Homogeneous conditions of competition across different areas can generally be expected to lead to similar price levels for the same products. Such similarity may also be the result of functioning arbitrage between different areas, that is to say the process by which higher prices in one area may lead arbitrageurs to buy in the low-priced area and resell in the high priced area until prices have converged sufficiently to make such arbitrage unprofitable. The Commission can also assess whether suppliers offer customers different conditions of supply based on the customer’s location, as that can have an effect on whether the market can be defined around the locations of the suppliers (89).
