79First of all, the Commission's application for the rejection of the legal opinion produced by the applicants in Case T-245/03 as inadmissible must fail. It must be observed that all the documents lodged with the application are necessarily placed on the file. Whether the applicant may plead certain of those documents or whether the Court may take them into consideration is a different question. It must be observed that the body of the application may be supported and supplemented on specific points by references to extracts from documents annexed to it, provided that the essential submissions in law appear in the application itself (see, to that effect, Case T-87/05 EDP v Commission [2005] ECR II-3745, paragraph 155, and Case T-209/01 Honeywell v Commission [2005] ECR II-5527, paragraph 57). In the present case, the Court considers that the applicants sufficiently explained in their pleadings their argument that the disputed agreement should be regarded as a regulatory measure. Therefore the annex in question serves only to support and supplement that argument. Consequently, the applicant was entitled to plead it.
