Judgment_paragraph 47 · Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami and Others v European Parliament and Council of the European Union (C-583/11 P)

47However, provided that the appellant challenges the interpretation or application of European Union law by the General Court, the points of law examined at first instance may be argued again in the course of an appeal. Indeed, if an appellant could not thus base his appeal on pleas in law and arguments already relied on before the General Court, an appeal would be deprived of part of its purpose (Case C-131/03 P Reynolds Tobacco and Others v Commission [2006] ECR I-7795, paragraph 51 and the case-law cited).
