ABSTRACT
It shall be incompatible with the Common Market and prohibited, in so far as trade between Member States is liable to be affected by it, for one or more undertakings to exploit in an improper manner a dominant position within the Common Market or within a substantial part of it. Such improper practices, may, in particular, consist in:
(a) the direct or indirect imposition of unfair purchase or selling prices or of other unfair trading conditions;
(b) the limitation of production, markets or technical development to the prejudice of consumers;
(c) applying in relation to like parties unequal conditions in respect of like transactions, placing them thereby at a competitive disadvantage;
(d) making the conclusion of contracts subject to agreement by the other parties to make additional payments, which, by their nature or according to commercial practice, have no connection with the subject of such contracts.
