(33) See, for example, case M.2033 Metso/Svedala of 2001, paragraph 114, where the Commission defined the geographic market for crushers, a piece of mining equipment, as EEA-wide. In the subsequent case M.9585 Outotec/Metso (Minerals Business) of 2020, paragraphs 258-261, the Commission concluded that the relevant geographic market for the supply of mining equipment, that is to say, grinding, flotation, filtration, iron ore pelletizing equipment, was global in scope. Similarly, in case M.580 ABB/Daimler-Benz of 1995, paragraphs 22-41, the Commission concluded that there were national or regional specifications in the market for rail technology, which acted as barriers to entry for exports outside the home region, and that customers preferred suppliers established in the same region or in the same Member State. However, later, in case M.5754 Alstom Holdings/Areva T&D of 2010, paragraph 35, the Commission concluded that the relevant market was at least EEA-wide.
