58In that regard, with respect to the admissibility of that plea in law, in paragraphs 53 and 54 of the judgment under appeal, the General Court held that the judgment in AJD Tuna (EU:C:2011:153), delivered by the Court of Justice on a date after that when the action was brought, had to be considered to be a factor allowing a new plea in law to be raised, since that judgment has changed the legal situation which existed at the time that the application was lodged. Indeed, the General Court found that, following the judgment in AJD Tuna (EU:C:2011:153), Regulation No 530/2008 has been invalidated in its entirety and ceased to produce legal effects under the application of the presumption of legality.
