The Court of First Instance rightly held, in paragraph 35 of the judgment under appeal, that in Community competition law the definition of an ‘undertaking’ covers any entity engaged in an economic activity, regardless of the legal status of that entity and the way in which it is financed (Case C-41/90 Höfnerand Elser [1991] ECR I-1979, paragraph 21, and Joined Cases

...
The
...
Court
...
of
...
First
...
Instance
...
rightly
...
deduced,
...
in
...
paragraph
...
36
...
of
...
the
...
judgment
...
under
...
appeal,
...
that
...
there
...
is
...
no
...
need
...
to
...
dissociate
...
the
...
activity
...
of
...
purchasing
...
goods
...
from
...
the
...
subsequent
...
use
...
to
...
which
...
they
...
are
...
put
...
in
...
order
...
to
...
determine
...
the
...
nature
...
of
...
that
...
purchasing
...
activity,
...
and
...
that
...
the
...
nature
...
of
...
the
...
purchasing
...
activity
...
must
...
be
...
determined
...
according
...
to
...
whether
...
or
...
not
...
the
...
subsequent
...
use
...
of
...
the
...
purchased
...
goods
...
amounts
...
to
...
an
...
economic
...
activity.
...
It
...
follows
...
that
...
the
...
first
...
part
...
of
...
the
...
single
...
plea
...
raised
...
by
...
FENIN
...
in
...
support
...
of
...
its
...
appeal,
...
that
...
the
...
purchasing
...
activity
...
of
...
the
...
SNS
...
management
...
bodies
...
constitutes
...
an
...
economic
...
activity
...
in
...
itself,
...
dissociable
...
from
...
the
...
service
...
subsequently
...
provided
...
and
...
which,
...
as
...
such,
...
should
...
have
...
been
...
examined
...
separately
...
by
...
the
...
Court
...
of
...
First
...
Instance,
...
must
...
be
...
dismissed
...
as
...
unfounded.
...
Having
...
regard
...
to
...
the
...
foregoing
...
considerations,
...
the
...
appeal
...
must
...
be
...
dismissed
...
as
...
partly
...
inadmissible
...
and
...
partly
...
unfounded.
