The following questions will be discussed:

Question A: “The grocery retail market: is antitrust efficiently handling this market?” (merger, restrictive practices, abuse of dominant position)

Question B: “On what legal grounds could or should commercial practices, i.e. manufacturing, marketing, distribution or advertisements, of items produced or services rendered in violation of standards, statements, commitments or CSR voluntarily issued or adopted by an undertaking, be sanctioned or prevented?”

In May 2013, the League has sent a consultation to the Commission on the Technology Transfer Block Exemption Regulation report
