Judgment of 10 Jul 2014law://eu/cjeu/2012/c-295-12/para_133@2026-11-10

133That complaint must be rejected as unfounded since, as the Commission, the ECTA and France Telecom correctly observe, the fact that an undertaking’s conduct complies with a regulatory framework does not mean that such conduct complies with Article 102 TFEU.
