82The Commission’s final decision is not, however, necessarily required to be a replica of the statement of objections. Thus, it is permissible to supplement the statement of objections in the light of the response supplied by the parties, whose arguments show that they have in fact been able to exercise their rights of defence. The Commission may also, in the light of the administrative procedure, revise or supplement the arguments of fact or of law on which it has relied in support of its objections (see Case T-86/95 Compagnie générale maritime and Others v Commission [2002] ECR II-1011, paragraph 442, and France Télécom v Commission, paragraph 60 above, paragraph 18 and the case-law cited).
