lpv:translated text	"Commissioner, I congratulate you on the presentation of this document which is the last of the raft of rules relating to vertical restrictions. I would like to make some comments. You have given the example of the distributor in Amsterdam who could open a branch in London. Let us bear in mind that distributors are dependent – as always, but even more in this case, given the quantity of the investments to be made – on manufacturers, and that contracts do not extend for very long periods. It is true that, in the event of a resolution, they could go to tribunals, but I believe that, in the majority of EU countries – at least, Commissioner, in yours and in mine – the indefinite extension of cases would lead to the bankruptcy of distributors. Therefore, given that selective distribution is allowed, I would ask you whether, in order to achieve equality of prices between the different countries, it would not be more sensible, for example, to restrict this prohibition of the selective vendor selling exclusively to the final consumer or to other members of the network. That would favour parallel importers who would contribute to lowering prices."@en1
