The new rules removed the benefit of the block exemption for manufacturers whose market share of the repair and maintenance markets exceeds 30% (most of them, at present) making it easier to deal with refusals to give technical information to independent garages or to misuse warranties (see IP/10/619, accompanying speech and, of course, the Regulation and Guidelines).
Nii on lihtsam lahendada juhtumeid, kus on keeldutud andmast tehnilist teavet sõltumatutele töökodadele või kuritarvitatud garantiid (vt IP/10/619, sellele kaasnev kõne ning määrus ja suunised).
