Where the effective price is below AAC, as a general rule the rebatescheme is capable of foreclosing even as efficient competitors.
It is the less efficient competitors, and not consumers, that are the most likely to benefit from punishing Intel for lowering its prices.
Where competitors do not have such counterstrategies at their disposal, the Commission will consider that the rebatescheme is capable of foreclosing equally efficient competitors.
Price floors also protect less efficient competitors and reduce the incentive to improve quality and price of professional services.
Such companies can deliver products and services to market faster, cheaper and with better quality,gaining a compelling advantage over less efficient competitors.
Moreover, pricing below cost forecloses market entry by efficient competitors and therefore prevents a wider offer at better prices and service conditions.
For price‑based conduct, such as rebates, the paper considers whether onlyconduct which would risk excluding equally efficient competitors should be considered as abusive.
The Commission recognises that in certain circumstances a less efficient competitor may also exert a constraint which should be taken into account when considering whether a particular price-based conduct leads to anticompetitive foreclosure.
Enforcement action may however be warranted if the incremental price is below the LRAIC,because in such a case even an equally efficient competitor may be prevented from expanding or entering38.
However, in order to ensure that market entry by efficient competitors is possible, NRAs should accept volume discounts by SMP operators to their own downstream businesses, for example their retail arm, only if they do not exceed the highest volume discount offered in good faith to third party access seekers.
Where the effective price is between AAC and LRAIC, the Commission will investigate whether other factors point to the conclusionthat entry or expansion even by as efficient competitors is likely to be affected.
If, on the contrary, the data suggest that the price charged by thedominant undertaking has the potential to foreclose as efficient competitors, then the Commission will integrate this in the general assessment of anticompetitive foreclosure(see Section B above), taking into account other relevant quantitative and/or qualitative evidence.
Failure to cover LRAIC indicates that the dominant undertaking is not recovering all the(attributable)fixed costs of producing the good or service in question and that an as efficient competitor could be foreclosed from the market19.
If the data clearly suggest that an as efficient competitor can compete effectively with the pricing conduct of the dominant firm, the Commission will in principle infer that the dominant undertaking's pricing conduct is not likely to have an adverse impact on effective competition, and thus on consumers, and will be therefore unlikely to intervene.
Failure to cover AAC indicates that the dominant undertaking is sacrificing profitsin the short term and that an equally efficient competitor cannot serve the targeted customers without incurring a loss.
Although a given sector might be amongst the world' s best in terms of environmental efficiency in one country, and I can say that is true of many sectors of industry in my country, Finland, for example,it might have to agree to a more stringent quota for emissions than its less efficient competitor in another country.
A multi-product rebate may be anticompetitive on the tied orthe tying market if it is so large that as efficient competitors offering only some of the components cannot compete against the discounted bundle.
When applying the methodology explained in paragraphs 22-26, the Commission intends to investigate, to the extent that the data are available and reliable, whether the rebate system is capable of hindering the expansion orentry even of as efficient competitors by making it more difficult for them to supply part of the requirements of individual customers.
If, on the contrary, the data suggest that the price charged by the dominantundertaking has the potential to foreclose equally efficient competitors, then the Commission will integrate this in the general assessment of anticompetitive foreclosure(see Section B above), taking into account other relevant quantitative and/or qualitative evidence.
If the incremental price that customers pay for each of the dominant undertaking's products in the bundle remains above the LRAIC of the dominant firm from including this product in the bundle,the Commission will normally not intervene since an equally efficient competitor with only one product should in principle be able to compete profitably against the bundle.
In reality, TDIs are being used by inefficient producers as a form of naked protectionism to shelter them from competition, not only from non-EU competitors, but also from more efficient competitors across the EU that have taken advantage of globalisation and established global supply chains.
As soon as access to flight routes within the European Union are renegotiated after the UK's exit, the competitors from the remaining EU countries,who have lost market share to the efficient UK competitor over the years, will push for the permanent blocking of EasyJet's future access to flights within the EU.
