27They also note that, by stating in paragraph 45 of the judgment under appeal that Sanabel Relief Agency has not been subject to restrictive measures since 17 October 2013, the General Court seems to have adopted an entirely different legal basis for its decision not to accept that Sanabel Relief Agency has the capacity to maintain legal proceedings. It thus considered that the case-law derived from the judgment of 18 January 2007, PKK and KNK v Council (C‑229/05 P, EU:C:2007:32), according to which an entity must be accepted as existing in law in so far as it is subject to restrictive measures, did not apply to a charitable body like Sanabel Relief Agency, since that body had not been subject to restrictive measures since 17 October 2013. They also submit that the General Court should have asked Sanabel Relief Agency to establish its legal interest, since it had asked the natural persons among the appellants to do so.
