Influence in 2007 Financials year financial misdemeanor sales income source 2007 The European Commission has sent formal antitrust charges to 'a number' of companies, of which Arkema, Kemira and Akzo Nobels units, in the sodium chlorate sector over alleged cartel activity between 1994 and 2000. Sodium chlorate is mainly used as a bleaching agent in the pulp and paper industry.     AFX 2006 The European Commission fined Solvay, Arkema, Ausimont, Akzo Nobel, Kemira, Air Liquide, Degussa 388 million euros for cartel on the peroxide market between 1994 and 2000. Peroxydes are used to bleach the paper pulp and textiles. The companies "exchanged information, limited their production, shared markets and customers and fixed and controlled the prices".     2006 Flexsys, a joint-venture between Solutia and Akzo Nobel, ran a rubber chemicals cartel in Europe. The European Commission added that it had "firm and convincing evidence" of the existence of a cartel during the years 1996-2001, but had also seen indications of collusion dating back to the 1970s. Flexsys was not fined because it had provided information to the probe.     Reuters 2004   12.69 0.86   billion Eu€ Les Echos 2004 Amende de 84,38 millions d'euros infligée par la Commission européenne pour entente sur le marché de l'acide monochloroacétique     AGEFI 2004 Amende de 21 millions d'euros infligée par la Commission Européenne pour un cartel sur de la vitamine B-4     Reuters 2003 Cartel sur le marché des peroxydes acétiques entre 1971 et 1999 : fixation des parts de marché et d'objectifs de prix, répartition des quantités de production et échange d'informations sur les ventes   13.05 0.6   billion Eu€ Les Echos 2002   14 0.82   billion Eu€ 2002 Fined for fixing the price and sharing the european market for sodium gluconate: 9 million euros.     Commission. 2002 condamné aux Etats-Unis à une amende de 12 millions de dollars pour entente sur les prix de l'acide monochloroacétique.     Les Echos 2001   12.58 0.6   billion US$ 2000   0.95   billion Eu€ Les Echos 1999 conspiracy to fix prices and share markets for sodium gluconate in Canada, fined Ca$ 350 000.     Strategis 1999   14.46 0.2   billion Eu€ 1998   14.56 0.71   billion US$ Financial delinquency in 2007
