26As to the second plea, essentially alleging that the fact that there is no analysis of the descriptiveness for each of the goods referred to, it must be borne in mind that, according to settled case-law, although the decision to refuse to register a trade mark must in principle state reasons in respect of each of the goods or services concerned, the competent authority may, where the same ground of refusal is given for a category or group of goods or services, use only general reasoning for all of the goods and services which are sufficiently directly and specifically connected, to the point that they comprise a category or group of goods of sufficient homogeneity (see judgment in SLIM BELLY, cited at paragraph 16 supra, EU:T:2013:226, paragraph 33; see also, to this effect, order of 18 March 2010 in CFCMCEE v OHIM, Case C‑282/09 P, ECR, EU:C:2010:153, paragraphs 37 to 40; and to this effect, and by analogy, judgment of 15 February 2007 in BVBA Management, Training en Consultancy, ECR, C‑239/05, EU:C:2007:99, paragraphs 34 to 38).
