Actual competitor in the European Union Law

Concept of Actual competitor provided by the “Glossary of terms used in EU competition policy” (Antitrust and control of concentrations, published in 2002): Firm which is either currently active on the same relevant market as the company under investigation, or which is able to switch produc-tion to the relevant products and market them in the short term without incurring significant additional costs or risks in response to a small and permanent increase in relative prices (immediate supply-side substitutability).
