39In the present case, the judgment of 20 December 2017, Comunidad Autónoma de Galicia et Retegal v Commission (C‑70/16 P, EU:C:2017:1002), cannot be considered as a matter of law which came to light in the course of the procedure. It is apparent, in particular from paragraphs 59 and 61, that the judgment merely confirms the requirements concerning the statement of reasons for the examination of the condition relative to the selectivity of an aid measure, arising from the judgments of 21 December 2016, Commission v Hansestadt Lübeck (C‑524/14 P, EU:C:2016:971), and Commission v World Duty Free Group and Others (C‑20/15 P and C‑21/15 P, EU:C:2016:981), delivered before this appeal was brought by the Kingdom of Spain. A judgment which merely confirms a legal position known to the appellant at the time when an appeal is brought cannot be considered as a matter allowing a new ground of appeal to be submitted.
