Directive on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States of the European Union in connection with self-employed commercial agents
Dora Sočo
Abstract
The Directive on the harmonization of the rights of EU Member States with regard to selfemployed commercial agents entered into force in 1986 with the aim of harmonizing the legislation of the EU Member States on contracts between self-employed commercial agents. The Directive harmonizes: the rights and obligations of commercial agents and their principals, compensation of commercial agents and, in particular, compensation or compensation of commercial agents after the end of the contract. The objectives of the Directive are the protection of commercial agents, the improvement of conditions of competition within the European Union, the increase of the security of commercial operations and the orderly operation of the common market. As part of the REFIT program in 2012, the European Commission assessed the Directive as successful and efficient, which is important since the activity of trade representatives accounted for 3 percent of trade turnover in the Union.
