Président de l’Autorité de la concurrence v APVE and Others, popularly known as French Endives after its subject matter, is a 2017 EU law decision of the European Court of Justice. It determined that farmers are, to some degree, exempt from the EU's regular competition rules. Cooperation between farmers in a producer organisation or association of producer associations does not count as a cartel under Art. 101(1) TFEU.[1][2]
