Judgment_paragraph 79 · Council of the European Union v European Commission (C-409/13)

79In accordance with settled case-law, the question whether the statement of reasons for a decision meets the requirements of Article 296 TFEU must be assessed with regard not only to its wording but also to its context (see, to this effect, judgments in Delacre and Others v Commission, C‑350/88, EU:C:1990:71, paragraph 16 and the case-law cited, and Council v Bamba, C‑417/11 P, EU:C:2012:718, paragraph 53 and the case-law cited). In particular, the reasons given for a measure adversely affecting persons are sufficient if that measure was adopted in a context which was known to them (see, to this effect, judgment in Council v Bamba, C‑417/11 P, EU:C:2012:718, paragraph 54 and the case-law cited).
