25The plea of illegality referred to by Article 277 TFEU must be interpreted broadly as including all measures of general application (judgment of 26 October 1993 in Reinarz v Commission, T‑6/92 and T‑52/92, ECR, EU:T:1993:89, paragraph 56). It must also extend to acts which, although not formally constituting the legal basis for the contested act, have a direct legal link with it (see, to that effect, judgment of 13 December 2006 in FNCBV and Others v Commission, T‑217/03 and T‑245/03, ECR, EU:T:2006:391, paragraph 250 and the case-law cited).
