Partner and head of the competition practice John Dryllerakis praised the commission’s decision. “Its duty is to ensure the proper functioning of market mechanisms,” he said. Dryllerakis speaks from experience: he is a former competition commissioner. He leads what is now a five-partner, one-associate competition group. The team has played a role in most significant antitrust cases in Greece in recent years. It advised the Association of Flour Mills of Greece on an investigation by the competition commission. The association was accused, alongside the Greek Flour Millers Association, of causing “irreparable damage” to competition in the country’s flour market by encouraging members to increase prices. Together, the associations account for around 90 per cent of the flour mills in Greece.
