Judgment_paragraph 50 · R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Holdings, Inc. and Others v Commission of the European Communities (C-131/03 P)

50Thus, where an appeal merely repeats or reproduces verbatim the pleas in law and arguments submitted to the Court of First Instance, including those based on facts expressly rejected by that Court, it fails to satisfy the requirement to state reasons under those provisions (see inter alia the order in Case C-174/97 P FFSA and Others v Commission [1998] ECR I-1303, paragraph 24, and Interporc v Commission, paragraph 16).
