On February 8, 2024, the European Commission (Commission)
adopted its revised Market Definition Notice (Notice), replacing a

investigating potentially anticompetitive conduct and in merger

As is typical for this type of document, the Notice mostly
articulates, rather than replaces or further develops, existing
practice.
