272The Commission replies that it did not take integrated sales of components made by ABB and Siemens into account, since those products cannot immediately be rechannelled into the open market. As such they do not exert any direct competitive pressure and should not be included in the calculation of the market shares of the undertakings concerned, in particular where added value is conferred on the products in question (Commission Decision 2000/174/EC of 3 May 2000 declaring a concentration to be compatible with the common market and the EEA Agreement (Case No COMP/M._693 — Alcoa/Reynolds, OJ 2002 L 58, p. 25)). That practice in taking decisions was approved by the Court of First Instance in Case T-221/95 Endemol v Commission [1999] ECR II-1299, paragraph 109.
