85In that regard, it must be pointed out that, where the amount of the fine which the Commission had imposed on Deutsche Telekom, and which that undertaking had provisionally paid to it, was reduced by the General Court, the Commission cannot be placed in a more favourable position than that in which Deutsche Telekom would have found itself if its action had been dismissed after having chosen, rather than making such a provisional payment, to provide a bank guarantee pending the outcome of the legal proceedings initiated by its action. In the latter situation, Deutsche Telekom would have been exposed to interest calculated at the rate of 1.55%, in accordance with Article 83(4) of Delegated Regulation No 1268/2012, in addition to the costs of providing that bank guarantee.
