75It is true that, in paragraph 42 of the judgment of 6 October 2021, Sumal (C‑882/19, EU:C:2021:800), the Court held that, in order to hold any entity within an economic unit liable, the infringement of the competition rules concerned must be recorded in a Commission decision which has become final or established independently before the national court concerned where no decision as to the existence of an infringement has been adopted by the Commission (see, to that effect, judgment of 6 October 2021, Sumal, C‑882/19, EU:C:2021:800, paragraph 42). However, those considerations relate only to the two most obvious situations in which an action for damages may be brought.
