         Operative part of the judgment
      
      The Court:
      
                  1.
               
               
                  Sets aside the judgment of the General Court of the European Union of 15 December 2016, Infineon Technologies v Commission (T-758/14, not published, EU:T:2016:737), inasmuch as the General Court rejected the appellant’s claim in the alternative for a reduction of the amount of the fine that the European Commission imposed on it;
               
            
                  2.
               
               
                  Dismisses the appeal as to the remainder;
               
            
                  3.
               
               
                  Refers the case back to the General Court for it to give judgment on the claim for a reduction of the amount of the fine imposed on Infineon Technologies AG in the light of the sixth plea;
               
            
                  4.
               
               
                  Reserves the costs.
