Judgment_paragraph 100 · Vlaams Fonds voor de Sociale Integratie van Personen met een Handicap v Commission of the European Communities (T-102/00)

100According to consistent case-law, the purpose of the obligation to state the reasons on which an individual decision is based is to provide the person concerned with sufficient information to make it possible to ascertain whether the decision is well founded or whether it is vitiated by a defect which may permit its legality to be contested, and to enable the Community judicature to review the lawfulness of the decision. The extent of that obligation depends on the nature of the measure in question and on the context in which it was adopted (judgments of the Court of Justice in Case 32/86 Sisma v Commission [1987] ECR 1645, paragraph 8, Case C-181/90 Consorgan v Commission 11992] ECR I-3557, paragraph 14, and Case C-189/90 Cipeke v Commission [1992] ECR I-3573, paragraph 14; and judgments of the Court of First Instance in Case T-85/94 Branco v Commission [1995] ECR II-45, paragraph 32, Partex v Commission, cited above, paragraph 73, and Asssociação Comercial de Aveiro v Commission, cited above, paragraph 35).
