Background on the eBooks investigation
In March 2011, the commission carried out unannounced inspections at the premises of several companies active in the eBook publishing sector in several EU Member States.
To date, the commission and the U.K. Office of Fair Trading (OFT) have investigated in parallel and in close cooperation whether arrangements for the sale of eBooks may breach competition rules. Before the commission opened formal proceedings, the OFT had closed its investigation on the grounds of administrative priority. The OFT has made a substantial contribution to the eBooks investigation and will continue to co-operate closely with the EU Commission going forward.
