21.5.13 Asevi Avoids Fine for Grape Price "Fixing"

The fine of 300,000 euros imposed on the growers association by the Comision Nacional de Competencia (CNC - or Office of Fair Trading) for alleged price fixing has finally been quashed. Growers' representatives have received the notification from the High Court, which is in line with its more lenient (and sensible) treatment of other sectors of the Sherry trade.
