Abstract
Annotation on the Judgment of the Court (Third Chamber) of 29 June 2023 in Case C-211/22
Super Bock Bebidas SA and Others v Autoridade da Concorrência
In its judgment of 29 June 2023, following six questions referred for a preliminary ruling,
the Court of Justice of the EU provided clarity in dealing with a vertical case involving resale
price maintenance (RPM).1 A topic that had already undergone considerable evolution
in existing case law, from a phenomenon that was considered as restrictive by object, following
among others the Binon case, to a much more nuanced view in which the Court noted
that the agreements should be assessed in their appropriate legal and economic context
where the restrictive effect should be established first.
