57By holding, in paragraph 111 of the judgment under appeal, following reasoning supporting, inter alia, the judgment in Printeos, that the Commission had infringed the first paragraph of Article 266 TFEU by refusing to pay interest to Deutsche Telekom on the amount of the fine unduly collected in respect of the relevant period, the General Court did not therefore err in law. It merely reaffirmed, as did the judgment in Printeos, the principles, recalled in paragraphs 51 to 56 above, stemming from settled case-law, to which there is no need to return.
