Several German liquefied natural gas (LNG) companies are planning to appeal a Euro 208 million fine imposed by the German Federal Cartel Office for illegal agreements not to acquire each other's clients, according to Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung.
"The Cartel Office's accusations are not true," said Dortmund Progas GmbH head Wolfgang Macholz, according to the newspaper. "A court will confirm that." Krefeld, Germany-based Primagas also plans to appeal the fine, WAZ said.
The cartel office fined seven companies that supply retail and corporate customers with natural gas in small tanks and bottles.
The companies are Drachen-Propangas GmbH, Friedrich Scharr KG, Progas GmbH & Co KG, Primagas GmbH, Sano-Propan GmbH, Tyczka Enerige KGaA and Tyczka Totalgaz GmbH.
