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

| (98) | Another variation of the case, which Box 6 and Box 7 are based on, may illustrate the method. Assuming that a before-during-after comparison reveals an increase in the unit price of wire harnesses of EUR 100 in the Member State 1 (where the infringement and passing-on occurred) between 2005 and 2010. An analysis of the unaffected market in Member State 2 over the same period may show that the unit price of wire harnesses has increased by only EUR 10, due to an increase in another input cost, e.g. plastic. Assuming that the higher input cost (of plastic) also concerned Member State 1, and provided that all other conditions are the same, a comparison of the different development of prices on wire harnesses in Member States 1 and 2 would indicate the price increase caused by the passing-on effect. In the example, this would be EUR 90.
