—      Infringement of the principle of proportionality. In this
       regard, the applicant would point out, in particular, the
       fact that the effect of the contested decision consists in
       excluding it from the European market when its scientific
       analysis has not even been completed.

—      Misuse of powers, inasmuch as, in the applicant’s view,
       the purpose of the Commission is none other than to
       favour an undertaking which is its direct competitor.                                       (2003/C 158/52)
