45Next, the statement of reasons for the contested measures is admittedly very brief regarding the nature of the revenue in question, since it merely states that it is derived from the energy sector. The fact none the less remains that, both in the letters addressed to the Council and in the application, the applicant was able to challenge the validity of the inclusion of its name by arguing, in particular, that its activities in the energy sector did not constitute a source of revenue for the Iranian Government, but, on the contrary, required the input of public funds in the form of subsidies. In those circumstances, while it is accepted that more detailed reasons would have been preferable, it must be concluded that the statement of reasons made it possible for the applicant to ascertain, with sufficient clarity, the justification given for the restrictive measures to which it was subject and to challenge it. Similarly, that statement of reasons enables the Court to review the legality of the contested measures.
