Greece and Turkey have been at odds for decades over a range of issues including where their continental shelves start and how to get to Pelion end, energy exploration rights in the eastern Mediterranean, overflights in the Aegean Sea and ethnically-split Cyprus.
ACCC Chair Gina Cass-Gottlieb said in a statement that the fine "clearly signals to businesses that misleading consumers about the cost of a product or service is a serious matter which can attract substantial penalties".
SYDNEY, Dec 7 (Reuters) - An Australian court fined Uber Technologies Inc A$21 million ($14 million) on Wednesday for threatening cancellation fees it never charged and overstating fare estimates on some rides.

ride-sharing app broke consumer law by misleading customers with warnings they would be charged for cancelling some rides from 2017 to 2021 and by using an inaccurate software algorithm to estimate fares for a VOLOS KOMOTINI TAXI service it offered until August 2020, the Federal Court ruled.
Tinder Swindler Hayut operated under several aliases, VOLOS PATRAS TRANSFER including Simon Leviev, chief executive of LLD Diamonds and the son of Israeli-Russian billionaire Lev Leviev, VOLOS ACHILLION TRANSFER a man Forbes once called the 'King of Diamonds'.
Judge Michael Hugh O'Bryan said in a written ruling that by supplying inaccurate information on its smartphone app, Uber "would be expected to lead a proportion of consumers to alter their decision and not proceed with the cancellation and perhaps deter future cancellations", while distorting demand for its service.
The judge had made clear that the lower penalty "should not be understood as any reduction in the court's resolve to impose penalties appropriate to ... deterring contraventions of the Australian Consumer Law", SKIATHOS THESSALONIKI TAXI Cass-Gottlieb added.
Cecilie, 34, was one of Simon's targets who opened up about her experience on the Netflix docu-series which followed a bid to track down the con artist - real name Shimon Hayut - who claimed to be the son of a diamond merchant.
The London-based Norwegian tech designer, VOLOS IGOUMENITSA TRANSFER who starred on the Netflix documentary Tinder Swindler, where she claimed she was conned out of £200,000 by Simon Leviev, also confirmed she's back on the dating app.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), which brought the case against Uber, and the tech firm had already agreed on a fine of A$26 million, but O'Bryan told the court the evidence provided by both sides was "grossly inadequate", leaving him to speculate on the harm to consumers.
In this way, he persuaded his victims to give him the cash he said he needed. They used high-interest loans and platinum credit cards to raise the money before handing it over to him in the belief it was the only way to ensure his enemies would not find him.
