  "bluf": "This landmark Commission Decision under Article 85 of the EEC Treaty (now Article 101 TFEU) strictly prohibits cartel arrangements, price-fixing, and the division of markets. Specifically addressing the MELDOC dairy cartel, the ruling penalizes collusive agreements that restrict competition or artificially influence trade between Member States. It mandates strict antitrust governance, prohibiting competitors from sharing sensitive pricing data, establishing joint sales quotas, or engaging in coordinated actions intended to freeze out foreign competition or control domestic market shares.",
