Af særlig interesse skal det endelig nævnes, at for at vurdere om Helsinki-aftalen kunne meddeles fritagelse fokuserede Retten kun på en af de i artikel 85, stk. 3, fastsatte fire betingelser, nemlig den, at begrænsningen skal være nødvendig, hvilket er af afgørende betydning, når der skal tages stilling til aftaler om gebyrer inden for banksektoren.
Lastly, it should be noted in particular that, in assessing the exemptability of the Helsinki Agreement, the Court had regard to only one of the four conditions laid down in Article 85(3) of the Treaty, namely that of the indispensable nature of the restriction, a crucial issue when it comes to examining all the commission agreements in the banking sector.
