Judgment_paragraph 37 · Groupe Danone v Commission of the European Communities (C-3/06 P)

37That appraisal by the Court of First Instance is consistent with the law. In accordance with settled case-law, the Commission has a particularly wide discretion as regards the choice of factors to be taken into account for the purposes of determining the amount of fines, such as, inter alia, the particular circumstances of the case, its context and the dissuasive effect of fines, without the need to refer to a binding or exhaustive list of the criteria which must be taken into account (see, inter alia, order in Case C-137/95 P SPO and Others v Commission [1996] ECR I-1611, paragraph 54, and judgment in Case C-219/95 P Ferriere Nord v Commission [1997] ECR I-4411, paragraph 33).
