67It is in application of that case-law that the General Court stated, in paragraph 200 of the judgment under appeal, that, in contractual contexts, the Commission does not have the right to adopt unilateral measures and that it is not entitled to address any measure having the nature of a decision to the co-contractor concerned with a view to the latter’s performance of its contractual obligations of a financial nature, but that it is required, where appropriate, to bring a claim for payment before the court having jurisdiction. The General Court rightly inferred, in paragraph 201 of that judgment, that, pursuant to a grant agreement, the Commission could not adopt a unilateral measure seeking to recover a contractual debt.
