Summary

What changed
The Autorité de la concurrence, with judicial authorization, executed an unannounced inspection on February 17, 2026, at the premises of a company within the private passenger transport sector. This inspection is a preliminary step in an investigation into suspected anticompetitive practices and does not constitute a judgment of guilt, which can only be determined after a full investigation.

While no specific compliance actions are mandated by this press release, companies should ensure their business practices adhere to competition laws to avoid potential scrutiny and subsequent investigations. The Autorité de la concurrence has stated it will not comment further on this specific case.
What to do next
