Judgment_paragraph 21 · SIA „Maxima Latvija” v Konkurences padome (C-345/14)

21In the present case, it is apparent from the documents submitted to the Court that Maxima Latvija is not in a competitive situation with the shopping centres with which it has concluded the agreements at issue in the main proceedings. Although the Court has already held that a fact of that nature in no way precludes an agreement from containing a restriction of competition ‘by object’ (see, inter alia, judgment in Allianz Hungária Biztosító and Others, C‑32/11, EU:C:2013:160, paragraph 43 and the case-law cited), it must, however, be stated that the agreements at issue in the main proceedings are not among the agreements which it is accepted may be considered, by their very nature, to be harmful to the proper functioning of competition.
