Det følger heraf, at Kommissionen i fornødent omfang har godtgjort, at der i tidsrummet 1979-1986, i Italien, i en række tilfælde anvendtes eliminerende ved salg af maskiner.
E — Machine pricing and other allegedly abusive praaices in Italy
Det fremgår således klart, at disse former for praksis, der skulle udelukke konkurrenters maskiner fra markedet eller fratage dem forretningsreferencer, som Kommissionen har gjort gældende, havde til formål at styrke Tetra Pak's dominerende stilling inden for den aseptiske sektor eller at udelukke konkurrenter fra den ikkeaseptiske sektor, hvorfor de er udtryk for misbrug.
The applicant adduced no real evidence in support of its allegations contradicting the Commission's finding that in Italy Tetra Pak set machine prices independently of carton prices.
Af det således anførte fremgår, at begge led af tredje søgsmålsgrund, hvorefter traktatens artikel 86 ikke skulle være overtrådt, må forkastes.
Thus in a letter of 27 May 1982, the journal referred to 'an agreement with another company in this field, to whom we have granted exclusivity for a long period of time'.
Fjerde søgsmålsgrund angående Kommissionens misbrug af sin påbudsbeføjebe
The existence of that agreement was also corroborated by the fact that Elopak was not permitted to advertise in that journal, unlike Tetra Pak.
Retten bemærker, at den nærmere undersøgelse af hovedparten afsalgs- eller lejekontrakterne for maskiner i Italien i tidsrummet 1976-1986 viser, at der ved indeksregulerede priser, på kort sigt er tale om prisforskelle på 20-40%, i visse tilfælde på 50-60% og derover, såvel på aseptiske som ikkeaseptiske maskiner.
Furthermore, the Court noted that, contrary to the allegations of the applicant, sales at a loss, even spedfic ones, by an undertaking in a dominant position were capable of constituting abuses within the meaning of Article 86 of the Treaty where their eliminatory nature was suffidently proved.
Da sagsøgeren overhovedet ikke har fremført argumenter, der kan antages at give en objektiv begrundelse for virksomhedens prispolitik, må disse forskelle utvivlsomt anses for diskriminerende.
It followed that the Commission had established to the requisite legal standard that from 1979 to 1986 there were a number of machine sales at predatory prices in Italy.
Andre former for misbrug
The allegedly discriminatory machine prices
Det drejer sig navnlig om opkøb af konkurrenters maskiner med henblik på at udelukke dem fra markedet; tilsagn fra ét af de ovenfor anførte mejerier om ikke længere at anvende to maskiner, som mejeriet havde købt hos Tetra Pak's konkurrenter, den næsten totale udelukkelse i Italien af aseptiske emballeringsmaskiner af mærket Resolvo, der blev udviklet af Poligrafico Β ui toni i begyndelsen af 1970'erne, og som var en potentiel konkurrent til Tetra Pak på de aseptiske markeder, og endelig monopoliseringen af reklamemedier gennem en mundtlig eneretsaftale, der i det mindste omfattede 1982, med bladet // Mondo del Lane, der er det vigtigste specialtidsskrift inden for mejerisektoren i Italien.
The Court found that detailed analysis of the majority of contracts for the sale or lease of machines in Italy from 1976 to 1986 revealed short-term differences from the prevailing price of 20 to 40%, even in certain cases of 50% to more than 60%, for both aseptic and nonaseptic machines.
Kommissionen har således med rette antaget, at den i sagen
In the absence of any argument by the applicant which might provide objective justification for its pricing policy, such disparities were unquestionably discriminatory.
virksomheder er sikret høringsret over for Kommissionen for så vidt angår bødeudmålingen.
Council to impose measures designed to bring to an end the infringements found on the four relevant markets where, as had already been held in the context of the third plea, the undertaking in question was caught by Article 86 of the Treaty in the Community as a whole which, as the Court had also already shown, constituted the relevant geographical market
ophør, i forhold til de foranstaltninger, den 311erede havde givet virksomheden henstilling om under den administrative procedure.
As for the prohibition on any form of discount or more favourable terms for which there was no 'objeaive justification', its aim was to put an end to all the praaices found unlawful in the Decision and to preclude any similar practice.
Artikel 3, stk. 3, i forordning nr. 17 giver således alene Kommissionen beføjelse til at rette henstillinger til de deltagende virksomheder med henblik på at bringe overtrædelsen til ophør, inden der i medfør af samme artikel træffes en beslutning, hvori det konstateres, at der foreligger en overtrædelse.
15(4) of Regulation No 17 specifically provided that fines imposed pursuant to paragraph 2 of that artide were not to be of a criminal law nature.
Den omstændighed, at den pågældende virksomhed respekterer sådanne henstillinger, kan under ingen omstændigheder begrænse den beføjelse, der ved samme artikels stk. 1 er tillagt Kommissionen til, ved en beslutning, at pålægge alle de foranstaltninger, den skønner nødvendige med henblik på at bringe de konstaterede overtrædelser til ophør.
Secondly, on the question of the right of the undertakings concerned to be heard during the administrative procedure, Article 19(1) of Regulation No 17 and Article 7(1) of Regulation No 99/53 expressly provided that, where the Commission proposed to impose a fine, the undertakings concerned had to have the opportunity to make their submissions On the matters to which the Commission has taken objection'.
At den pågældende virksomhed under den administrative procedure har vist samarbejdsvilje og har efterkommet Kommissionens krav med henblik på at bringe overtrædelsen til ophør kan alene tillægges betydning for så vidt angår bødens størrelse.
It was thus by way of their submissions on the duration, the gravity and the foreseeability of the anti-competitive nature of the infringement that the rights of the defence of the undertakings concerned were guaranteed before the Commission in relation to setting the amount of the fine.
I den foreliggende sag er det Rettens opfattelse, at sagsøgeren som følge af adfærdens omfang, varighed og systematiske karakter ikke kunne være uvidende om, at den medførte alvorlige begrænsninger for konkurrencen, navnlig i betragtning af selskabets monopollignende stilling på de aseptiske markeder og dens førende stilling på de ikkeaseptiske markeder.
In this case, the Court considered that the applicant could not have been unaware that by their scale, their duration and their systematic nature the praaices at issue involved serious restrictions on competition, in particular given its quasi-monopolistic position on the aseptic markets and its leading position on the nonaseptic markets.
Henset til virksomhedens stilling på de relevante markeder og de alvorlige indgreb i konkurrencen, måtte sagsøgeren have været vidende om, at forbuddet i traktatens artikel 86 herved blev overtrådt.
Moreover, given its position on the relevant markets and the grave impairment of competition, the applicant could not have been unaware that it was infringing the prohibition laid down in Article 86 of the Treaty.
Heraf følger, at selv om afgrænsningen af de relevante varemarkeder og af anvendelsesområde for artikel 86 ikke er helt ligetil, kan denne omstændighed ikke i den foreliggende sag begrunde, at bøden nedsættes, når henses til, at de konkurrencebegrænsende virkninger af misbruget har været så åbenbare og usædvanligt grove.
It followed that, even if in some respects defining the relevant produa markets and the scope of Article 86 might have been a matter of some complexity, that factor could not in this case lead to a reduction in the amount of the fine because of the manifest nature and the particular gravity of the restrictions on competition resulting from the abuses in question.
Heraf følger, at det fjerde anbringende, hvorefter Kommissionen har misbrugt sin påbudsbeføjelse, følgelig må forkastes.
The effect of compliance with such recommendations by the undertaking in question could in no case be to restria the Commission's power under paragraph (1) of that article to impose, when it took the decision, any measure it considered necessary in order to bring the abuses found to an end.
Bødens størrelse
The claim relating to the amount of the fine
Ud fra disse betragtninger finder Retten, at de kriterier, Kommissionen har lagt til grund for sin beslutning, som nærmere anført heri, kan begrunde det høje bødeniveau.
So far as concerned the amount of the fine, the Court noted at the outset that the applicant's proposition to the effect that the fine was penal in nature and the undertaking in question had the right to be heard by the Commission on its amount could not be accepted.
Det bemærkes for det første, at det af selve ordlyden af artikel 15, stk. 4, i forordning nr. 17 fremgår, at bøder i henhold til samme artikels stk. 2, ikke er sanktioner i strafferetlig forstand.
The Court found that the criteria used by the Commission and set out in the Decision justified the high level of the fine imposed.
For det andet bemærkes med hensyn til virksomhedernes ret til at udtale sig under den administrative procedure, at det af artikel 19, stk. 1, i forordning nr. 17, samt af artikel 7, stk. 1, i forordning nr. 99/63 af 25. juli 1963 udtrykkeligt fremgår, at Kommissionen skal give de pågældende virksomheder lejlighed til at afgive mundtlig forklaring »vedrørende de af Kommissionen fremførte klagepunkter«, hvis den agter at pålægge en bøde eller tvangsbøde.
In particular the Commission correctly took into account the exceptional duration (15 years or more) of certain infringements; the number and diversity of the infringements, which concerned all or almost all the group's products and some of which affected all the Member States; the particular gravity of the infringements which moreover formed part of a deliberate and coherent group strategy seeking by various eliminatory praaices towards competitors and by
Sagsøgerens argument om, at bøden er for høj, og at den er uforholdsmæssig, savner således grundlag.
It accordingly fell within the parameters laid down by Artide 15(2) of Regulation No 17, according to which the amount of the fine could be up to 10% of the turnover in the preceding business year of each of the undertakings partidpating in the infringement The applicant's argument to the effect that the fine was excessive and disproportionate was accordingly devoid of substance.
oplysninger fra parterne svarer bøden på 75 mio. ECU til ca. 2,2% af sagsøgerens samlede omsætning i 1990. Dette er således inden for rammerne af artikel 15, stk. 2, i forordning nr. 17, hvorefter bøden kan forhøjes til 10% af omsætningen i det sidste regnskabsår i hver af de virksomheder, som har medvirket ved
In the light of all the above factors the amount of the fine imposed in the Decision was not disproportionate to the size of the applicant According to the data provided by both parties, that fine of ECU 75 million corresponded to approximately 2.2% of the applicant's total

It was, however, necessary to determine, in the circumstances of the present case, whether the possibility of continuing the company was real or whether, on the other hand, it was purely hypothetical and the company necessarily had to be dissolved.

The information filed by the parties suggested prima facie that withdrawal of K+S and the joint venture from Kali-Export, which the Commission made a condition of its declaration that the concentration was compatible with the common market, did in practice entail the dissolution of Kali-Export, since the other shareholders did not have any real possibility of avoiding such a dissolution following the withdrawal of the two main shareholders.

As a matter of prindple, the dissolution of a company undeniably constituted serious and irreparable damage for it The same applied to its shareholders, es peda Uy if the company carried out the distribution of a significant part of their products and was their means of access to the international market In this case, to challenge the distribution system which the partners in Kali­Expoit, including the applicant SCPA had used for many years to sell their products in international markets would be likely to alter conditions of access to those markets in such a way as to make it very difficult if not impossible, to re­establish them later, if the main action were to succeed.
