in which Siemens has market share in excess of4%. These markets are to be found in Au stria, where Siemens has [6% - 7%] for trams and [7% - 8%] for metros, and France ([4% - 5%] for metros).However, the Austrian market is rather small, and winning the one or two tenders,which took place in the five year referen ce period, leads to very high market share which do not give good indi cation of market power. similar reasoning applies to the French market for metros, where Siemens won [] out of [] orders. 9Moreover, since the upstream market for gears is EEA- wide, and gear producers supply the overall rolling stock market, it is unlikely that leading position such as the one that Siemens enjoys for Austrian trams or French metros will lead to any significant foreclosure of rival gear producers. When looking at hypothetical EEA-market only the market for trams would be vertically affected as Siemens has share of [3% - 4%] on this market. 3. However, on each of these rolling stock downstream markets, both on an EEA and national level, Siemens faces significan competition. from Alstom ([2% - 3%] for trams in the EEA), Bombardier ([2% - 3%] for trams in the EEA) and several smaller but credible other European suppliers such as AnsaldoBreda, CAF, Skodaand recently Stadler. It can therefore be concluded that Flenders competitors will not be foreclosed from the passenger transport gears market as they will continueto have access to an important part of the downstream market, both in the EEA and on national markets. . CONCLUSION 3. It can therefore be concluded that the concentration will not significantly impede effective competition in the common market or in significant part of it, inparticular as result of the creation or strengthening of dominant position. 3. For the above reasons, the Commission has decided not to oppose the notified operation and to declare it compatible with the common market and the EEA Agreement. This decision is adopted in application o
