European Court of Justice – may 2026

Reference for a preliminary ruling – Directive 86/653/EEC – Article 15(2) – Article 19 – Self-employed commercial agents – Notice period – Date of expiry of the commercial agency contract.

Article 15(2) and Article 19 of Council Directive 86/653/EEC of 18 December 1986 on the coordination of the laws of the Member States relating to self-employed commercial agents must be interpreted as meaning that a commercial agency contract does not expire on the date on which the commercial agent becomes aware or could reasonably have become aware of the termination of that contract, but only on the date of expiry of the notice period.
