62Thirdly, the appellant disputes, in the first place, the arguments of the General Court, in paragraph 41 of the judgment under appeal, drawn from the judgment of 27 November 2012, Pringle (C‑370/12, EU:C:2012:756). The General Court erred in law by comparing the measure proposed by the ECI at issue and the European Stability Mechanism (‘the ESM’), specifically referred to in that judgment and fundamentally different from that measure. The purpose of the proposed ECI at issue is simply to include in EU legislation the principle of the state of necessity in the light of the severe difficulties of the Hellenic Republic arising from its debt and not to create a financing mechanism such as the ESM.
