Judgment_paragraph 65 · Atlanta AG and others v Commission of the European Communities and Council of the European Union (C-104/97 P)

65In response to that plea, it is sufficient to state that, according to settled case-law (see, in particular, Case C-146/91 KYDEP ν Council and Commission [1994] ECR I-4199, paragraph 19), non-contractual liability on the part of the Community under the second paragraph of Article 215 of the Treaty is subject to a number of conditions relating to the illegality of the conduct alleged against the Community institutions, actual damage and the existence of a causal link between the conduct of the institution and the damage complained of. If any one of those conditions is not satisfied, the entire action must be dismissed and it is unnecessary to consider the other conditions for non-contractual liability on the part of the Community (Case C-146/91 KYDEP ν Council and Commission, paragraph 81).
