76In that regard, contrary to the finding made by the General Court in paragraph 47 of the order under appeal, the appellants cannot be required to show that, under national law, Geodis could in fact be held responsible for the damage alleged solely on the basis of the takeover of the assets of the Sernam group. It is not for the EU Courts, for the purpose of determining an interest in bringing proceedings before them, to assess the likelihood that an action brought before the national courts under national law is well founded and, therefore, to substitute itself for those courts in making such an assessment. It is, by contrast, necessary, but sufficient, that, by its outcome, the action for annulment brought before the EU Courts would be capable of benefiting the party which brought it. That is so in this case, as follows from paragraphs 74 and 75 of the present judgment.
