46The Commission does not dispute the findings of the General Court concerning the trustee’s lack of independence for the reason that that is a question of fact. On the other hand, the Commission claims that the General Court erred in failing to examine whether that lack of independence actually had an effect on the contested decision or whether, without that irregularity, the content of the contested decision might have been different. According to the Commission, the trustee’s situation did not affect the objectivity of the assessment which he presented in his report on the purchaser of the Éditis assets and, consequently, the legality of the contested decision.
