101The fact that an undertaking cannot plead the illegality of the inspection procedures as a ground for annulment of an inspection decision merely reflects the general principle that the legality of a measure must be assessed in the light of the circumstances of law and of fact existing at the time when the decision was adopted, so that the validity of a decision cannot be affected by acts subsequent to its adoption (order of 30 October 2003, Akzo Nobel Chemicals and Akcros Chemicals v Commission, T‑125/03 R and T‑253/03 R, EU:T:2003:287, paragraphs 68 and 69; see also, to that effect, judgment of 17 October 2019, Alcogroup and Alcodis v Commission, C‑403/18 P, EU:C:2019:870, paragraphs 45 and 46 and the case-law cited).
