    ENFORCEMENT DECISION SERIES (NO. E/05/001) Competition Act 2002 Decision of The Competition Authority (Case COM/05/03) The alleged predation by the Drogheda Independent Company Limited in the market for advertising in local newspapers in the greater Drogheda area Date of Decision: 7th December 2004 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Competition Authority (“the Authority”) has taken the view that alleged predatory conduct by the Drogheda Independent Company Limited (“the DIC”) does not breach the Competition Act 2002. This view is taken on the basis that the DIC is not dominant nor could its alleged conduct constitute an abuse. The alleged conduct is arguably pro-consumer and more indicative of intense competition in the market than predatory conduct by a dominant undertaking. The Authority’s investigation was prompted by complaints from the publisher of the Drogheda Leader (“the Leader”) alleging that the DIC was abusing a dominant position by: launching the Drogheda Independent Weekend Extra (“the Extra”) in 1997, selling advertising below cost since 1997, and selectively discounting the price of advertising in the Extra during January and February 2003. The Authority rejected the first two of these allegations on the basis that the DIC’s actions could not plausibly be considered as predation and the theory of predation was inconsistent with market facts. The Authority therefore only outlines in detail its analysis of the allegation of below cost selling of advertising space in the Extra during early 2003 in this decision note. The Authority considers that the relevant market in which the DIC competes is the market for advertising in local newspapers in the greater Drogheda area.
