The Court of First Instance in Luxembourg is currently hearing an appeal from 42 plaintiffs in the European cement industry (one regional association, eight national associations and 33 producers) against a European Commission decision of 1994 which accused them of infringements of Article 85 of the EC treaty involving, among other things, their participation from 1983 in an agreement designed to ensure non-transshipment to home markets and to regulate cement transfers from one country to another, the exchange of price information and the participation in bilateral or multilateral market-sharing agreements.
