18 April 2023: Following acceptance by the Secretary of State of the CMA’s recommendation to replace the retained MVBER on its expiry with a new block exemption, the CMA is consulting on draft guidance on the block exemption.

The CMA launched its consultation on its proposed recommendations to the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy regarding the retained Motor Vehicle Block Exemption Regulation (retained MVBER).

The CMA has received responses from all interested stakeholders by 22 August (5pm).
