(33) In respect of bituminous coal mining in the Czech Republic, the situation can thus be summarised as follows: in respect of both SC and CSFC, the aggregate market shares of the three biggest competitors on the geographical market as defined for the purposes of this decision are high, and more importantly, the biggest producer on its own represents a market share of almost 50 %, the markets should therefore be considered as being heavily concentrated and as recalled in recital 20, the overwhelming majority of extracted coal is consumed on the local market. The information on the degree of switching does not support the conclusion that a bituminous coal customer would have the will or possibility to easily switch supplier in the event of a small but significant price increase.
