You will find in this section detailed country reports on commercial agency, distribution and franchising law, prepared by highly qualified experts of each country. The reports answer the questions contained in a very detailed form prepared by IDI, in order to warrant that all main issues arising within these contracts are covered.

There is a close link between the country reports and the IDI model contracts. Each country report verifies whether specific clauses contained in the IDI model contracts are in compliance with the relevant legislation, or not.

Information about each country expert can be found under IDI Experts.

In addition, two special reports regarding matters of a more general nature are available:

• a special report on the choice of law and jurisdiction in the framework of distribution contracts;
• a report on EC competition (antitrust) rules applicable to commercial agency and distribution agreements.

The information provided in each country report is constantly updated by the corresponding Country Expert.
