88In this regard, it must be noted that the Court, when itself giving final judgment in the matter, in accordance with the second sentence of the first paragraph of Article 61 of its Statute, is empowered, in the exercise of its unlimited jurisdiction, to substitute its own appraisal for that of the Commission and, consequently, to cancel, reduce or increase the fine or periodic penalty payment imposed (see, inter alia, judgment in KME Germany and Others v Commission, C‑389/10 P, EU:C:2011:816, paragraph 130 and the case-law cited).
