The European Commission’s work in the motor vehicles sector includes market monitoring, competition advocacy as well as enforcement in individual cases in the merger, state aids and anti-trust fields.

The motor vehicle sector is an important one, both from the point of view of the economy as a whole and the individual consumer. DG Competition’s work in this sector includes market monitoring, competition advocacy as well as enforcement in individual cases in the merger, state aids and anti-trust fields.

These web pages mainly contain information on the Commission's anti-trust activities in the sector. In this field the Block Exemption Regulation 1400/2002 provides a sector-specific regulatory framework for vehicle distribution and repair. These pages also give details of other applicable legislation, information on cases of relevance to the sector, as well as the Commission’s reports on car prices across the EU, and other documents.

Other Commission pages on motor vehicles

This site relates to the Commission’s activities in the field of competition. Other Commission departments deal with other aspects of EU policy relating to motor vehicles. More information on these aspects is available on the relevant pages at DG Enterprise, DG Environment and DG Transport.
