86It follows that, without it being necessary to examine whether the SML meetings were part of a single and continuous infringement, it must be concluded that the Commission has failed to establish to the requisite legal standard that, by participating in the four SML meetings, the applicant intended by its own conduct to contribute to all the common objectives pursued by the undertakings participating in the CPT cartel and that it was aware of the unlawful conduct planned or put into effect by those participants in pursuit of the same objectives or that it could reasonably have foreseen it and was prepared to take the risk, within the meaning of the case-law cited in paragraphs 52 to 54 above. Nor can the awareness of that conduct be inferred, on the basis of an overall assessment of the evidence relied on in the contested decision, from the fact that the applicant had initially maintained bilateral contacts with some of the participants in the CPT cartel and then attended four SML meetings with some of them.
