Resale Price Maintenance in Poland – Further Steps to Its Liberalization or Stuck in a Status Quo?
Journal Title: Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 13
Abstract
Due to the recognition of their positive market effects, the evolving approach to minimum or fixed resale price maintenance (RPM) creates, in many countries, the requirement of analyzing their true economic outcomes. In the light of newest judgments delivered by the Polish Supreme Court, the purpose of this article is to analyze if it is still justified to qualify RPM as a multilateral practice that restricts competition ‘by object’ under Polish law.
