Decision of the Competition Council of the Hungarian Competition Authority (Gazdasági Versenyhivatal - GVH) Vj-20/2006: Fővárosi Vízművek ZRt. (Metropolitan Water Public Utility)

The Competition Council of the Hungarian Competition Authority (Gazdasági Versenyhivatal - GVH) established in its decision, issued on 30 May 2006, that Fővárosi Vízművek, an undertaking responsible for the supply of water in Budapest, infringed the provisions on the prohibition of unfair manipulation of consumer choice of the Hungarian Competition Act.

In the competition supervision proceedings the Competition Council of the GVH concluded that the content of the advertisement of Fővárosi Vízművek, which stated that the water supplied by Fővárosi Vízművek "is one of the best in Europe" could not be proven objectively.

The Competition Council of the GVH established Fővárosi Vízművek`s unlawful behaviour was but did not impose any fine.
