Judgment_paragraph 54 · AssiDomän Kraft Products AB, AB Iggesunds Bruk, Korsnäs AB, MoDo Paper AB, Södra Cell AB, Stora Kopparbergs Bergslags AB and Svenska Cellulosa AB v Commission of the European Communities (T-227/95)

54The Commission submitted at the hearing, in reply to a question from the Court, that the solution in Snupat, cited above, cannot be applied to this case. There are major differences in context between the two cases (see, in addition to the judgment in Snupat, the judgments in Joined Cases 32/58 and 33/58 Snupat v High Authority [1959] ECR 127 and in Case 14/61 Hoogovens v High Authority [1962] ECR 253). First, Snupat, unlike the Swedish addressees, had in fact had recourse, in due time, to all the legal remedies open to it for challenging the decisions of the High Authority which adversely affected it. Secondly, Snupat concerned an equalization scheme which, by its very nature, established a link between the High Authority's treatment of various undertakings. The exemptions granted to certain undertakings resulted automatically in increased levies for the others, including the applicant Snupat. There is no such link between the addressees in this case.
