31It is also settled case-law that, as regards judicial review of the observance of the abovementioned conditions, the Community legislature has, in matters concerning the common agricultural policy, a discretionary power which corresponds to the political responsibilities placed upon it by Article 40 of the EC Treaty (now, after amendment, Article 34 EC), Articles 41 and 42 of the EC Treaty (now Articles 35 EC and 36 EC) and Article 43 of the EC Treaty (now, after amendment, Article 37 EC). Consequently, the legality of a measure adopted in this area can be affected only if the measure is manifestly inappropriate having regard to the objective which the competent institution is seeking to pursue (Fedesa and Others, cited above, paragraph 14, and United Kingdom ν Commission, paragraph 97).
