COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION Guidelines for national courts on how to estimate the share of overcharge which was passed on to the indirect purchaser · European Union

| (66) | The purpose of building a counterfactual scenario is to isolate the effect of the infringement from other factors affecting the price of a product or service, which would have affected such a price even if the infringement had not taken place (63). For instance, an increase in demand would typically lead to a price increase even absent a cartel. Direct or indirect purchasers should not be compensated for that effect. Hence, when constructing a counterfactual scenario, it is necessary to control for factors that are not related to the infringement (64).
