Judgment_paragraph 106 · Sumitomo Chemical Co. Ltd and Sumika Fine Chemicals Co. Ltd v Commission of the European Communities (T-22/02, T-23/02)

106The presumption of innocence implies that every person accused is presumed to be innocent until his guilt has been established according to law. It thus precludes any formal finding and even any allusion to the liability of an accused person for a particular infringement in a final decision unless that person has enjoyed all the usual guarantees accorded for the exercise of the rights of the defence in the normal course of proceedings resulting in a decision on the merits of the case.
