75In that regard, the approach which resulted in that analysis is in keeping with that followed by the Commission in certain decisions: Commission Decision 94/359/EC of 21 December 1993, declaring a concentration to be compatible with the common market (Case No IV/M/358 — Pilkington Techint/SIV, OJ 1994 L 158, p. 24, hereinafter ‘Pilkington-Techint/SIV Decision’), in which the Commission considered that raw float glass is a bulky heavy product, which is therefore expensive to transport over great distances; Commission Decision 89/93/EEC of 7 December 1988 relating to a proceeding under Articles 85 and 86 of the EEC Treaty, (Case IV/31.906 — ‘Flat glass’, OJ 1989 L 33, p. 44, hereinafter ‘Flat Glass Decision’), in which the geographical location of production facilities was considered to be a vital factor in the transport of flat glass; Commission Decision 89/22/EEC of 5 December 1988 relating to a proceeding under Articles 85 and 86 of the EEC Treaty (Case IV/31.900 — BPB Industries, OJ 1989 L 10, p. 50, hereinafter ‘BPB Decision’), in which, in view of the costs of transport and advantages of placing production facilities close to markets, it was considered that it was not economically possible to supply the market in Britain or Ireland on a large scale and for prolonged periods from abroad.
