COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION Commission Notice on the definition of the relevant market for the purposes of Union competition law · European Union
| 31. | Therefore, while the Commission may rely on the principles of the SSNIP test in its assessment of the relevant market, there is no obligation on the Commission to apply the SSNIP test empirically, and other types of evidence are equally valid to inform the market definition, as further described in Section 3 (56). In fact, in most cases the SSNIP test serves only as a conceptual framework for the interpretation of available evidence.
