The European Commission should investigate possible Europe-wide cartels in the telecoms sector, PvdA MEP Judith Merkies said on Friday.

Merkies has written to the Commission asking if it has information about other telecoms cartels.
Earlier this week, the Dutch competition authority NMa raided the offices of KPN, T-Mobile and Vodafone in connection with price fixing for mobile internet.
‘These companies all operate in other European countries so it would be beneficial if the European Commission would instigate a European investigation,’ Merkies said.
Her call is supported by German MEPs, news agency ANP said.
