Da BPB De Eendracht NV var et datterselskab af BPB PLC på tidspunktet for denne beslutning, mener Kommissionen, der er tale om én og samme virksomhed efter traktatens artikel 81, og at det er den af Kommissionen sanktionerede virksomheds ansvar ikke blot at stoppe den konkurrencebegrænsende praksis, men også at indrette virksomhedens salgspolitik i hele EU efter den individuelle beslutning, der er vedtaget vedrørende virksomheden, hvilket BPB ikke har gjort — snarere tværtimod — hvilket beslutningen vidner om [6].
Indeed, the Commission considers that since BPB De Eendracht NV was a subsidiary of BPB PLC at the time of the earlier Decision, these in fact form part of one and the same undertaking, within the meaning of Article 81(1) of the Treaty. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of an undertaking which is censured by the Commission both to bring to an end the anti-competitive conduct identified in the particular Decision which is addressed to it and to bring its commercial policy throughout the Community into line with that Decision.
