85As regards the Commission’s objection of inadmissibility on the basis that the argument regarding a difference in the treatment of two essentially similar situations, invoked by the applicant in Case T-297/06, was new in the sense that it was not invoked by the latter at first instance but only by the applicants in Case T-273/06, it is sufficient to note that, since a party must be able to challenge all the grounds for a judgment adversely affecting it, where the General Court has joined two cases and given a single judgment which answers all the pleas submitted by the parties to the proceedings before the Court, each of those parties may criticise the reasoning concerning pleas which, before the General Court, were raised only by the applicant in the other joined case (judgment of 29 November 2007 in Case C-176/06 P Stadtwerke Schwäbisch Hall and Others v Commission, paragraph 17; see also, by analogy, Case C-348/06 P Commission v Girardot [2008] ECR I-833, paragraph 50).
