IN ITS STATEMENT OF OBJECTIONS OF 27 JULY 1976 THAT IT CONSIDERED THESE OBLIGATIONS INCOMPATIBLE WITH ARTICLE 85 ( 1 ) OF THE EEC TREATY , THE PARTIES CHANGED THEM SO THAT THEIR AGREEMENTS COULD QUALIFY FOR EXEMPTION UNDER ARTICLE 85 ( 3 ) . IN PARTICULAR , THEY REPLACED THE BAN ON EXPORTS WITHIN THE EEC BY THE UNDERTAKING TO DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO MEET UNSOLICITED ORDERS INSIDE THE EEC , THE COMMISSION HAVING STATED IN ITS OBJECTIONS THAT IT WOULD IMPOSE AN OBLIGATION TO THAT EFFECT .
C . OTHER CONSIDERATIONS WHICH AROSE DURING EXAMINATION OF THE CASE ARE THE FOLLOWING :
1 . THE EXCLUSIVE ARRANGEMENTS MADE BY CAMPARI-MILANO DATE FROM BEFORE THE WAR AS REGARDS CAMPARI-FRANCE , SOVINAC AND OGNIBENI AND FROM BETWEEN 1949 AND 1983 AS REGARDS HANS PRANG AND KLEIN . THERE IS NO FINANCIAL LINK BETWEEN THE FIRMS CONCERNED .
BITTER CAMPARI IS CURRENTLY THE ONLY CAMPARI PRODUCT TO BE MANUFACTURED BY THE LICENSEES . THE VOLUME OF BITTER MANUFACTURED ANNUALLY AT PRESENT , ACCORDING TO THE LICENSEES , IS BETWEEN ONE AND THREE MILLION BOTTLES . ALL THE LICENSEES HAVE INCREASED THEIR PRODUCTION CAPACITIES CONSIDERABLY OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS BY THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW FACTORIES AND BY PLANT EXTENSIONS ALREADY CARRIED OUT OR IN COURSE OF CONSTRUCTION . THE SALE OF BITTER CAMPARI IS AT PRESENT THE ONLY ACTIVITY CARRIED ON BY THE FRENCH LICENSEE , WHO UNTIL RECENTLY REGULARLY IMPORTED WINE AND VERMOUTH , AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE BULK OF THE BUSINESS OF THE DUTCH , GERMAN AND BELGIAN LICENSEES ; THESE FIRMS AND THE DANISH LICENSEE DISTRIBUTE A WHOLE RANGE OF BEVERAGES ( NOTABLY SPIRITUOUS LIQUORS , GIN AND WINE ) MANUFACTURED BY THEMSELVES OR IMPORTED , IN GENERAL FROM FRANCE AND ITALY . SMALL QUANTITIES OF CAMPARI SODA AND CORDIAL CAMPARI ARE IMPORTED DIRECT BY SOME LICENSEES .
2 . APART FROM THE SECRET HERBAL MIXTURES , BITTER ORANGE ESSENCE AND ALBUMIN , THE LICENSEES USE LOCALLY BOUGHT SUGAR , ALCOHOL AND DISTILLED WATER IN MANUFACTURING BITTER . THE DOSAGE OF EACH OF THE INGREDIENTS OF BITTER VARIES WITH THE ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH TO BE GIVEN : AT PRESENT THIS STANDS AT 20 * FOR BITTER MANUFACTURED AND SOLD IN FRANCE BY THE FRENCH LICENSEE , 21,5 * AND 25 * FOR BITTER MANUFACTURED BY THE BELGIAN LICENSEE FOR SALE IN BELGIUM AND LUXEMBOURG RESPECTIVELY , 25 * FOR BITTER MANUFACTURED BY DUTCH AND DANISH LICENSEES AND BY CAMPARI-MILANO FOR SALE ON THE ITALIAN AND BRITISH MARKETS AND 30 * FOR BITTER SOLD IN GERMANY . DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR MANUFACTURE ARE SUPPLIED SO THAT THE DOSAGES FOR THE DIFFERENT MARKETS CAN BE ACHIEVED WHILE KEEPING THE QUALITY AND PRESENTATION AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE ORIGINAL ITALIAN PRODUCT .
CAMPARI BOTTLES ARE MANUFACTURED ACCORDING TO CAMPARI-MILANO DESIGNS AND MODELS .
ACCORDING TO THE COMMISSION'S INFORMATION , BEFORE THE MANUFACTURE CAN BE PROFITABLE , WHATEVER THE ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH , A VAT OF 28 000 LITRES AT THE VERY LEAST IS
