78In that connection, it must be recalled that, according to settled case-law regarding civil service matters, the European Union could be held liable for damages only if a number of conditions were satisfied as regards the illegality of the allegedly wrongful act committed by the institutions, the actual harm suffered and the existence of a causal link between the act and the damage alleged to have been suffered. Those conditions are cumulative which means that if one of them is not satisfied the European Union cannot be held non-contractually liable (judgment of 1 June 1994, Commission v Brazelli Lualdi and Others, C‑136/92 P, EU:C:1994:211, paragraph 42; see also judgments of 16 December 2010, Commission v Petrilli, T‑143/09 P, EU:T:2010:531, paragraph 45 and the case-law cited, and of 17 May 2017, PG v Frontex, T‑583/16, not published, EU:T:2017:344, paragraph 97 and the case-law cited).
