Ambulance company fined for participating in an anticompetitive agreement

Following an investigation conducted by the Directorate General for Competition Policy, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control (DGCCRF) into the medical transport contracts of Val d'Ariège and Pays d'Olmes hospitals, several companies that had participated in an anticompetitive agreement accepted the settlement proposed by the DGCCRF. As Ambulances Sannac refused to settle, the DGCCRF forwarded the case file concerning it to the Autorité de la concurrence, pursuant to Article L. 464-9 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce).

In light of all these details, the Autorité handed out a €32,600 fine on Sannac and its parent company Mafanel.
