Specialisation agreements and SMEs

DESCARGAR

This report reviews the treatment of specialisation agreements under EU competition rules, exploring if and how these rules hinder procompetitive cooperation between small and medium-sized enterprises (“SMEs”), either among them or with larger undertakings.
The report identifies potential regulatory inconsistencies which may adversely affect SMEs and highlights the need for a clear and predictable treatment of horizontal cooperation for these undertakings.
The authors propose alternatives to facilitate that SMEs enjoy the benefits of the Specialisation Block Exemption Regulation and the Horizontal Guidelines while at the same time protecting competition.
