76The defendants contend that the principle of sound administration was complied with scrupulously in this case. Where the Community legislature is obliged, in connection with the adoption of rules, to assess their future effects, which cannot be accurately foreseen, its assessment is open to criticism only if it appears manifestly incorrect in the light of the information available to it at the time of the adoption of the rules in question (Joined Cases C-267/88 to C-285/88 Wuidart and Others [1990] ECR I-435, paragraph 14, and Case C-280/93 Germany v Council [1994] ECR I-4973, paragraph 90). In the present case, the applicants have merely made general statements about their disagreement with the weighing of interests at issue by the Community institutions, without proving that the relevant provisions were, at the time they were adopted, manifestly incorrect (see, to that effect, KYDEP v Council and Commission, paragraph 47).
