Finnish Competition Authority

The FCA protects sound and effective economic competition by intervening, where necessary, in restrictive practices, such as cartels and abuse of dominant position, violating the Act on Competition Restrictions (the Competition Act) and Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) forming the basis of competition policy. Competition restrictions are investigated both on the FCA’s own initiative and on the basis of complaints. Where necessary, the FCA makes proposals to the Market Court that it impose competition infringement fines on those in breach of the competition rules.
