Eurotunnel has accused the UK of anti-competitive behaviour over the awarding of contracts to three ferry players in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
The Guardian cited a letter from Eurotunnel parent Getlink's chief executive Jacques Gounon to UK transport secretary Chris Grayling as saying the contracts may have been illegally awarded.
“It is with serious concern that we have read in this weekend’s press details of agreements between HMG [Her Majesty’s government] and certain ferry operators up to £107m to provide additional capacity to be sold into the market even if a deal is reached,” he wrote.
