White clause

White clause in the European Union Law

Concept of White clause provided by the “Glossary of terms used in EU competition policy” (Antitrust and control of concentrations, published in 2002): Provision contained in certain block exemption regulations, listing agreements or practices that are presumed not to prevent, restrict or distort competition within the common market and that are therefore generally considered compatible with EC competition law. The more recent block exemption regulations do not contain white clauses any more.
