Re:
Reference for a preliminary ruling — Cour de cassation — Interpretation of Article 7(2) of Council Directive 86/653/EEC of 18 December 1986 on the coordination of the laws of the Member States relating to self-employed commercial agents (OJ 1986 L 382, p. 17) — Termination of the agency contract — Commission owed to a commercial agent entrusted with a specific geographical area or group of persons — Whether there is a right to that commission in the absence of any control, direct or indirect, by the principal over transactions between a third party and a customer belonging to the geographical area entrusted to the agent
Operative part of the judgment
The first indent of Article 7(2) of Directive 86/653/EEC of 18 December 1986 on the coordination of the laws of the Member States relating to self-employed commercial agents must be interpreted as meaning that a commercial agent entrusted with a specific geographical area does not have the right to a commission for transactions concluded by customers belonging to that area without any action, direct or indirect, on the part of the principal.
