We advised Michelin in a query reagrding its mechanism related to its individual management plan for offering its clients/ customers for the disposal of end-of-life tyres, and if there was any legislation that would prevent Michelin from making a profit from the provision of such service as well as the possibility of offering such service within a “service package”, from a free competition and regulatory perspectives. In this respect, we evaluated the Regulatory Framework regarding this matter and the Antitrust Legislation seeking the best formula for the implementation of this service without failing in any regulatory infringement, taking into account the vertical comercial relationship between Michelin and its clients. Thus, we gave Michelin a comprehensive response from these two (2) perspectives, including those aspects that the client must considered to avoid an infringement against the regulations and an antitrust practice.
