On December 7, 2022, the Federal Economic Competition Commission (“Cofece”) published in the Official Gazette of the Federation, the Agreement by which it initiates the investigation in the markets for the distribution and commercialization of flat glass and products manufactured from flat glass in Mexican territory (the “Market”), in order to determine the possible existence of barriers to competition and free competition and/or essential inputs that may generate anticompetitive effects.

Based on the information contained in the investigation file, there are elements that suggest that there are no conditions of effective competition in the Market. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the proceeding should not be understood as a prejudgment, and only if there are sufficient elements to support the possible existence of restrictions to the efficient functioning of the Market, Cofece will proceed in accordance with the Federal Antitrust Law.
