The Czech Anti-Monopoly Office (UOHS) has fined CZK2.3 million the Czech brewer, Plzensky Prazdroj, over contracts with restaurants involving minimum annual beer purchases. “The contracts in question were against the consumer interest because they prevented the supply of other products at different prices,” said Josef Bednar, the director of the UOHS. Meanwhile Prazdroj spokesman, Alexej Bechtin, said the company, which is part of SABMiller since 1999, did not agree with the ruling and would appeal immediately.
In 1998, Prazdroj was fined by the UOHS for enforcing exclusive beer supply contracts.
