54The Court recalls that it has consistently been held that for applicants to be able to claim compensation for damage, they must show fault on the part of the institution, the fact of certain and quantifiable damage, and a causal link between the wrongful act and the damage complained of (judgments of the Court of Justice in Case C-308/87Grifoni v EAEC [1990] ECR I-1203, paragraph 6, Joined Cases C-258/90 and C-259/90Pesquerías de Bermeo and Naviera Laida v Commission [1992] ECR I-2901, paragraph 42, and Case C-146/91KYDEP v Council and Commission [1994] I-4199, paragraph 19). In the present case, the Court finds that it follows from the foregoing that the competition procedure was conducted in a proper and lawful manner, and that no fault whatever has been established on the part of the Council.
