| 44. | An example of how the Commission considers trade flows when defining the relevant geographic market and carrying out its competitive assessment is the Commission’s assessment of the market for finished flat carbon steel products (69). The Commission concluded that the relevant geographic markets for several types of finished flat carbon steel products were not wider than the EEA because market structures differed between world regions; sourcing occurred to a very large extent at the regional level, and the pricing of the products differed significantly between world regions. Nevertheless, the competitive constraint from imports was assessed in detail as part of the competitive assessment.
