Schedule 6, paragraph 4(1)

In deciding, on a merger reference under section 32(a) of this Act whether to take action for the purpose of remedying, mitigating or preventing the prejudice to the Director or any adverse effect which may be expected to result from the prejudice to the Director and, if so, what action should be taken, the Competition Commission may, in particular, have regard to the effect of any such action on any relevant customer benefits in relation to the merger concerned provided that— a consideration of those benefits would not prevent a solution to the prejudice concerned; or the benefits which may be expected to accrue are substantially more important than the prejudice concerned.
