34Whilst Article 85(1) of the Treaty does not restrict such an assessment to actual effects alone, in so far as it must also take account of the agreement's potential effects on competition within the common market, an agreement will nevertheless fall outside the prohibition in Article 85 if it has only an insignificant effect on the market (Case C-7/95 P Deere v Commission, cited above, paragraph 76, and Case C-8/95 P New Hottand Ford v Commission, cited above, paragraph 91).
