Subsidisation and unfair pricing practices*- Public deliberation IX.
In those circumstances,RegTP's decisions could not have created for the applicant a legitimate expectation that its pricing practices were compatible with Article 82 EC.

The fact that competition has developed less favourably in the other Member States does not show that the applicant's pricing practices had no anticompetitive effect in Germany, which is the relevant geographic market.
The level of measures imposed to offset unfair pricing practices benefiting from a non-commercial advantage, shall not exceed the difference between the fares charged by the non-Community air carrier concerned and the normal fare rate established in accordance with Article 3 but should and shall be less than that difference if a such lesser level would be adequate to remove injury to Community industry.
Cases will be examined on the basis of complaints from the airline industry which show that such subsidies or unfair pricing practices are causing injury on certain routes.
However, it has proven practically impossible to substantiate unfair pricing practices in international aviation, inter alia due to difficulties in comparing complex fare setting systems applied by airlines for"like air services.
In any event, the applicant, which fails to quantify the extent to which competitors are presenton the national market, does not produce any evidence to rebut the findings in recitals 180 to 183 to the contested decision that its pricing practices actually restrict competition on the German retail access market.
It must be observed first of all that the Commission considered in the contested decision whether the pricing practices of the dominant undertaking could have the effect of removing from the market an economic operator that was just as efficient as the dominant undertaking.
Given that, until the entry of a first competitor on the market for retail access services, in 1998, the applicant had a monopoly on that retail market,the anti- competitive effect which the Commission is required to demonstrate relates to the possible barriers which the applicant's pricing practices could have created for the growth of competition in that market.
On the contrary, it follows implicitly but necessarily from RegTP's decisions that the applicant's pricing practices have an anticompetitive effect, since the applicant's competitors have to resort to cross-subsidisation in order to be able to remain competitive on the market in access services see paragraphs 119 and 238 above.
RegTP's statement that‘[c]ompetitors are not so prejudiced with regard to their competitive opportunities in the local network by the slight difference between retail and wholesale prices as to make it economically impossible for them to enter the market successfully or even to remain in the market'(decision of RegTP of 29 April 2003)does not imply that the applicant's pricing practices do not distort competition within the meaning of Article 82 EC.
It must be held that the Commission informed the applicant in the statement ofobjections(paragraphs 95 to 140) that it considered the applicant's pricing practices, and in particular the margin squeeze resulting from the negative or insufficient spread between its wholesale and retail prices, to be in breach of Article 82 EC.
Therefore it follows that, even if, as the applicant claims, it were true that access services and telephone calls constitute a‘cluster' as far as the enduser is concerned, the Commission was entitled to conclude in recital 119 to the contested decision that, in order toassess whether the applicant's pricing practices distort competition, it was necessary to consider the existence of a margin squeeze in relation to access services alone, and thus without including telephone call charges in its calculation.
Second, the Commission sets out in detail in recitals 102 to 162 and176 to 183 to the contested decision the grounds on which it considers the applicant's pricing practices to be abuses within the meaning of Article 82 EC and, in recitals 163 to 175, the grounds on which the applicant must be deemed responsible for the infringement found, in spite of the fact that the German authorities have to approve the applicant's charges.
It is necessaryto lay down who may lodge a complaint, and the information on countervailable subsidies or unfair pricing practice, injury and causation which such complaint should contain;
