(34) In case M.7932 Dow/DuPont, the Commission first defined national markets for formulated crop protection products to assess product and price competition, paragraphs 319 and 332. In that assessment, the Commission relied on market shares computed at the level of crop/pest combinations at the national level, but also used market shares for crop/pest combination groupings at the EEA level as being informative of the strength of market players at the level of their portfolio of active ingredients, as well as global market shares of R&D suppliers, as being informative of the relative strength of suppliers bringing new active ingredients to the market, paragraph 362. Second, the Commission analysed innovation competition in the whole industry and in innovation spaces consisting of groupings of crop/pest combinations at the global or at least EEA-wide level to assess how agrochemical companies compete to discover and develop new active ingredients, paragraphs 352 and 361.
