Judgment_paragraph 42 · Roger Tremblay and François Lucazeau and Harry Kestenberg v Commission of the European Communities (T-5/93)

42The Court considers that a contradiction in the statement of the reasons on which a decision is based constitutes a breach of the obligation laid down in Article 190 of the Treaty such as to affect the validity of the measure in question if it is established that, as a result of that contradiction, the addressee of the measure is not in a position to ascertain, wholly or in part, the real reasons for the decision and, as a result, the operative part of the decision is, wholly or in part, devoid of any legal justification (see in particular the judgment of the Court of Justice in Case 158/80 REWE v Hauptzollamt Kiel [1981] ECR 1805, paragraph 26).
