Form of order sought

—


Set aside the judgment under appeal and annul the contested decision in so far as, with reference to the period May — September 1997, they fail to recognise the lesser gravity of Ausimont’s conduct, on account of the fact that it did not participate in the agreement on the limitation of capacity and in so far as they place Ausimont in an incorrect category for the purpose of determining the basic amount of the fine and, accordingly, recalculate the amount of the fine imposed on the appellant in Article 2 of the decision; or

Pleas in law and main arguments







1.


Infringement of Article 101 TFEU and Article 2 of Regulation No 1/2003, (1) contradictory and insufficient statement of reasons and, in that connection, manifest distortion of the evidence, in that it has not been established that Ausimont’s conduct from May 1995 to May-September 1997 can be classified as forming part of an ‘agreement’ or ‘concerted practice’; nor are reasons given for the rejection of the objective evidence produced by the appellant to demonstrate that Ausimont’s conduct during that period was highly competitive and independent.










2.


Breach of the principles of equal treatment, non-discrimination and legal certainty, including in the light of the failure to have regard to the 1998 Guidelines on the method of setting fines, (2) failure to state reasons and manifest distortion of the evidence in relation to the assessment of the gravity of Ausimont’s conduct and the determination of the sanction to be applied to it.
