36By contrast, comparison of the geographic impact of the infringements in the present case with the Volkswagen case (Commission Decision 98/273/EC of 28 January 1998, relating to proceedings pursuant to Article 85 of the EC Treaty, IV/35.733 — VW) (OJ 1998 L 124, p. 60), is meaningless in so far as the method of market definition differs for each of the two sectors, namely air transport for the first and vehicle distribution for the second. Furthermore, the fact that, in the Volkswagen case, the Commission classified the infringement as very serious even though Italy, Germany and Austria were the only countries affected, is irrelevant considering the disparity in size between those three countries and Denmark.
