273It should however be noted that UPS does not dispute the Commission’s main objection that data specific to each market were not taken into account, despite the differences in costs between those markets. The assessment of the claimed efficiencies is intended to ascertain, on the markets giving rise to a significant impediment to effective competition, whether those efficiencies are capable of counterbalancing the anticompetitive effects which the concentration is likely to produce. Where, as in the present case, those anticompetitive effects are localised within the territory of certain Member States, it is necessary to be able to ascertain, on each of those national markets, whether the claimed efficiencies will result in a net advantage for consumers.
