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

| (121) | This passing-on rate approach can be implemented by analysing how previous changes in a firm's costs have affected its prices before or after the infringement period. For instance, in the example in Box 1 above, the passing-on rate may be estimated by analysing how historical changes in the cost of copper have affected the price of wire harnesses. Put simply, if an increase in the cost of copper by EUR 10 is followed by a price increase of wire harnesses by EUR 5, the passing-on rate is estimated to be 50 percent. To estimate the passing-on during the infringement period, the court could then combine this estimated passing-on rate with information on the overcharge and sales.
