In consequence, on June 9, 1998, the KFTC issued a corrective order and imposed surcharge
of KRW 266 million on Maeil Dairies in accordance with Articles 31 and 31-2 of the MRFTA on the grounds that Maeil Dairies’ practice constituted RPM within the meaning of Article 29 of the MRFTA. The KFTC also found that Maeil Dairies had violated the law in a habitual and repeated manner on a total of seven occasions for three years from the time of corrective order. Given that the violation was so objectively evident and material that it substantially impeded the competition order due to its substantial influence on the infant necessity market, the KFTC filed criminal complaints against Maeil Dairies and its representative, respectively, in accordance with Article 67(4) and Article 70 of the MRFTA.
