46It must however be observed that, as is clear from paragraphs 136 to 145 of the judgment under appeal, the General Court held that the Commission was justified in reaching a conclusion which the appellants did not dispute before that court, that the appellants did not form with LGE and Philips a single undertaking for the purposes of application of Article 101 TFEU and therefore did not constitute a vertically-integrated undertaking, and consequently the appellants’ relevant sales to LGE and Philips were included in the category of ‘direct EEA sales’, relating to the sales of cartelised LCD panels to independent third parties. That finding has also not been challenged by the appellants in their appeal. On the contrary, at the hearing, the appellants expressly stated that the sales of cartelised LCD panels to their parent companies were not internal sales.
