Abstract: Abstract Throughout the course of the 1980s, the European cement industry was confronted with the threat of globalisation. It was in this context that the EC Commission decided to intervene. From April 1989 to July 1990, it began investigating, and requesting information on, the competitive behaviour of European cement producers, and carried out searches at the headquarters of European cement companies and the European cement trade associations. The case was by far the biggest ever initiated by the Commission. Overall, 76 cement companies and trade associations were involved. The markets covered by the case were those of the Member States of the EEC, plus those of three other countries, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland. The legal charges were extremely grave (EEC, 1994).1
