Coordinated effects · Airtours

When the courts raised the bar on coordinated effects

A prohibition annulled, then a clearance annulled, and a standard of proof rewritten.

Coordinated effects (the theory that a merger lets the remaining firms tacitly collude) is where EU merger control collided hardest with the courts. In 1998 the Court of Justice confirmed that the Merger Regulation reaches collective dominance at all, while annulling the Kali und Salz decision for want of proof (C-68/94). A year later the Commission prohibited Airtours/First Choice on this theory.

In 2002 the General Court annulled it (T-342/99), holding the Commission had not met the standard of proof and setting out the conditions a coordinated-effects case must satisfy: a market transparent enough to reach and monitor a common line, a credible deterrent against deviation, and no competitive response from outsiders. Those 'Airtours conditions' still frame every coordinated case today.

Sony/BMG (M.3333) is the aftershock, and it ran the other way. The Commission cleared the deal in 2004, the independent labels' association Impala challenged the clearance, and in 2006 the General Court annulled it (T-464/04): a clearance has to be reasoned as carefully as a prohibition. In 2008 the Court of Justice set that judgment aside (C-413/06) and restated the Airtours conditions in its own words.

Not every turning point on the timeline below is about coordinated effects. A decision is on it because it ran this theory, and a court may have annulled it for a different reason.

Every coordinated-effects case in the corpus after 2002 sits downstream of Airtours. When the Commission clears one today (SK Hynix/Intel, M.10059, 2021), it is applying the test the courts imposed.
