Article 1
After preliminary examination under Article 15 (6) of Regulation No 17 the Commission considers that Article 85 (1) of the EEC Treaty applies to obligations of the nature contained in Clause 2.2 of the agreement made on 23 February 1977 between SociΓ©tΓ© nationale des poudres et explosifs and Leafields Engineering Limited, to the extent to which each party is prohibited from granting licences in respect of, or to produce or sell directly, specific products in the other party's country, and that the application of Article 85 (3) is not justified.
