Practice question
In an effects-based inquiry under Section 14(c), a distribution arrangement produces substantiated delivery efficiencies and potential competitive harm. May the Commission ignore the efficiencies solely because a rival objects?
- Yes, because any objection establishes illegality
- Yes, because efficiencies are never relevant
- No; it must assess the substantial adverse competitive impact and the actual or potential efficiency gains under the applicable provisions
- No; any claimed efficiency automatically makes the arrangement lawful
- Yes, because only completed harm counts
