280In so far as Roquette claims that, by imposing on it a fine for its participation in a cartel already penalised by the United States authorities, the Commission infringed the ne bis in idem principle, under which a second penalty may not be imposed on the same person for the same prohibited conduct, it must be recalled that the Community judicature has accepted that an undertaking may properly be the subject of two parallel procedures for the same unlawful conduct and therefore of a twofold penalty, one imposed by the competent authority of the Member State in question, the other by the Community, in so far as those procedures pursue different ends and there is not identity between the provisions infringed (Wilhelm and Others, cited in paragraph 279 above, paragraph 11; Tréfileurope v Commission, cited in paragraph 279 above, paragraph 191; and Sotralentz v Commission, cited in paragraph 279 above, paragraph 29).
