The Competition Commission shall NOT have regard to which one of the following factors while determining the 'relevant geographic market' as per Section 19 of the Competition Act, 2002 ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Exclusion of in-house production is a factor for defining the relevant product market under section 19(7), rather than a listed geographic-market factor. The geographic inquiry concerns the area over which competitive conditions are sufficiently homogeneous. Regulatory trade barriers, distribution facilities and transport costs help determine that area and are expressly listed in section 19(6).
