17 Abs. 2 Buchst. a der Richtlinie dahin auszulegen, dass diese Bestimmung, nach der Provisionsverluste des Handelsvertreters nur ein Element im Rahmen der Billigkeitsprüfung darstellen, auch zulässt, die dem Handelsvertreter entgehenden Provisionen als Obergrenze des Ausgleichs zu betrachten.
10 Basing itself on that case-law, the referring court is inclined to interpret Article 17(2)(a) of the Directive to the effect that that provision, pursuant to which the commission lost by the commercial agent represents only one element to be taken into account for the purposes of examining whether the payment of an indemnity is equitable, also makes it possible to take the view that the amount of commission lost by that commercial agent represents the upper limit for that indemnity.EurLex-2 EurLex-2
