Block Exemptions Sample Clauses

Block Exemptions. As has been described above, the application of Article 81 is detrimental to undertakings. The scope of the prohibition is uncertain and the exemption system is costly and time-consuming. On the other hand, if an agreement is drafted to fall under a Block Exemption, there is no need for economic analyses to determine whether the agreement infringes Article 81(1) or not. Neither is there any need for notification; the agreement is valid without specific authorisation. The benefits of bringing an agreement within the terms of one of the old Block Exemptions were such that they became, in effect, standard-term models for all distribution contracts. In order to benefit from a Block Exemption, an agreement had to fit one of the categories of agreements for which the Commission had adopted a Block Exemption. Furthermore, there was a need to ensure that the agreement was within the spirit, as well as the wording, of a particular Regulation. It also appears from case law that undertakings could not ‘pick and mix’ from within the Block Exemptions, but had to demonstrate that the entire agreement benefited from the provisions of only one of the Regulations.81 The division of agreements into different groups was based on the backlog of notifications that the Commission had received over the years and did not necessarily show much of economic or commercial reality. In addition, before the Reform, only three Block Exemptions were adapted for vertical distribution systems, which were all in regard to bilateral agreements of final goods. It is hard to find economic arguments as to why selective distribution should not also benefit from a Block Exemption, or why there was not any exemption that covered multilateral arrangements dealing with services or intermediate goods. The system did not only force agreements into artificial groups, but it was also discriminatory in favour of certain distribution arrangements.82
