21In that regard, it is clear from the case-law that evidence in rebuttal and the amplification of previous evidence, submitted in response to evidence in rebuttal put forward by the opposing party in his defence, are not covered by the time-bar rule in Article 85(1) of the Rules of Procedure of the General Court, which provides that evidence produced or offered is to be submitted in the first exchange of pleadings. Indeed, that provision concerns fresh evidence and must be read in the light of Article 92(7) of the Rules of Procedure, which expressly provides that evidence may be submitted in rebuttal and previous evidence may be amplified (judgment of 22 June 2017, Biogena Naturprodukte v EUIPO (ZUM wohl), T‑236/16, EU:T:2017:416, paragraph 17; see also, by analogy, judgments of 17 December 1998, Baustahlgewebe v Commission, C‑185/95 P, EU:C:1998:608, paragraph 72, and of 12 September 2012, Italy v Commission, T‑394/06, not published, EU:T:2012:417, paragraph 45).
