14In that regard, it should be borne in mind that, on 27 February 1992, the General Court declared that a Commission decision relating to a cartel between polyvinylchloride (PVC) manufacturers was non-existent because that decision had not been properly ‘authenticated’ (Joined Cases T-79/89, T-84/89, T-85/89, T-86/89, T-89/89, T-91/89, T-92/89, T-94/89, T-96/89, T-98/89, T-102/89 and T-104/89BASF and Others v Commission [1992] ECR II-315). In the cases referred to in paragraph 13 above, in which it was the applicant, Solvay lodged ‘supplementary applications’ in which it put forward a new plea in law to the effect that the decision, which it had initially sought to have annulled, should be declared non-existent, referring to two press articles from which it appeared that the Commission admitted that it had not authenticated a decision for 25 years.
