| (127) | In certain cases, information on prices set by the direct purchaser during the infringement period, and only for this period, may be available. The passing-on rate approach may deliver misleading results also in such scenarios. This is because it would identify passing-on related price effects on the basis of changes in the costs of the input that has been subject to a competition law infringement. In many cases, it is not unlikely that, during the infringement period, the changes in the costs of the input that has been subject to a competition law infringement are substantially smaller than the cost increase resulting from the infringement. As explained above, small cost increases may not be passed on to the same extent as larger cost increases, and hence looking at relatively small cost and price changes during the infringement period could lead to an imprecise estimate of the passing-on effect.
