35When, in the exercise of that discretion, the Commission decides to assign different priorities to the examination of complaints submitted to it, the Commission may not only decide on the order in which they are to be examined, but also reject a complaint on the ground that there is an insufficient European Union interest in further investigation of the case (judgments of 24 January 1995, Tremblay and Others v Commission, T‑5/93, EU:T:1995:12, paragraph 60, and of 14 February 2001, Sodima v Commission, T‑62/99, EU:T:2001:53, paragraph 36). As the assessment of the European Union interest raised by a complaint concerning competition depends on the factual and legal circumstances in each case (judgment of 12 July 2007, AEPI v Commission, T‑229/05, not published, EU:T:2007:224, paragraph 38), the number of assessment criteria to which the Commission may refer should not be limited, nor, conversely, should the Commission be required to have recourse exclusively to certain criteria (judgments of 17 May 2001, IECC v Commission, C‑450/98 P, EU:C:2001:276, paragraph 58, and of 16 January 2008, Scippacercola and Terezakis v Commission, T‑306/05, not published, EU:T:2008:9, paragraph 189).
