79Furthermore, contrary to what Lundbeck alleges in the second part of the present ground, the General Court did not reverse the burden of proof to the detriment of Lundbeck in paragraph 254 of the judgment under appeal. In that paragraph of the judgment under appeal, the General Court confined itself, in essence, to finding that Lundbeck had not provided sufficient evidence to call into question the conclusions arising from the evidence adduced by the Commission in the decision at issue. According to the settled case-law of the Court of Justice, in matters of liability for an infringement of the competition rules, the factual evidence on which a party relies may be of such a kind as to require the other party to provide an explanation or justification, failing which it is permissible to conclude that the burden of proof has been discharged (judgments of 1 July 2010, Knauf Gips v Commission, C‑407/08 P, EU:C:2010:389, paragraph 80, and of 18 January 2017, Toshiba v Commission, C‑623/15 P, not published, EU:C:2017:21, paragraph 52).
