Judgment_paragraph 88 · Giovanni Pesce and Others v Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri - Dipartimento della Protezione Civile and Others (C-78/16, C-79/16)

88It should be noted that, while the statement of reasons required by Article 296 TFEU must show clearly and unequivocally the reasoning of the EU authority which adopted the contested measure, so as to enable the persons concerned to ascertain the reasons for it and to enable the Court to exercise judicial review, it is not required to go into every relevant point of fact and law (see judgment of 18 June 2015 in Estonia v Parliament and Council, C‑508/13, EU:C:2015:403, paragraph 58). This is a fortiori the case where the Member States have been closely associated with the process of drafting that measure and are thus aware of the reasons underlying it (see, inter alia, judgment of 9 September 2004, Spain v Commission, C‑304/01, EU:C:2004:495, paragraph 50).
