HC Deb 08 August 1972 vol 842 cc397-8W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will give a list of the cartels authorised by the Commission or European Economic Community institutions to operate the territories of the Six and outside the Six on world markets.

Mr. Noble

The EEC rules of competition relate only to restrictive agreements which may affect trade between member States. Details of individual agreements authorised by the European Commission are published in theJournal Official des Communautés Europêennes, and references to the decisions are published in Trade and Industry. There are additionally a large number of agreements covered by the block exemption for exclusive dealership agreements, but particulars of them are not available.
