109Therefore the present case does not involve a unilateral refusal by the applicant to supply competing undertakings with a service they need in order to develop a neighbouring market, which would infringe Article 82 EC and therefore justify the application of the ‘essential facilities’ doctrine. Rather, it involves a situation where the applicant’s position under its partner agreements with collectors and sorters may restrict competition on the market for household packaging disposal systems, thus limiting demand for collection and sorting services on the market for the collection and sorting of household packaging. Consequently, in the present case, the Commission was right not to apply the ‘essential facilities’ doctrine and the related case-law of the Court.
