105However, it should be noted that, in the same paragraph of the judgment under appeal, the General Court continued its line of reasoning, stating that it is sufficient that the proportion of the value of sales to be taken into consideration, set by the Commission, is justified by other factors capable of influencing the determination of gravity pursuant to point 22 of the 2006 Guidelines, such as the nature of the infringement, the combined market share of the parties concerned and its geographic scope. The Commission relied on precisely those factors in the present case when establishing the gravity of the infringement in question, as the General Court recalled in paragraph 148 of the judgment under appeal.
