By partial decision of 27 June 2016, the Cartel Court ruled that the exclusive allocation of the European market for the distribution of jointly produced products (in particular latex examination gloves) to the benefit of Semperit, as contained in the respective joint venture agreements between Semperit and the Sri Trang Group (Thailand), infringes Article 101(1) TFEU as well as § 1 KartG 2005. Pursuant to § 26 KartG 2005, Semperit has been forbidden to rely upon the respective contractual provisions. Thus, BWB's application of 9 October 2015 was granted. The partial decision is not final.
