Abstract
This paper focuses on various types of slotting fees used in commercial transactions. Criticized are jurisprudential developments (especially those deriving from the Supreme Court) extending the use of the notion of slotting fees to various kinds of payments made by suppliers to buyers. Presented also are the relations between suppliers and wholesalers and retailers in negotiations and in product promotions. Finally, the paper differentiates between fair and unfair slotting fees and suggests that only an amendment to the present wording of Article 15(1)(4) of the Combating Unfair Competition Act can break the present jurisprudential line.
