". – Yes, it has been a long period. I agree with you about that. On the other hand, as I am sure you are aware, this case is very complex. From a factual point of view, the Commission has to take into consideration the evolution of the port's activity over almost a ten-year period.
The market itself, which is at the core of any competition analysis, is very difficult to determine. It depends on the type of traffic considered: foot passengers, cars, transportation of goods and so on. In addition, as I mentioned a moment ago, the situation has changed greatly with the opening of the Øresund bridge last year. In addition, to make things more complex, there is no direct precedent. This explains why, as Mr Stenmarck underlines, this decision is eagerly awaited.
The Commission is in the process of analysing, in particular, the consequences of the opening of the bridge on the definition of the markets. All parties concerned will be asked to contribute all relevant information. The case is being given top priority and will be resolved as soon as possible. But I cannot, at this stage, indicate a time or possible outcome. That will depend on the facts."@en1
