COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION Commission Notice on the definition of the relevant market for the purposes of Union competition law · European Union

By contrast, in the context of cases where the focus is on assessing a change in market power, in particular the change in market power resulting from the elimination of competition between the parties to a concentration involving horizontal overlaps, the candidate market includes at least the relevant products or types of products of the merging parties and the SSNIP test can typically be applied at the prevailing price. Therefore, market definition may not always lead to the same results in cases involving the assessment of a change in market power as in cases involving the assessment of existing market power.
