According to a press release issued by ARC, Dugongo Cimentos has repeatedly failed to provide information requested since August last year.

The document clarifies that the lack or provision of false, inaccurate or incomplete information in response to ARC requests constitutes an offence punishable by a fine not exceeding one percent of the previous year’s turnover, pursuant to the aforementioned article.
It should be noted that the ARC has powers of sanction and supervision of competition in the national industry, according to the Competition Law
