         Pleas in law and main arguments
   This action seeks annulment of Commission C(2005) 4634 Final of 30 November 2005 in Case COMP/F/38.354 — industrial bags. In the contested decision, the Commission states that the applicant, together with other companies, infringed Article 81 EC by participating, in the period 1991-2002, in agreements and concerted practices in the industrial plastic bag sector in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Spain and France. In respect of these infringements, the Commission imposed a fine on the applicant jointly and severally with Plásticos Españoles, S.A.
   In support of its claim, the applicant alleges that the Commission wrongly assessed the facts and infringed the principle of the presumption of innocence and the claimant's rights of defence.
