81The Commission denies any breach of Community principles and rules of such a kind as to give rise to the annulment of the contested decision and thus to cause it to incur non-contractual liability in any way. Even if the decision were to be annulled, the Commission adds, it would not incur liability unless it had committed a sufficiently serious breach of a superior rule of law for the protection of the individual or had manifestly and gravely disregarded the limits imposed on its powers (Case T-120/89Stahlwerke Peine-Salzgitter v Commission [1991] ECR II-279, paragraph 74).
