59In support of its plea of inadmissibility, the Commission maintains that the application was out of time. It observes that, according to a consistent line of decisions, first, it is for a party who has knowledge of a decision concerning it to request the whole text thereof within a reasonable period and, second, the period for bringing an action can begin to run from the moment when the third party concerned acquires precise knowledge of the content of the decision in question and of the reasons on which it is based in such a way as to enable it to exercise its right of action (Case 236/86 Dillinger Hüttenwerke v Commission [1988] ECR 3761; order of 5 March 1993 in Case C-102/92 Ferriere Acciaierie Sarde v Commission [1993] ECR I-801, paragraph 19; Opinion of Advocate General Cosmas in Case C-309/95 Commission v Council [1998] ECR I-655, at p. 657, paragraphs 35 and 38; and Case T-465/93 Consorzio Gruppo di Azione Locale ‘Murgià Messapica’ v Commission [1994] ECR II-361).
