49It should be pointed out that that is not the purpose of the limitation period prescribed in that provision. In accordance with settled case-law, that period has the function, first, of ensuring protection of the rights of the aggrieved person, who must have sufficient time in which to gather the appropriate information with a view to a possible action, and, second, of preventing the aggrieved person from being able to delay the exercise of his right to damages indefinitely (judgment of 8 November 2012, Evropaïki Dynamiki v Commission, C‑469/11 P, EU:C:2012:705, paragraphs 33 and 53 and the case-law cited).
