§3.2.2.1 Evidence of past substitution

60. When assessing supply substitution, the Commission may consider evidence from undertakings about the existence of overcapacity and their ability and incentive to redeploy production and supply in the short term. Evidence of past redeployment of production or supply to the products in question in response to exogenous changes in supply or demand conditions is particularly relevant (for example switching production between different qualities or grades in the ordinary course of business). By contrast, in the absence of evidence of past supply substitution, the Commission may consider it less likely that the effect of such substitution would be equivalent to that of demand substitution in terms of effectiveness and immediacy.
