欧盟拟向6家卡车制造商开出创纪录罚单

 The EU is set to issue the biggest cartel fine in its history, punishing Europe’s largest truckmakers over charges that they fixed¹ prices and delayed the introduction of new emission² technologies.

欧盟(EU)即将开出其历史上金额最高的反垄断罚单，以涉嫌操纵价格并推迟引入新的排放技术为由，对欧洲各大卡车制造商进行处罚。

Margrethe Vestager, EU competition commissioner³, issued the original charge sheet against DAF, Daimler, Iveco, Scania, MAN and Volvo/Renault in 2014. Four of those companies have now set aside provisions amounting to $2.6bn.

2014年，欧盟竞争事务专员玛格丽特?维斯特格(Margrethe Vestager)发布针对DAF卡车、戴姆勒(Daimler)、依维柯(Iveco)、斯堪尼亚(Scania)、曼卡车(MAN)以及沃尔沃/雷诺(Volvo/Renault)的指控单初稿。其中4家公司现在已为此拨备高达26亿美元的准备金。

People close to the discussions on penalties say that they are expecting the fine this year, possibly within weeks, unless there is a reversal by the European Commission.

据了解有关罚金讨论的人士称，他们预计今年会发出罚单，有可能在几周内——除非欧盟委员会(European Commission)改变态度。
