecting that, in its opinion, large breweries are abusing their dominance over small breweries.
“The draft report of the sectoral investigation of the domestic catering market prepared by the Economic Competition Authority (GVH) is misleading, full of wrong conclusions and spectacularly turns a blind eye to the illegalities of EU importance that have permeated the entire Hungarian beer market in various ways for two decades, making draft beer unreasonably more expensive”
– the Index quotes the introduction of the open letter addressed to GVH written jointly by Csíki Sör and the Small Brewery Association (KSE).
In fact, this letter can be evaluated as a summary of the organization’s analysis, because in a voluminous document, the association scrutinized the claims of the competition office and formulated a professional position in response to them.
