The Commission will then, firstly, evaluate the actual impact of the competition agreements; if the impact is considerable, the Commission can in any case take into account the economic benefits of these non-competition agreements in its evaluation of the possible applicability of an individual exemption under Article 81(3) to the agreements.
Hvis indvirkningen er betydelig, kan Kommissionen dog tage højde for de økonomiske fordele, der følger af sådanne konkurrenceaftaler, når den vurderer, hvorvidt en individuel fritagelse i medfør af artikel 81, stk. 3, bør gælde for aftalerne.
