79As is stated in the Court’s case-law, the wording ‘facts ... unknown to the Commission’, in relation to the first of those conditions, is unambiguous and allows, as stated by the General Court in paragraph 167 of the judgment under appeal, the adoption of a restrictive interpretation of the final paragraph of point 23(b) of the Leniency Notice, by limiting that provision to cases in which a company party to a cartel provides the Commission with new information relating to the gravity or the duration of the infringement, and by excluding from it cases in which a company has merely provided information which strengthens the evidence of the existence of the infringement (see, to that effect, the order in Kuwait Petroleum and Others v Commission, C‑581/12 P, EU:C:2013:772, paragraph 19).
