Market abuse: a new framework in the European Union
03/09/2014

A new framework applicable to market abuse prohibition and prevention has been adopted by the European institutions. It consists of Regulation 596/2014 on market abuse (the “MAR”) and of Directive 2014/57/EU on criminal sanctions for market abuse (the “Sanctions Directive”), both of which were published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 12 June 2014. These two instruments replace and repeal Directive 2003/6/CE on insider dealing and market manipulation (the “MAD”), which had been implemented into Luxembourg by the Law of 9 May 2006 on market abuse.

New Luxembourg car distribution rules: need for car brands to renegociate agreements with Luxembourg car distributors
14/08/2014

On 8 July 2014, the Luxembourg Parliament passed a law setting out specific rules for vertical agreements in the car distribution sector.

Some of these protective measures could already be found in Regulation (EC) No 1400/2002 on the application of Article 81(3) of the Treaty to categories of vertical agreements and concerted practices in the motor vehicle sector, but were abolished by Regulation (EU) No 461/2010.
