EU antitrust regulators on Tuesday raided several companies and an association in the fragrance sector on concerns of a cartel in the supply of fragrances and fragrance ingredients while its UK counterpart also said it was investigating similar possible anti-competitive practices. The European Commission did not name the companies, the association or the European Union countries where the dawn raids occurred in line with its usual policy. It said the fragrances are used in consumer products such as household and personal care products.
