Criticism
Price fixing in Europe
In 2018 Philips was fined US$11.9 million after being found guilty of intervening to prevent retailers in 12 European countries from selling its products below its recommended resale prices. Aside from price fixing, the company also rejected orders from retailers who wanted to sell across borders within the EU, thereby sustaining different pricing in different countries.
