Form of order sought
The appellants claim that the Court should:
|
— |
set aside the General Court’s judgment in Case T-378/10 insofar as it dismisses their request to annul Article 1 of the Commission’s decision of 23 June 2010 in Case COMP/39.092 — Bathroom Fittings and Fixtures insofar as it finds that the Appellants have participated in a continuing agreement or concerted practice ‘in the bathroom fittings and fixtures sector’; |
|
— |
annul the Commission’s decision of 23 June 2010 in Case COMP/39.092 — Bathroom Fittings and Fixtures insofar as it finds that the Appellants have participated in a continuing agreement or concerted practice ‘in the bathroom fittings and fixtures sector’; |
|
— |
order the Commission to pay the Appellants’ legal and other costs and expenses in relation to this matter; and |
|
— |
take any other measures that this Court considers appropriate. |
Pleas in law and main arguments
The Appeal contains two pleas.
According to the first plea, the General Court erred in law by manifestly distorting the evidence and by misapplying the legal test for finding that the Appellants participated in a single, complex infringement covering ceramics products.
According to the second plea, the General Court erred in law by failing to state adequate reasons for its finding.
