Solvay et Cie SA, now Solvay SA (Solvay), infringed Article 85 of the EEC Treaty (now Article 81 of the EC Treaty) by participating from about 1987 until at least the end of 1990 in a market-sharing agreement by which Solvay guaranteed to CFK a minimum annual sales tonnage of soda ash in Germany calculated by reference to CFK's achieved sales in 1986, and compensated CFK for any shortfall by purchasing from it the tonnages required to bring its sales to the guaranteed minimum.
