Dear Pete, I read the executive summary of the link, and it states among other things that the measure of competition is effect on consumer.

An economics-based approach requires a careful examination of how competition works in each particular market in order to evaluate how specific company strategies affect consumer
welfare.

This implies that competition authorities will need to identify a competitive harm, and assess the extent to which such a negative effect on consumers is potentially outweighed by efficiency gains. The identification of competitive harm requires spelling out a consistent business behaviour based on sound economics and supported by facts and empirical evidence. Similarly, efficiencies and how they are passed on to consumers should be properly justified on the basis of economic analysis and grounded on the facts of each case.
