55Regarding the substance, and more specifically the issue of the representation of a party not covered by the first two paragraphs of Article 19 of the Statute before the Courts of the European Union, the General Court correctly recalled, in paragraph 16 of the order under appeal, that that article contains two separate, but cumulative, conditions. Thus, the first condition, set out in the third paragraph of that article, lays down the requirement for such a party to be represented by a lawyer. The second condition, contained in the fourth paragraph of that article, provides that the lawyer representing that party must be authorised to practise before a court of a Member State or of another State which is a party to the EEA Agreement (see, to that effect, order of 20 February 2008, Comunidad Autónoma de Valencia v Commission, C‑363/06 P, not published, EU:C:2008:99, paragraph 21).
