EE&MC has experience in assessing both horizontal agreements between competitors and vertical restrictions between suppliers or buyers on behalf of numerous enterprises.
EE&MC has extensive experience in a range of industries, including:
- Banking
- Beverages
- Electronics
- Petroleum
- Retail
EE&MC also has wide experience carrying out economic analyses to establish market definitions to check for the applicability of Group Exemption Regulations or individual exemptions under Article 101(3) TFEU.
More recently, there has been an increase in the requirement for an economic assessment as to whether a cartel agreement ‘appreciably’ restricts competition in the market or not. Under this ‘De Minimis’ provision, agreements that cover only a small part of a market are exempt from competition rules. We can carry out such evaluations for your business.
