136In that regard, it is necessary to observe that, as was concluded in connection with the fourth plea, the Commission was fully entitled to impute the unlawful conduct of MTPD from 1 April 2003 until 12 June 2006 to the applicant and to Panasonic, considering that they formed an economic unit. It is apparent from settled case-law that, even if the parent company does not participate directly in the infringement, it exercises, in such a case, a decisive influence over the subsidiaries which have participated in it. It follows that, in that context, the liability of the parent company cannot be regarded as strict liability. In such a situation, the parent company is penalised for an infringement which it is deemed to have committed itself (see Case T‑372/10Bolloré v Commission [2012] ECR, paragraph 52 and the case-law cited).
