103In addition, failure to comply with the procedural rules relating to the adoption of an act adversely affecting an individual constitutes an infringement of essential procedural requirements (see, to that effect, the judgment in United Kingdom v Council, 68/86, EU:C:1988:85, paragraphs 48 and 49), which it is a matter for the Union judicature to raise, even of its own motion (see, to that effect, the judgments in Commission v ICI, C‑286/95 P, EU:C:2000:188, paragraph 51, and Commission v Solvay, C‑287/95 P and C‑288/95 P, EU:C:2000:189, paragraph 55). The fact that the Commission did not adopt the decision at issue within the period set by the Union legislature constitutes an infringement of essential procedural requirements.
