The European Commission confirmed that it had conducted unannounced inspections on 23 October 2017 at car manufacturers in Germany. The inspections were conducted as the European Commission had concerns that such undertakings might have infringed Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU. The inspections follow another inspection in one of the car manufacturers in Germany carried out on 20 October. The press releases about both inspections are available via http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_STATEMENT-17-4084_en.htm and http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_STATEMENT-17-4103_en.htm respectively.
