265It is settled case-law that the jurisdiction of the General Court under Article 256(1) TFEU and Article 272 TFEU to deal with an action based on an arbitration clause necessarily implies jurisdiction to deal with a counterclaim made in the context of the same action which derives from the contractual relationship or the situation on which the main application is based or has a direct link with the obligations deriving therefrom (see, to this effect, Commission v Zoubek, paragraph 73 above, paragraph 11; Case C-167/99 Parliament v SERS and Ville de Strasbourg [2003] ECR I-3269, paragraphs 95 to 104; order of 21 November 2003 in Case C‑280/03 Commission v Lior and Others, not published in the ECR, paragraphs 8 and 9; and Case T-29/02 GEF v Commission [2005] ECR II-835, paragraph 73).
