Judgment_paragraph 17 · SIA „Maxima Latvija” v Konkurences padome (C-345/14)

17Accordingly, where the anti-competitive object of the agreement is established it is not necessary to examine its effects on competition. Where, however, an analysis of the content of the agreement does not reveal a sufficient degree of harm to competition, the effects of the agreement should then be considered and, for it to be caught by the prohibition, it is necessary to find that factors are present which show that competition has in fact been prevented or restricted or distorted to an appreciable extent (judgment in Allianz Hungária Biztosító and Others, C‑32/11, EU:C:2013:160, paragraph 34; see, to that effect, judgments in CB v Commission, C‑67/13 P, EU:C:2014:2204, paragraph 52, and Dole Food and Dole Fresh Fruit Europe v Commission, C‑286/13 P, EU:C:2015:184, paragraph 116).
