Belgium: Major change in the regulation of B2B relations

Starting from the observation that the current provisions of the Code of Economic Law would not make it possible to ensure an effective level of protection for companies in a position of weakness or even economic dependence on other companies, the Belgian legislator adopted on 21 March 2019 a new law introducing three sets of new rules into the Code aimed at regulating relations between companies (B2B). In the upcoming months, new provisions on abuse of economic dependence, unfair terms and unfair, misleading or aggressive market practices will come into force. In practice, several of these will fundamentally change the legal framework for business relations. This law will be published in the Belgian Official Journal shortly. Grégory Sorreaux and Catherine Thiry from MSI's legal member firm THALES provide further insight on the new legislation.
