Read Frequently Asked Questions

 

Such restrictions have been viewed, typically, by the European Commission as infringements of the principle of free circulation of products within the internal market as enshrined in the EC Treaty and as breaches of the antitrust rules of the EC Treaty. A more recent wave of case law of the European Courts (European Court of Justice -ECJ- and European Court of First Instance-CFI-), European Commission decisions and rulings of the courts of the EU Member States, appears to point out at what might be a more lenient approach by the Commission and European Courts towards this type of restrictions.

  • Provisions of the EC Treaty governing parallel imports
