The Commission imposed fines totalling €2.5 million on the two main brewery groups in France on 29 September 2004. The two groups are being fined for having taken part in an agreement aimed at establishing equilibrium between their integrated beer distribution networks in the away-from-home sector (hotels, restaurants and cafés) France. The agreement was also aimed at limiting the acquisition costs of drinks wholesalers.
