Brussels The EU competition watchdogs have searched the offices of the food delivery service Delivery Hero in Berlin. The international company announced on Wednesday that the company is working fully with the EU Commission. The searches do not mean that Delivery Hero actually violated competition law, nor do they prejudge the outcome of the investigation.
The EU antitrust authorities had previously stated that they had searched various food and grocery delivery services in two EU countries on suspicion of cartel formation. Neither names nor countries were mentioned.
In addition to Delivery Hero, the largest providers in the EU include the Lieferando owner Just Eat Takeaway.com, Uber Eats and Wolt from Doordash.
Just Eat Takeaway.com, Uber and fast food delivery services Gorillas and Flink said they were not searched. A company spokesman for Just Eat Takeaway.com said there were no investigations into possible collusion with other providers. Wolt was initially unavailable for comment.
