The operative part identifies the addressee(s) of the decision and, for example, makes a finding of infringement and/or imposes penalties and/or requires the persons to whom the decision is addressed to bring the infringement to the end. The statement of reasons, which normally precedes the operative part, contains what are called the recitals to the decision, setting out the factual and legal assessment which the Commission has made in reaching its decision.
