120It must, however, be recalled that, in accordance with settled case-law, the extent of the requirement to state reasons depends on the nature of the measure in question, and that, in the case of measures intended to have general application, the statement of reasons may be limited to indicating the general situation which led to the measure’s adoption, on the one hand, and the general objectives which it is intended to achieve, on the other (judgment of 19 November 1998, Spain v Council, C‑284/94, EU:C:1998:548, paragraph 28 and the case-law cited).
