Verboven’s (2009) discusses vertical restraints, concluding their necessity for efficient distribution, discussing how the European Commission has altered its interpretation of Article 81 overtime. Three types of restraint are highlighted: Selective distribution, Exclusive distribution and Exclusive dealing, and that restraint adoption depended on current levels of regulation. Verboven (2009) explains that vertical restraints became subjected to EU Competition Laws and due to ‘cumulative anti-competitive effects ’ were reformed, becoming stricter.

In Finland the measures are likely indistinctly applicable as all other member states including Finland have to follow the national law but it’s indirectly discriminatory towards other member states as Finland seems to portray as a protectionist promoting their own national goods. Most importantly Cassis principle of presumption of mutual recognition is applicable where as long as one member state allow the goods to be market there is no reason that other member states not allowing it, citing Commission v Spain . Thus UK regulation would not be applicable if others member states allow ‘Konfekt’
