How it comes up, in Chapter 3
The first point is size. The block exemption covers an agreement only up to the market share threshold: each side must hold no more than 30 in every 100 of its market. Cressby’s share is counted among sellers of coffee machines, and Tullavane’s among buyers of them. Both are within the limit, so the exemption can apply.
