In previous investigations, the Commission found that prices paid for LUR in the PRC were not representative of a market price determined by free market supply and demand, since the auctioning system was found to be unclear, non-transparent and not functioning in practice, and prices were found to be arbitrarily set by the authorities.
La Commission a également constaté que des sociétés du groupe Giti et du groupe Hankook avaient perçu des remboursements de la part des pouvoirs publics locaux en compensation des prix qu'elles avaient payés pour les droits d'utilisation du sol.
