Ex post pricing definition
Ex post pricing means unilateral defining of a fee by issuing banks after the transaction (paragraph 11 CJEU judgment). The CJEU ruled that the GC erred in taking account of such a rule in its analysis of the effects of the MIFs on competition without explaining whether such a prohibition was likely to occur in the absence of the MIF: Case C-382/12 P, paragraph 169. However, the CJEU went on to hold that in fact such a prohibition on ex post pricing was “plausible or indeed likely” (paragraph 173).
