»Commercial Agent Privilege in European Antitrust Law. Assessment of Agency Agreements against the Background of Article 101 (1) TFEU«: This thesis addresses the question whether and under which conditions agency agreements wholly or partially fall outside the scope of Article 101 TFEU (so-called Commercial Agent Privilege). In doing so, a concept for the antitrust assessment of agency agreements is developed, which can be used by practitioners. At the same time, it is shown that agents acting for several principals, as well as so-called ›dual role agents‹ or online trading platforms can fall under the commercial agent privilege.weiterlesen
