(64) The relevant geographic market would then be defined as the area where those suppliers are located that supply products that are substitutable for the customers. See, for example, case M.1628 TotalFina/Elf, paragraphs 222ff, where the Commission defined the relevant market as the market for into-plane supply of jet fuel at specific airports, and paragraph 228 in particular, which refers to barriers to switching to alternative suppliers at another airport. See also, for example, case M.9014 PKN Orlen/Grupa Lotos, paragraphs 1045-1052. Likewise, in cases concerning retail distribution of daily consumer goods, the Commission has defined the relevant geographic market as a local area defined by a maximum driving time for customers based on considerations of demand substitution, see, for example, case M.8468 Norgesgruppen/Axfood/Eurocash, paragraphs 24ff, and included in that relevant market all retail outlets located in that area.
