28The very wording of that provision, in that it differentiates between new customers and existing customers, might, it is true, suggest that only customers with whom the principal had, until the commercial agent’s involvement and generally speaking, maintained no business relations, are to be regarded as new customers. However, those words, by themselves, do not establish for certain whether the ‘new’ or ‘existing’ nature of a customer must be assessed in relation to the principal’s entire range of goods or in relation to certain goods in particular.
