This paper considers which circumstances constitute an infringement of Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) by object. It also sets out the recent attempts to clarify this sophisticated issue of information exchanges between competitors, and provides a description of the European Commission's success and the European Court of Justice's failure to assist businesses with developing compliance strategies.
