Towards the block exemption for authorised motor vehicle repair contracts?

This question deserves to be asked again. Traditionally, competition authorities consider that each car manufacturer’s share on the market of repair and maintenance of motor vehicles of its brand would be above 30%, which would prohibit authorised car repair contracts to benefit of the block exemption of Regulation 330/2010 dated 20 April 2010. Reassessment of the issue in the light of recent case law and market studies in an article by Xavier Henry published by the Revue Lamy de la Concurrence in its February 2020 issue (RLC 3742 N° 91, p. 38, February 2020).
