49In that connection, the Court finds that, in referring to the case-law of this Court, the General Court was fully entitled to find that, first, an applicant cannot have a legitimate interest in annulment of a decision where it is already certain that that decision which concerns it cannot be other than reconfirmed (see, to that effect, Case 432/85 Souna v Commission [1987] ECR 2229, paragraph 20) and, second, a plea for annulment is inadmissible on the ground of lack of interest in bringing proceedings where, even if it were well founded, annulment of the contested act on the basis of that plea would not give the applicant satisfaction (see, to that effect, Case 37/72 Marcato v Commission [1973] ECR 361, paragraphs 2 to 8).
