115In the second place, the appellants have not adduced evidence capable of proving that the Council misused its powers in adopting the October 2013 contested acts. According to the Court’s case-law, a measure is only vitiated by misuse of powers if it appears, on the basis of objective, relevant and consistent evidence to have been taken with the exclusive or main purpose of achieving an end other than that stated or of evading a procedure specifically prescribed by the Treaty for dealing with the circumstances of the case (see, to that effect, judgment of 28 March 2017, Rosneft, C‑72/15, EU:C:2017:236, paragraph 135), as was correctly pointed out by the General Court in paragraph 92 of the judgment under appeal.
