Brussels fines Meliá with 6.6 million euros for discriminating against clients according to their residence

• Sanctions Escarrer, CEO of Meliá, is banned in the US for hotel activity in Cuba
• Helms-Burton Law "We ask for triple the value of all hotels"

The European Commission (EC) on Friday imposed a fine of 6,678,000 euros to the Spanish hotel group Meliá for operating with clauses that discriminated between its customers depending on the place of residence, which violates the European competition regulations.

"The Commission's investigation showed that Meliá had signed contracts with tour operators that limited the active and passive sales of hotel accommodations," the community executive said in a statement.

The violation for which this sanction is imposed lasted during 2014 and 2015 and began to be investigated in 2017.
