According to Reuters，Dutch competition authority ACM Said Wednesday，Electronics maker Samsung was fined for manipulating prices in the Netherlands 4000 Million euros（about 3.01 RMB 100 million）。
The market regulator said，these years，Samsung pushed up the price of its TV sets in the Netherlands，If the retailer's selling price is lower than Samsung's preferred market price，He kept urging them to raise prices。
ACM say，This undermines competition among the seven largest online electronics stores in the Netherlands，Because Samsung made it clear to all relevant retailers，Their competitors will also follow their pricing policies。
Documents obtained by regulators show，If a retailer's competitors complain that TV is too cheap，Samsung will also help them。
“Samsung's proposal is not individual，It's not without consequences，”The oversight body said，“Its behavior distorts competition，Increased consumer prices。”
according to the understanding of，Samsung said，The fine will be appealed，Because it insists that it has never forced retailers to use its price recommendations，Stores are always free to decide their own strategy。But regulators say，Samsung should know that the way it affects prices is far beyond normal guidance，In fact, it is a way to determine the price of its TV market structurally。
