Language of the case: French

Defendants: Président de l’Autorité de la Concurrence, Ministre de l’Economie de l’Industrie et de l’Emploi
Does a general and absolute ban on selling contract goods to end users via the Internet, imposed on authorised distributors in the context of a selective distribution network, in fact constitute a ‘hardcore’ restriction of competition by object for the purposes of Article 81(1) EC which is not covered by the block exemption provided for by Regulation No 2790/1999 (1) but which is potentially eligible for an individual exemption under Article 81(3) EC?
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2790/1999 of 22 December 1999 on the application of Article 81(3) of the Treaty to categories of vertical agreements and concerted practices (OJ 1999 L 336 p. 21)
