265In that regard, it should be pointed out that, although the principle of presumption of innocence is enshrined in Article 48 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, which, pursuant to Article 6 TEU, has the same legal value as the Treaties, the origin of the settlement procedure is to be found in a regulation adopted by the Commission alone, on the basis of Article 33 of Regulation No 1/2003, namely Regulation No 622/2008, and that the procedure is optional for both the Commission and the undertakings concerned.
