107With regard to the Council’s alternative claim, seeking that the effects of the contested decision be maintained until the expiry of the period of time allowed for bringing an appeal and, in the event that an appeal is lodged, until the decision ruling on that appeal, it is sufficient to observe that the contested decision was effective only until 6 March 2018. Consequently, the annulment of that decision by this judgment has no effect on the period after that date, so that it is not necessary to rule on the question of maintaining the effects of that decision (see, to that effect and by analogy, judgment of 28 January 2016, Azarov v Council, T‑331/14, EU:T:2016:49, paragraphs 70 to 72).
