101In the third place, as regards the plea raised by the applicant in the reply, alleging infringement of Article 25(5) of Regulation No 1/2003, it should be borne in mind that, under Article 76 of the Rules of Procedure of the Court, the application must inter alia contain a summary of the pleas in law on which it is based. In addition, in accordance with settled case-law, irrespective of any question of terminology, that summary must be sufficiently clear and precise to enable the defendant to prepare its defence and the Court to rule on the application, even without further information. It is necessary, for an action to be admissible, that the basic legal and factual particulars relied on be indicated, at least in summary form, coherently and intelligibly in the application itself, so as to guarantee legal certainty and sound administration of justice (see judgment of 27 September 2006 in Roquette Frères v Commission, T‑322/01, ECR, EU:T:2006:267, paragraph 208 and the case-law cited). Still following settled case-law, any plea which is not adequately articulated in the application initiating the proceedings must be held inadmissible. Similar requirements apply where a submission is made in support of a plea in law. In the case of an absolute bar to proceeding, such inadmissibility may be raised by the Court of its own motion if need be (see judgment of 14 December 2005 in Honeywell v Commission, T‑209/01, ECR, EU:T:2005:455, paragraphs 54 and 55 and the case-law cited).
