The VBER and Vertical Guidelines: Revision or Reform? Reflection on critical issues

While the European Commission is exploring a possible revision of the VBER and of the Vertical Guidelines and assessing the various policy options proposed, this volume aims to reflect on some of the relevant issues and subjects in the VBER, some more controversial than others, but all having been over the years at the centre of the debates on the legal framework applying to vertical restraints. Hopefully this set of articles will constitute a useful contribution to these debates.
