21Concerted practices between undertakings which could potentially be regarded as collectively dominant should not be ‘recycled’ as abuse of a collective dominant position, but rather dealt with under the rules applicable to concerted practices. Article 86 of the Treaty applies solely to the unilateral conduct of undertakings holding a dominant position, whereas Article 85 of the Treaty applies to concerted conduct: Case 172/80 Züchner v Bayerische Vereinsbank [1981] ECR 2021, paragraph 10, and Case 247/86 Alsatel v Novasam [1988] ECR 5987, paragraph 20.
