(11) Whether the Commission analyses the relative competitive strength of undertaking(s) that purchase particular products in a particular area depends on the case and the possible theories of harm. Further detail on such theories of harm can be found in the Commission’s guidelines on substantive assessments in competition cases – see, for example, the Commission’s guidelines on the applicability of Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to horizontal co-operation agreements (OJ C 259, 21.7.2023, p. 1; ‘Guidelines for the assessment of horizontal cooperation agreements’), paragraphs 273-309 and the Commission’s guidelines on the assessment of horizontal mergers under the Council Regulation on the control of concentrations between undertakings (OJ C 31, 5.2.2004, p. 5; ‘Horizontal Merger Guidelines’), paragraphs 61-63. See, for example, case M.9409 Aurubis/Metallo, paragraphs 376 and 397-398.
