Judgment_paragraph 50 · Commission of the European Communities v CEVA Santé Animale SA and Pfizer Enterprises Sàrl (C-198/03 P)

50While it is for the Court of First Instance alone to assess the value to be attached to the items of evidence adduced before it, and while it cannot be required to give express reasons for its assessment of the value of each piece of evidence presented to it, in particular where it considers that evidence to be unimportant or irrelevant to the outcome of the dispute (Case C-237/98 P Dorsch Consult v Council and Commission [2000] ECR I-4549, paragraphs 50 and 51), the Court of First Instance is none the less obligated to provide reasons which will allow the Court to exercise its judicial review. Those reasons must make it possible for the Court to review any distortion of the evidence submitted to the Court of First Instance.
