73The terms of reference cannot be regarded as a measure which concerns each tenderer individually. Like each of the other documents relating to the call for tenders issued by the contracting authority, the terms of reference apply to objectively determined situations and produce legal effects with respect to categories of persons envisaged generally and in the abstract. They are therefore of a general nature and the fact that they are sent individually to the tenderers by the contracting authority cannot distinguish each tenderer individually from any other person for the purposes of the fourth paragraph of Article 230 EC (Case T-495/04 Belfass v Council [2008] ECR II-781, paragraphs 36 to 42).
