Summary report on the internal workshop on ERT/margin squeeze tests applied by NRAs on 11 October 2019

This is the summary report of the internal workshop that was run by the Remedies Working Group. This internal workshop’s purpose was to enable NRAs to discuss the insights regarding the “Economic Replicability Test” (ERT) as set out in Recommendation 2013/466/EU, the BE-REC Guidance document from 2014 stemming from NRAs’ experiences in applying ex-ante margin squeeze tests since then.
The workshop necessarily focused on such interesting topics as the methodological choices to be made by NRAs in conducting ex-ante margin squeezes in the telecommunications sector as well as difficulties in the practical implementation of margin squeezes.
