The European Commission fined five oil refiners and chemical producers about $682 million, saying they fixed the price of synthetic rubber used to make tires. A sixth company that had alerted authorities escaped a fine.

It was the second-largest fine ever in an EU cartel case. Italy’s Eni was ordered to pay the largest fine — $357.6 million — while Royal Dutch Shell was fined $211 million. Their fines were hiked by half for it being a repeat offense.
