cement market

Romania’s Competition Council on Wednesday said it started an investigation into possible anticompetitive agreements on the local cement manufacturing and sale market between the companies Holcim (Romania) SA, CRH Ciment (Romania) SA and Heidelbergcement Romania SA.

Romania’s cement market fell 30% in 2009, to 8 million tons, and is seen further down in 2010, the executive head of cement business owners association CIROM said Thursday.
