Update Franchise Law
On 23 May 2018, the cabinet indicated to prepare a legal regulation that creates a framework for four sub-areas of cooperation between franchisors and franchisees that are crucial for balanced franchise relationships.
In this respect:
1) the pre-contractual exchange of information;
2) the interim amendment of a current franchise agreement;
3) the termination of the franchise partnership, and;
4) consultation between the franchisor and its franchisees.
