Operative part of the judgment

Operative part of the judgment

Article 1(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 is to be interpreted as meaning
that, where a self-employed intermediary had authority to conclude a
single contract, subsequently extended over several years, the condition
laid down by that provision that the authority be continuing requires
that the principal should have conferred continuing authority on that
intermediary to negotiate successive extensions to that contract.

1. The application is dismissed;

2. The Commission of the European Communities is ordered to pay

the costs;

3. The French Republic is ordered to bear its own costs.
