92Fourthly, it is necessary to reject the applicants’ argument based on the case-law of the Court of Justice, according to which the full effectiveness of Articles 101 TFEU and 102 TFEU requires that each person may claim damages for the loss caused by an infringement of those rules (Case C-453/99 Courage and Crehan [2001] ECR I-6297, paragraph 26, and Joined Cases C-295/04 to C-298/04 Manfredi and Others [2006] ECR I-6619, paragraph 60). Since that case-law relates to the implementation of those provisions on the initiative of a person who has suffered damage, it is not possible to infer from it that, in the context of the implementation of those provisions on the initiative of a competition authority, which has only limited resources, a penalty should be imposed in all cases in which an undertaking does not comply with a commitment made binding under Article 9(1) of Regulation No 1/2003.
