Judgment_paragraph 30 · Lafarge SA v European Commission (C-413/08 P)

30Even if the burden of proof rests, according to those principles, on the Commission or on the undertaking or association concerned, the evidence on which a party relies may be of such a kind as to require the other party to provide an explanation or justification, failing which it is permissible to conclude that the rules on the burden of proof have been satisfied (see, Aalborg Portland and Others v Commission, paragraph 79).
