24It is appropriate to recall that the Court may of its own motion, or on a proposal from the Advocate General, or at the request of the parties, reopen the oral procedure, in accordance with Article 61 of its Rules of Procedure, if it considers that it lacks sufficient information, or that the case must be dealt with on the basis of an argument which has not been debated between the parties (see the order in Case C-17/98 Emesa Sugar [2000] ECR I-665, paragraph 18, and the judgments in Case C-309/99 Wouters and Others [2002] ECR I-1577, paragraph 42, and Case C-147/02 Alabaster [2004] ECR I-3101, paragraph 35).
