Mogoče je, da povečanje učinkovitosti, ki izhaja iz koncentracije, nevtralizira učinke na konkurenco in zlasti potencialno škodo potrošnikov, ki bi sicer lahko nastala, in da koncentracija posledično bistveno ne ovira učinkovite konkurence na skupnem trgu ali njegovem znatnem delu, zlasti kot posledica ustvarjanja ali krepitve prevladujočega položaja.
It is possible that the efficiencies brought about by the concentration counteract the effects on competition, and in particular the potential harm to consumers, that it might otherwise have and that, as a consequence, the concentration would not significantly impede effective competition, in the common market or in a substantial part of it, in particular as a result of the creation or strengthening of a dominant position.
