Judgment_paragraph 65 · Commission of the European Communities v Chambre syndicale nationale des entreprises de transport de fonds et valeurs (Sytraval) and Brink's France SARL (C-367/95 P)

65It is in the light of those findings regarding the scope of the Commission's obligations in investigating the case and in stating reasons for the contested decision that the Court must appraise the arguments of the Commission and of the interveners to the effect that the Court of First Instance treated the purely procedural requirement to state reasons as a matter concerning the substantive legality of the decision and that, on the basis of an alleged insufficiency of reasoning, it was in fact criticising the Commission for having committed a manifest error of assessment attributable to the inadequacy of the investigation carried out by that institution.
