The Supreme Court overturned the lower court's judgment, resulting in the annulment of the Competition Council's decision. The Council had found the defendant dominant in a specific market and imposed restrictions, but the court determined this violated EU competition law principles regarding abuse of dominance. Consequently, the court ruled that the Council failed to provide sufficient justification for its findings, leading to the decision's invalidation.
