KronoGroup claims that the Commission, when calculating whether the market was in decline, should use data for the period until 1999 as such data were already available at the time of the initial approval decision (July 2001) which was later annulled by the General Court.
KronoGroup väidab, et languses oleva turu kindlakstegemiseks oleks komisjon pidanud lähtuma 1999. aastale eelnenud perioodi andmetest, kuna need andmed olid juba olemas ajal, mil tehti esialgne heakskiitev otsus (juuli 2001), mille Üldkohus hiljem tühistas.
