Case C‑411/15 P Timab Industries vs. European Commission
The European Commission welcomes today's judgment by the EU Court
of Justice dismissing in its entirety Timab's appeal against an earlier
General Court ruling. The General Court (case T-456/10) had upheld a Commission decision of July 2010 fining several companies for coordinating prices and allocating sales quotas for animal feed phosphates in Europe (case C-411/15 P).
In this case the Commission ran settlement and ordinary procedures in
parallel for different companies in the same cartel investigation.
Today's judgment addresses in particular the issue of such so-called
"hybrid" cases, where some parties settle and others don't. The highest
EU court rejected Timab's claim that the Commission had punished the
company for not settling and confirmed that Timab had suffered no
discrimination for not settling the case.

intellectual property rights for the purposes of producing stickers and
trading cards relating to national and international football
tournaments. The General Court dismissed the action and upheld the
Commission's findings.
