The Agency Agreement is a vital commercial contract used when a business (principal) wishes to appoint another party (agent) to act on its behalf in specified territories or markets under Maltese law. This document is particularly relevant for businesses expanding their operations, seeking representation in new markets, or establishing distribution networks. The agreement must comply with Malta's Civil Code, Commercial Code, and EU Directive 86/653/EEC on Commercial Agents, which provides minimum standards for agent protection. It typically includes detailed provisions on commission structures, performance expectations, termination rights, and post-termination obligations. The document is especially important in Malta's context as a Mediterranean business hub, often involving cross-border commercial relationships and requiring careful consideration of both local and EU regulatory requirements.
