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.
 

Based on current insights, the government considers it opportune to provide the aforementioned sub-areas with the necessary legal frameworks, instead of anchoring them in a code of conduct.
