9Next, the applicant observes that the defendant's objection of inadmissibility is based entirely upon a line of case-law which began with the judgment of the Court of Justice in Adams v Commission (Case 294/84 [1986] ECR 977). She points out that in his Opinions in Gavanas v ESC and Council (Case 307/85 [1987] ECR 2435 at pp. 2444, 2448 and 2449) and Sergio and Others v Commission (Cases 64/86, 71/86 to 73/86 and 78/86 [1988] ECR 1399, at pp. 1410 and 1417) Advocate General Lenz criticized the Adams case and proposed that the Court of Justice should return to its previous case-law.
