100As regards the first part of the plea, the Commission submits that the answer to the question whether an undertaking which has acted under compulsion may escape the application of Article 85 must be based on the Community case-law relating to the defence of necessity (see, for example, Joined Cases 303/81 and 312/81 Klöckner-Werke v Commission [1981] ECR 1507, and Case 188/82 Thyssen v Commission [1983] ECR 3721) and of self-defence (Case 16/61 Acciaierie Ferriere et Fonderie di Modena v High Authority [1962] ECR 289, 303 and, to the same effect, Case T-9/89 Hüls v Commission [1992] ECR II-499, paragraphs 365 and 366, and Case T-10/89 Hoechst v Commission [1992] ECR II-629, paragraphs 358 and 359). The case-law relating to the application of Article 85 of the Treaty to undertakings in the same group, on which the applicant relies, is therefore irrelevant.
