88It is apparent from the documents before the Court that the allegation that the applicant was involved in nuclear proliferation affected the way in which third parties, located for the most part outside the European Union, behaved towards it. Those effects, which lasted for almost three years and are the cause of the non-material damage suffered by the applicant, cannot be wholly offset by a subsequent finding that the contested acts are unlawful, given that the adoption of restrictive measures against an entity tends to attract more attention and provoke a greater reaction, in particular outside the European Union, than does their subsequent annulment.
