Statement from the publisher of the Viðskiptablaðið, Mylluseturs ehf., regarding the alleged misuse of a dominant market position by 365 miðla ehf.

The Competition Authority has today published decision no. 16/2013, concerning a complaint from the publisher of the Viðskiptablaðið newspaper, Myllusetur ehf., regarding the alleged abuse of a dominant position by 365 miðlar ehf. The decision concludes that there are considerable grounds to believe that 365 miðlar ehf., the publisher of Fréttablaðið, is dominant on the market for newspaper advertising in Iceland. However, it is concluded that the complainant's submission and the evidence gathered for the examination of the case do not provide indications of abuse of a dominant position that would warrant further investigation.
