The Advisory Committee (13 Member States) agrees with the Commission’s definitions of the relevant product markets for the production and supply of certain finished flat carbon steel products and in particular: 4.1. Hot-dip galvanised steel products supplied to the automotive industry (‘automotive HDG’) constitute a distinct product market from hot-dip galvanised steel products supplied for other applications, in particular due to the limited demand and supply side substitutability, the other specificities of the demand and supply of automotive HDG as detailed in the decision, and prevailing conditions of competition ([Information on margins]) between automotive and non-automotive customers; 4.2. All automotive HDG, regardless of whether supplied directly or indirectly to the automotive OEMs, belongs to the same relevant product market, which is likely differentiated.
