In July 2017 the Slovenian Competition Protection Agency initiated proceedings against Renault (which operates as RENAULT NISSAN SLOVENIJA doo). The company was suspected of treating authorised mechanics and independent mechanics differently, which gave the agency grounds to believe that Renault had abused its dominant position. In response, Renault proposed remedies in an attempt to address the agency’s concerns and eliminate the alleged anti-competitive effects on the market. In November 2017 the agency published Renault’s proposed commitments online and invited third parties to comment and make suggestions.
On 30 May 2018 the agency issued a decision closing the proceedings and accepting the commitments.
