EU Competition Law Volume VI. Vertical Restraints
Langue : Anglais
This new volume analyses in considerable detail the antitrust issues
arising from vertical restraints and presents a comprehensive map and
critical assessment of current enforcement practice in the European Union.
The purpose of the book is to provide extensive guidance to practitioners,
businesses and researchers, as well as to contribute to the ongoing debate
on the application of EU competition rules to distribution and other
vertical agreements. The book contains thoughtful contributions written by
leading practitioners and scholars from different countries, which address
the general framework for assessing vertical restraints and cover a wide
range of vertical practices. After discussing the pro-competitive
rationale and potential negative effects of vertical restraints and the
introduction of an economic approach by the Commission, the book analyses
the block exemption regulation and critically reviews the limits of the
2010 revision of EU rules on vertical restraints. The following chapters
then explore in detail enforcement practices concerning the most commonly
used vertical restrictions and specific agreements entered into by firms
situated at different levels of the production chain. In particular, the
authors provide an extensive review of the issues raised by the individual
assessment of resale price restrictions, exclusive distribution and
customer allocation, selective distribution, single-branding, tying,
upfront access payments and category management. Specific chapters are
devoted also to franchising, agency and sub-contracting agreements. The
book’s continuous references to economic analysis insights and comparisons
with the experiences of other legal systems contribute to its value and
usefulness.
