48The Court notes, first, that the Commission explained the procedure for the submission of projects for financial support under the Thermie programme in the information brochure referred to in the communication inviting interested parties to submit projects, published in the Official Journal on 16 July 1992 (see paragraph 3 above). That document states: ‘Once the proposal has been submitted, proposers are invited not to submit any supplementary information to the Commission unless specifically requested by the Commission services’. Furthermore, it is in accordance with the procedure in financial support programmes for candidates for such support not to be given a hearing during the selection procedure, which is conducted on the basis of the documentation submitted by them. That procedure is appropriate in situations where hundreds of applications must be evaluated and it therefore does not constitute an infringement of the right to a hearing.
