６社に３．９億円課徴金命令　名古屋市給食で談合―公取委

　名古屋市発注の公立中学校向け給食事業の入札で談合したとして、公正取引委員会は２２日、独禁法違反（不当な取引制限）で、「日本ゼネラルフード」（ＮＧＦ、名古屋市）など６社に計約３億９０００万円の課徴金納付を命じた。再発防止などを求める排除措置も命じた。学校給食を巡る談合事件で業者への命令は初めて。
　他に対象となったのは「魚国総本社」（大阪市）や「葉隠勇進」（東京都港区）など。公取委の立ち入り検査を受けた「コンパスグループ・ジャパン」（同中央区）は課徴金減免制度に基づき、違反を自主申告しており処分を免れた。ＮＧＦと葉隠勇進、「松浦商店」（名古屋市）の３社も同制度が適用され、課徴金額はそれぞれ３０％減免された。（2024/05/22-16:48）

Japan's Fair Trade Commission on Wednesday ordered six companies to pay 390 million yen in fines for allegedly rigging bids for lunch services for public schools in Nagoya, central Japan.
   The antitrust watchdog also ordered the six, including Nippon General Food of Nagoya and Uokuni Food Services Co. of Osaka, western Japan, to take corrective actions including measures to prevent any recurrence.
   Such orders were issued to school meal service providers for the first time.
   Compass Group Japan Inc., inspected on site by the FTC over the bid-rigging, was exempted from penalties under the leniency program as it had reported violations voluntarily. Three of the six companies, including Nippon General Food, had their fines reduced by 30 pct.
   Nippon General Food and others allegedly prearranged bidding prices at least from around February 2017 in order to allow specific service providers to win tenders for school food services in Nagoya in violation of the antimonopoly law.
