Draft European Commission Block Exemption Regulation on Research and Development Agreements

Document No: PUB 3/10
Posted: 14/12/2010

Article 101(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) iden­ti­fies in general terms classes of agreements that are incompatible with the inter­nal market, subject to the possibility of exemption under Article 101(3), e.g. where the agreement promotes technical or economic progress. If an agreement is “caught” by Article 101(1) but not exempted under Article 101(3), then it is unenforceable.
