| 42. | As a result, the mere existence of imports or the possibility of switching to imports in a given geographic area does not necessarily lead to a widening of the geographic market to include the area from which the goods were or could be exported. Customers located in the area from which the goods were or could be exported may face different conditions of competition compared to customers located in the area where imports are delivered. In those circumstances, if geographic markets were defined widely to include the areas of export and delivery of imported goods, this could erroneously include in the relevant market areas where customers are likely to be affected differently by the relevant conduct or concentration. This would hamper rather than facilitate the competitive assessment.
