61As the common organisations of the markets in agricultural products are therefore not a competition-free zone, it must be pointed out that, in accordance with settled case-law, Community competition law and national competition law apply in parallel, since they consider restrictive practices from different points of view. Whereas Articles 81 and 82 EC regard them in the light of the obstacles which may result from trade between Member States, national law proceeds on the basis of the considerations peculiar to it and considers restrictive practices only in that context (see, inter alia, Wilhelm and Others, paragraph 3, and Joined Cases 253/78 and 1/79 to 3/79 Giry and Guerlain and Others [1980] ECR 2327, paragraph 15).
