GE would not be in a position to significantly affect the upstream market. In particular since competing blade manufacturers would continue to have access to wind turbine manufacturers other than GE. In relation to the downstream markets, GE would continue to face significant competition from other major turbine manufacturers, such as Siemens, (MHI) Vestas, Nordex and Senvion, who either manufacture their blades in-house and/or are not dependent on LM Wind Power for supplies.

LM Wind Power designs and manufactures blades that are sold to General Electric and its competitors as a component for the wind turbines. The Commission's investigation focused on the effect of the transaction both on the upstream market for the manufacture and supply of wind turbine blades, as well on the downstream markets for the manufacture and supply of onshore and offshore wind turbines.

A classic example of this from an upstream perspective would be resistance to wind turbine development in areas where they have not had to deal with that sort of surface disturbance.

14. Urges the EU, in a context of regional water scarcity, to step up its assistance in the field of water management within the ambit of the EU Environment and Water Initiative and to explore, as a way to address energy scarcity in upstream states, further options for solar and wind energy, which could help rural communities on a small scale; considers it regrettable that, to date, the EU Water Governance Project has largely focused on water quality, which is important but less relevant to the situation in Central Asia than issues of sharing and allocation of water resources; in particular, notes that hydroelectric energy and water re ...[+++]sources projects in upstream states Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan have led to increased regional tensions with Central Asian downstream countries; points out that the EU has considerable expertise in international water law and that it should therefore promote the establishment of a sustainable cooperative order for water governance, grounded in treaty-level international law;
