Renfe sells its tickets offline and online either (i) directly via its websites and apps (i.e. Renfe and Cercan\u00edas) and mobility platform (i.e. d\u014dc\u014d); or (ii) indirectly through third-party ticketing platforms. Third-party ticketing platforms are companies that provide online ticketing services to customers through apps or websites (i.e. online travel agencies).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Commission has concerns that Renfe may have restricted competition in the Spanish market for online rail ticketing services by\u00a0<strong>refusing to provide<\/strong>\u00a0third-party ticketing platforms with: (i)\u00a0<strong>full content\u00a0<\/strong>concerning its range of tickets, discounts and features; and (ii)\u00a0<strong>real time data<\/strong>\u00a0(pre-journey, on-journey or post-journey) related to its passenger rail transport services.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Renfe currently offers its content and real-time data on its own websites and apps, but may have refused to directly provide access to all such information to the third-party ticketing platforms. Third-party ticketing platforms display offers from different rail carriers and provide customers with online searching, comparison, booking and payment services. These platforms need to have access to Renfe&#8217;s full content and real time data to tailor their offers to the customers&#8217; needs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Commission is concerned that Renfe&#8217;s alleged refusal to supply this content and real-time data may prevent the platforms from competing with Renfe&#8217;s own direct digital channels to the detriment of consumers. If proven, the behaviour under investigation may breach EU competition rules, which prohibit the abuse of a dominant position (Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (\u2018TFEU&#8217;)).<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 99.9988%; border-collapse: collapse; border-style: double; border-color: #001f7d;\" cellpadding=\"0,5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/nuevas-normas-y-derechos-de-los-pasajeros-de-tren\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Ferrocarril.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"201\" height=\"134\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/en\/new-rules-and-rights-for-train-passengers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New rules and rights for train passengers<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Commission will now carry out its in-depth investigation as a matter of priority.
