10According to the scheme and the wording of that article an application for a hearing, and the assessment by the Court of the benefits of a hearing, can only take place once the written procedure is closed and the parties and the Court are in possession of the complete case file and the arguments raised by all the parties, and are thus in a position to decide whether a hearing would be useful. Moreover, lodgement of an application for a hearing before notification of the closure of the written procedure cannot be justified on the grounds of economy of procedure since, pursuant to Article 135a of the Rules of Procedure, the Court may decide to rule without an oral procedure only after closure of the written procedure and after giving the parties the opportunity to take advantage of that provision.
