86Nor has the appellant provided evidence capable of establishing a misuse of powers on the part of the Council. According to the case-law of the Court of Justice, a measure is vitiated by misuse of powers only if it appears, on the basis of objective, relevant and consistent evidence, to have been taken solely, or at the very least chiefly, for ends other than those for which the power in question was conferred or with the aim of evading a procedure specifically prescribed by the Treaties for dealing with the circumstances of the case (judgment of 28 March 2017, Rosneft, C‑72/15, EU:C:2017:236, paragraph 135 and the case-law cited). In addition, the General Court found, in paragraph 144 of the judgment under appeal, that the reinstatement of the appellant on the lists at issue was aimed at implementing the objectives of the provisions of Decision 2010/413 and of Regulation No 267/2012. Thus the General Court was correct to reject, in paragraph 146 of the judgment under appeal, the plea alleging misuse of powers and infringement of the principle of sound administration.
