66In the present case, it is common ground that the only markets affected by the infringements established are the tin stabilisers market and the ESBO/esters market, on which AC‑Treuhand, as a consultancy firm, was not present. As a consequence, no portion of that firm’s turnover may be accounted for by the goods in respect of which the infringements were committed. Accordingly, to determine the fines imposed on the basis of the fees charged by AC‑Treuhand for the services provided to producers would amount to taking account of a sum which, while providing an indication of the amount of profit it made as a result of the infringements, would accurately reflect neither the economic importance of the infringements in question nor the extent of AC‑Treuhand’s individual participation in those infringements, contrary to the objective of point 13 of the 2006 Guidelines.
