Opinion of the Advisory Committee on Mergers given at its meeting of 6 May 2008 regarding a
draft decision relating to Case COMP/M.4854 — TomTom/Tele Atlas

Rapporteur: Ireland

(2008/C 237/10)

1. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the notified operation constitutes a concen-
tration within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the EC Merger Regulation and that it can be deemed to
have a community dimension pursuant to Article 4(5) of that Regulation.

2. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that this is a vertical merger comprising the

following relevant product markets:

— Navigable Digital Map Database — Upstream market,

— Navigation Software — Intermediate market,

— Portable Navigation Devices — Downstream market.

3. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the relevant geographic market for Navigable

Digital Map Database is worldwide in scope.

4. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that

the relevant geographic market

for

Navigation Software is worldwide in scope.

5. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the relevant geographic market for Portable

Navigation Devices is EEA-wide in scope.

6. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission's conclusion that the merged entity may have the
ability to increase price or degrade quality/delay access to Navigable Digital Map Databases to some of
its competitors in the Portable Navigation Devices and Navigation Software markets.

7. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission's conclusion that the merged entity would have
no incentive to increase the price or degrade quality/delay access to Navigable Digital Map Databases to
its competitors in the Portable Navigation Devices and Navigation Software markets.

8. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission's conclusion that the proposed concentration is

not likely to result in any anti-competitive impact to the detriment of consumers.

9. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission's conclusion that the proposed concentration
will not result in a significant impediment of effective competition in the common market or a substan-
tial part of it.

10. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the notified concentration should therefore
be declared compatible with the common market pursuant to Article 8(1) of the EC Merger Regulation.
