Judgment_paragraph 53 · Honeywell International, Inc. v Commission of the European Communities (T-209/01)

53Without formally raising a plea of inadmissibility, the Commission has argued that some specific aspects of the action are inadmissible. In any event, the Court observes that it is settled case-law that the conditions for the admissibility of an action concern an absolute bar to proceeding with the action which the Court may and must consider of its own motion should such an issue arise (orders of 15 September 1998 in Case T-100/94 Michailidis and Others v Commission [1998] ECR II-3115, paragraph 49, and of 25 October 2001 in Case T-354/00 Métropole Télévision — M 6 v Commission [2001] ECR II-3177, paragraph 27; see also, to that effect, the order of 5 July 2001 in Case C-341/00 P Conseil national des professions de l'automobile and Others v Commission [2001] ECR I-5263, paragraph 32).
