Form of order sought
The applicants claim that the General Court should:

annul Commission Decision C(2017) 4112 final of 16 June 2017 amending Commission Decision C(2014) 9295 final of 10 December 2014 relating to a proceeding under Article 101 TFEU and Article 53 of the EEA Agreement (AT.39780 — Envelopes); |
— |
in the alternative, in the exercise of its unlimited jurisdiction, reduce the amount of the fine imposed in Article 1 of the contested decision, and as a consequence (i) reduce the basic amount of the fine by 95,3671 % pursuant to point 37 of the Guidelines on setting fines and (ii) reduce, additionally, the amount of the fine, after deductions for leniency and settlement, by at least 33 %; |

Pleas in law and main arguments
By judgment of 13 December 2016 (Case T-95/15, Printeos v Commission), the General Court annulled Article 2(1)(e) of Commission Decision C(2014) 9295 final of 10 December 2014, in Case AT.39780, which imposed on the applicants a fine of EUR 4 729 000.
The contested decision contains additional information on the methodology which was applied and the facts taken into account by the Commission when setting and adjusting the basic amount of the fines in the 2014 Decision and when imposing a fine of the same amount as that imposed under the 2014 Decision.
In support of their action, the applicants rely on three pleas in law.
1. |
First plea in law, alleging infringement of the principles of legal certainty, protection of legitimate expectations and non bis in idem.
|
2. |
Second plea in law, alleging infringement of the principle of equality of treatment in the setting of the amount of the fine.
|
3. |
Third plea in law, alleging infringement of the principles of proportionality and of non-discrimination in the setting of the amount of the fine.
