164It must be borne in mind that it was for the applicant to provide prima facie evidence that the non-disclosure of those replies might have influenced, to its disadvantage, the course of the proceedings and the content of the Commission’s decision. However, the applicant merely submitted in a general, very vague and purely speculative way that the other undertakings’ replies to the statement of objections might have provided it with exculpatory evidence because of the horizontal and vertical nature of the cartel and because of the Commission’s supposed bias in favour of the suppliers, and did not provide any specific information constituting prima facie evidence in support of this.
