Yamaha,Korg和Roland等涉嫌联合操纵市场价格英国政府调查开启

面包

MIDIFAN报道：来自英国卫报及多家媒体的消息，吉他制造商Fender和四家键盘制造商Yamaha、Korg、Casio、Roland在今年四月就受到了来自英国竞争和市场管理局针对他们涉嫌联合操纵市场价格的调查。不过目前还在初步的非正式的证据收集阶段，还没有任何一家公司受到罚款或处罚。卫报称四月的调查来自于德国方面的指控。据说英国竞争和市场管理局还对14家英国的琴行提供他们跟这5家公司谈判和接触的细节，以便找到证据。不过琴行并非是调查对象，他们只是需要提供一些证据。
来自乐器圈的八卦说，有人看到多达10个英国竞争和市场管理局的政府工作人员访问了这些公司位于英国的公司，花了四天进行调查，并拿走了一些材料。
目前还很难说结果如何，不过如果真有多家公司违反了政策，被抓住联合操纵市场价格的证据的话，等待着他们的将是拿出10%的全球利润作为罚款的惩罚，公司高管将会被取消15年从业资格且有可能遭受最高5年的牢狱之灾。
作为回应，MIA乐器协会再次呼吁所有的供应商、零售商不要接受来自别家按照协商好的固定价格出售产品的提议。




关于英国卫报：Guardian

《卫报》（The Guardian）是英国的全国性综合内容日报。创刊于1821年，因总部设于曼彻斯特而称为《曼彻斯特卫报》。1855年改为日报。1872年起，斯科特主持编务，将报纸变得高雅生动，奠定了该报成为全国性高级报纸的基础。1959年更名为《卫报》，成为英国第二大高级报纸。总部于1964年迁至首都伦敦，不过于曼城和伦敦均设有印刷设施。一般公众视《卫报》的政治观点为中间偏左，卫报受到重视的领域包括世界主义观点、文艺报道和评论、外国通讯。与泰晤士报、每日电讯报同为英国三个著名的高级报纸。

Guitar maker Fender among firms raided in price-fix probe

The world-famous guitar maker Fender and four leading keyboard manufacturers are at the centre of a price fixing investigation after “dawn raids” were carried out at their British offices.

In total, four keyboard companies and the American guitar giant were targeted by staff from the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).

Although the companies have not been officially named, The Sunday Telegraph understands they include Yamaha, one of the biggest musical instrument manufacturers in the world, Roland, Korg, Casio and Fender.

The CMA website states that five separate “initial investigations” have been launched into “suspected breaches of competition law by various parties”. It adds that inquiries “relate to alleged anti-competitive agreements and/or concerted practices in relation to musical instruments and equipment”, adding that it is focusing on “suspected anti-competitive agreements”.

The investigations all began in April, when CMA officers arrived unannounced at the five offices. Its officers can enter a business without needing a warrant and demand documents.

However, the CMA stresses that the investigations are “at an early stage and no assumptions should be made that competition law has been infringed”.


Fender has been a household name since its iconic Stratocaster was the instrument of choice for guitar heroes including Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, David Gilmour and Eric Clapton. The instrument was designed in the US in 1954 by Leo Fender.

Yamaha, established in 1887, produces high end electric guitars, pianos, synthesizers, drums and stringed instruments.

Roland makes keyboards used by top musicians including the Brockett Parsons who performs with Lady Gaga. Korg is also a famous keyboard manufacturer with the likes of British pianist Rick Wakeman, who played with Yes, and Gary Barlow, from Take That, using their gear.

While it is not clear what triggered the investigations, one music industry insider said it may be linked to a complaint from Germany.

大概我猜就是这样：

每个国家法律可能不一样，有些地方规定你这个产品的利润不能高过百分之多少多少，如果超过就是方法。

意思就是，不是你想卖多少钱，就可以卖多少钱，要按照规定和根据等等，这些有法律相关监督。
