As for the criterion of specificity, Belgium indicates that, contrary to what the Commission argued in its decision to open the procedure, the mere fact that the settlement agreement related only to Umicore is not enough to claim that the criterion of specificity has been fulfilled [40].
Erisuse kriteeriumi kohta täpsustab Belgia, et vastupidiselt sellele, mida komisjon on väitnud oma menetluse algatamise otsuses, ei võimalda pelk tõsiasi, et kokkulepe on seotud vaid Umicore’iga, väita valikulisuse kriteeriumi täitmist [40].
