Pour déterminer s’il y a puissance commerciale dans un cas donné, le Bureau considère habituellement comme une période «prolongée »une période d’un an. Cela ne signifie toutefois pas que le Bureau ne formulera aucune allégation d’abus de position dominante si la puissance commerciale est exercée depuis moins d’un an. 2, record 2, French, - cas%20d%27abus%20de%20position%20dominante
