What is happening

What the sources report

The Competition Commission carried out surprise on-site inspections on 4 November 2026 at businesses in the table olive sector, as well as at a related business association.[1]

The companies operate in the procurement, processing, canning and trade of table olives.[2]

According to the announcement of the Commission, within the framework of an ex officio investigation, a possible agreement or concerted practice between competitors and/or a decision by an association of undertakings is being examined, in particular concerning the setting of the market price of products and other trading conditions.[3]

The investigation concerns a possible infringement of Article 1 of Law 3959/2011 and/or Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.[1]

The conduct of inspections does not prejudge whether the undertakings or associations have engaged in anti-competitive conduct, nor the outcome of the investigation.[4]

Where they differ

Newmoney.gr reports that the inspection took place on Wednesday, 4 November, while Oikonomikos Tachydromos simply writes "on 4 November" without reference to the day of the week.[4][3]
