1.

First ground of appeal: the imputation of Club Europa to Trame. Distortion of the evidence. Manifestly unreasonable reading and evaluation of that evidence.

The General Court erred in law by rejecting the plea that the Club Europa could not be imputed to Trame (even) for the period between 9 October 2000 and 19 September 2002, by reason of a distortion of the evidence, or by reason of a manifestly unreasonable reading and evaluation of it. In the light of this, the judgment under appeal is also vitiated in the part concerning the fine imposed on the appellant.

2.

Second ground of appeal: the failure to grant Trame a fine reduction as a result of an inability to pay. Failure to state reasons. Breach of Article 36 and the first paragraph of Article 53 of the Statute of the Court of Justice. Breach of Article 117 of the Rules of Procedure of the General Court.

The General Court erred in law by failing to explain adequately, or even by implication, the reasons why it rejected the plea alleging infringement of the principle of equal treatment by the Commission when granting relief stemming from an inability to pay, with the result that the appellant was unable to know the reasons on which the judgment under appeal was based and the Court of Justice also prevented from having sufficient information in order to carry out its review. From another point of view, the General Court failed to take into account factors of crucial importance for the purpose of resolving this point. In the light of this, the judgment under appeal is also vitiated in the part concerning the fine imposed on the appellant.

3.

Third ground of appeal: the methodology used by the General Court in the redetermination of the fine. Failure to state reasons. Breach of Article 36 and the first paragraph of Article 53 of the Statute of the Court of Justice. Breach of Article 117 of the Rules of Procedure of the General Court.

The General Court erred in law by failing to provide an adequate explanation of its methodology in calculating the fine in the context of the redetermination of the penalty to be imposed on Trame and, in particular, of the ‘weight’ attributed to each of the different factors relevant in that context. That failure makes it impossible, inter alia, to establish whether the General Court, when calculating the fine, acted in accordance with the principle of equal treatment.

4.

Fourth ground of appeal: concerning the costs relating to the proceedings at first instance before the General Court.

If one or both of the grounds set out in sections A and B of the appeal is upheld, this must also have an impact on the General Court’s conclusion in paragraphs 411 and 412 of the judgment under appeal, according to which each party is required to bear its own costs. Accordingly, the judgment must also be set aside in so far as it also requires the appellant to bear its own costs relating to the main proceedings at first instance in Case T-422/10, and the Commission must be ordered to pay those costs, or at least part thereof.

5.

Fifth ground of appeal: the right to judicial protection within a reasonable time. Breach of the second paragraph of Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Trame claims that the General Court failed to comply with its obligation to adjudicate within a reasonable time in the dispute brought before it by the appellant in Case T-422/10, and that it consequently breached the second paragraph of Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
