17With regard to the Community’s non-contractual liability, such disputes fall within the jurisdiction of the Court of Justice. Article 235 EC provides that the Court of Justice has jurisdiction to hear and determine actions seeking compensation for damage brought under the second paragraph of Article 288 EC, which covers such non-contractual liability. That jurisdiction of the Community Courts is exclusive (see, to that effect, inter alia, Case C-282/90 Vreugdenhil v Commission [1992] ECR I-1937, paragraph 14, and Case C-275/00 First and Franex [2002] ECR I-10943, paragraph 43 and the case-law cited).
