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

| (185) | To which extent a passing-on effect is observed may also depend on the time horizon taken into account when estimating such effect. Particularly, the passing-on of an overcharge down the supply chain may be delayed for a number of reasons. Firstly, the initial overcharge may only affect the fixed costs of the firms facing the overcharge. Even though the relevant starting point for the assessment of passing-on effects is the impact of the overcharge on the purchaser's marginal or variable costs, an increase in fixed costs could affect the strategic decisions of a firm and hence also the passing-on effects.
