66It is clear from Article 225 EC and the first paragraph of Article 58 of the Statute of the Court of Justice that the appeal is limited to questions of law and that, therefore, the Court of First Instance has exclusive jurisdiction to find the facts, except where the substantive inaccuracy of its findings is apparent from the documents submitted to it, and to assess those facts. The appraisal of the facts does not constitute, save where the clear sense of the evidence produced before the Court of First Instance is distorted, a question of law which is subject, as such, to review by the Court of Justice (see, in particular, Case C-449/99 P BEI v Hautem [2001] ECR I-6733, paragraph 44; Case C-105/04 P Nederlandse Federatieve Vereniging voor de Groothandel op Elektrotechnisch Gebied v Commission [2006] ECR I-8725, paragraphs 69 and 70; and Case C-113/04 P Technische Unie v Commission [2006] ECR I-8831, paragraphs 82 and 83).
