Hverken i USA eller Canada - og ej heller i visse medlemsstater - findes der et system for anmeldelse af konkurrencebegrænsende aftaler, idet vertikale aftaler på forhånd antages at være tilladte.
In the USA, Canada and a number of Member States there is no notification system for restrictive agreements, based on the premise that vertical agreements are a priori lawful.
