Belgian Competition Authority has made binding commitments by Raffinerie Tirlemontoise and its parent company Südzucker regarding the procurement of sugar beet and adopted its first decision regarding abuse of economic dependence.

The Belgian Competition Authority is an independent administrative authority that contributes to the definition and implementation of competition policy in Belgium, by pursuing anticompetitive practices and reviewing the main merger operations. The BCA collaborates with the competition authorities of the other Member States of the European Union and with the European Commission within the framework of the European Competition Network (ECN).
