Judgment_paragraph 111 · AceaElectrabel Produzione SpA v European Commission (C-480/09 P)

111It is apparent from the case-file that that argument did not expand on an argument raised previously, whether directly or by implication, in the original application which is closely connected to the original complaint. However, Articles 48(2) of the Rules of Procedure of the General Court provides that no new plea in law may be introduced in the course of proceedings unless it is based on matters of law or of fact which come to light in the course of the procedure (see, to that effect, the judgment of 12 November 2009 in Case C-564/08 P SGL Carbon v Commission, C-564/08 P, paragraphs 20 to 34).
