TY - JOUR TI - The doctrine of ancillary restrictions as a delimitation tool and an absorption principle: twin notions but not identical twins IS - 5 JF - JOURNAL OF EUROPEAN COMPETITION LAW AND PRACTICE UR - https://doi.org/10.1093/jeclap/lpae036 SP - 299 N2 - Contrary to the general view, ?ancillary restrictions? designate two separate conceptions, which should be treated as separate doctrines. As a ?delimitation tool?, ancillarity separates ?naked? and ?ancillary? restrictions based on ?reasonable necessity?. As an ?absorption principle?, ancillarity is a rule of thumb that screens out certain lawful agreements based on the idea that a lawful main transaction (or the legality of the main transaction) absorbs all objectively necessary (indispensable) restrictions.
