At the end of May the European Commission published its long awaited Evaluation Report on Block Exemption.
The report concludes that Block Exemption regulation should NOT be replaced in 2010, but instead the industry should rely on a basket of existing 'general' competition legislation and some new industry specific legislation 'Euro 5' which comes into force for all new models of vehicle launched in 2009 and onwards.
In 2002 it was felt necessary to have an industry specific Block Exemption Regulation which set ou tto protext the independent aftermarket, the vehicle manufacturers main dealers and the consumer from the vehicle manufacturers using technology to create monopolies for the repair and service of their brand vehicles. Since 2002 there has been a huge increase in the technology so the need is greater now than ever before! |
