68Moreover, inasmuch as RFA International alleges that the Commission, in the contested decisions, applied the average profit margin of an independent importer, it is sufficient to point out that, according to case-law, the reasonable profit margin referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 2(9) of the Basic Regulation may, where there is an association between producer and importer within the Union, be based not on information from the associated importer, which may be influenced by that association, but on information from an unrelated importer (judgment in CHEMK and KF v Council, paragraph 40 above, EU:T:2011:618, paragraph 29; see also, by analogy, judgments of 5 October 1988 in Silver Seiko and Others v Council, 273/85 and 107/86, ECR, EU:C:1988:466, paragraph 25; and Canon and Others v Council, paragraph 39 above, EU:C:1988:467, paragraph 32).
