) BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURERS WHO WISH TO EXHIBIT AT THE EMO WOULD HAVE NO REASON FOR NOT BEING PRESENT AT A NUMBER OF OTHER EXHIBITIONS OR FAIRS WHERE THOSE OF THEIR COMPETITORS WHO ARE NOT PARTICIPATING AT THE EMO WERE EXHIBITING . FURTHERMORE , THIS PROVISION DOES NOT GO BEYOND THE BOUNDS OF WHAT IS NECESSARY TO ATTAIN THE OBJECTIVE SINCE IN EVEN-NUMBERED YEARS MANUFACTURERS AND DISTRIBUTORS ARE FREE TO EXHIBIT WHEREVER THEY WISH , WHICH AVOIDS THE DRAWBACKS OF AN OVER-RIGID SYSTEM , AND ALSO BECAUSE IN EMO YEARS THEY MAY OBTAIN AUTHORIZATION FROM CECIMO TO EXHIBIT SOME OF THEIR MACHINES ELSEWHERE ALSO .
ACCOUNT MUST BE TAKEN IN THIS CONNECTION OF THE LIMITED NUMBER OF LOCATIONS SUITABLE FOR ORGANIZING A MACHINE TOOL EXHIBITION , WHICH REQUIRES QUITE SUBSTANTIAL MATERIAL RESOURCES .
IT MUST ALSO BE BORNE IN MIND THAT CECIMO MODIFIED THE RESTRICTIONS BY EXEMPTING ALL BENCH MACHINE TOOLS FROM EMO RULE I/7 AND GIVING MANUFACTURERS AND THEIR INTERMEDIARIES THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISPLAY SOME OF THEIR MACHINE TOOLS AT OTHER NON-SPECIALIZED LOCAL FAIRS AND EXHIBITIONS , WITHOUT THEIR WHOLE RANGE BEING EXCLUDED FROM THE EMO .
THE EMO REGULATIONS DO NOT THEREFORE IMPOSE RESTRICTIONS WHICH ARE NOT INDISPENSABLE TO THE ATTAINMENT OF THE ABOVE OBJECTIVES ;
( D ) FOR ORGANIZERS OF FAIRS AND EXHIBITIONS MACHINE TOOLS ONLY REPRESENT ONE FORM OF PROMOTION AMONG OTHERS ; MOREOVER ALL MANUFACTURERS REMAIN FREE , EVEN IN THE YEARS WHEN THE EMO IS HELD , TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE EMO AND OTHER EVENTS :
( I ) ORGANIZERS OF FAIRS OTHER THAN CECIMO MAY ORGANIZE , ONE YEAR IN TWO , EXHIBITIONS IN WHICH ALL THOSE INTERESTED ARE FREE TO TAKE PART AND IN EMO YEARS THEY CAN COUNT ON THE PARTICIPATION OF CERTAIN MACHINE TOOL MANUFACTURERS WHO HAVE NOT EXHIBITED AT THE EMO OR WHO HAVE OBTAINED SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION FROM CECIMO ;
( II ) THE FACT THAT MACHINE TOOL MANUFACTURERS ( OR THEIR DISTRIBUTORS ) ARE OBLIGED TO MAKE A CHOICE DOES NOT ELIMINATE COMPETITION BETWEEN THE UNDERTAKINGS CONCERNED , PARTICULARLY AS CECIMO HAS MADE PROVISION FOR AUTHORIZING THEM TO EXHIBIT ELSEWHERE EVEN IN EMO YEARS .
CECIMO HAS THEREFORE NOT ELIMINATED COMPETITION BETWEEN THE ORGANIZERS OF FAIRS OR BETWEEN SELLERS OF MACHINE TOOLS .
