72In their submission, at the time when the acts at issue were adopted, the Commission simply gave the appearance of reviewing the file. In essence, it observed only in the most formal sense the appellants’ rights of defence, and did not envisage calling into question the Sanctions Committee’s findings in the light of their observations, conduct which the General Court had already had occasion to condemn in its judgment of 30 September 2010, Kadi v Commission (T‑85/09, EU:T:2010:418, paragraph 71), and subsequently in its judgments of 21 March 2014, Yusef v Commission (T‑306/10, EU:T:2014:141, paragraphs 103 and 104), and of 14 April 2015, Ayadi v Commission (T‑527/09 RENV, not published, EU:T:2015:205, paragraphs 72 and 73). They submit that the fact that the Commission made no approach to the United Kingdom — although that was the Member State responsible for their inclusion on the lists of persons subject to fund-freezing measures and it no longer supported their re-listing when the acts at issue were adopted — is evidence of that conduct.
