| 39. | The Commission carries out its assessment of the conditions of competition by examining a variety of evidence. Such evidence includes, depending on the requirements and particularities of each case: the presence of the same or different suppliers across geographic areas; similarities or differences in their market shares and prices; similarities or differences in customer preferences and purchasing behaviour; barriers and costs associated with supplying customers in a different area; distance-related factors affecting costs, quantities available or reliability of supply, and trade flows and patterns of shipments. Further details on the evidence the Commission relies on when assessing geographic markets are set out in Section 3.3.
