(105) As regards the probative value of the various items of evidence, the sole criterion for evaluating the evidence adduced is its reliability (see, for example, judgment of 13 September 2013, Total Raffinage Marketing v Commission, T-566/08, EU:T:2013:423, paragraph 43). The nature of the procedure at hand plays a role in this respect. In particular in merger control, the case law of EU courts establishes that in view of the need for speed and the very tight deadlines to which the Commission is subject, it cannot be required to verify all the information it receives, in the absence of evidence indicating that information provided to it is inaccurate. See judgment of 20 October 2021, Polskie Linie Lotnicze ‘LOT’ v Commission, T-240/18, EU:T:2021:723, paragraphs 87 and 88 and case law cited.
