Egypt’s Competition Authority Refers 11 Suez Ports Cooperative Members to Prosecutors

Egypt’s Competition Protection and Anti-Monopoly Authority has referred 11 members of a cooperative operating at Suez ports to the Public Prosecution over a competition violation.

The authority’s board determined that the members had committed a violation. The decision concerns individuals belonging to the Productive Cooperative Association for Loading, Unloading, Transport and Container Handling at Suez Ports.

The cooperative’s activities cover cargo handling and transport services at the ports. The referral identifies 11 of its members, rather than the association as a whole.

The available announcement did not identify the members or specify the conduct behind the violation. It also provided no details on subsequent prosecutorial action.
