Judgment_paragraph 67 · Buonotourist Srl v European Commission (C-586/18 P)

67In so far as, by its second ground of appeal, the appellant also challenges the General Court’s assessments in paragraphs 106 to 114 of the judgment under appeal, on the alleged existence of a PSO which the appellant is alleged to have held to exist under national law, it must be borne in mind that, in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 256(1) TFEU and the first paragraph of Article 58 of the Statute of the Court of Justice of the European Union, an appeal is limited to points of law. The General Court thus has exclusive jurisdiction to find and appraise the relevant facts and assess the evidence. The appraisal of those facts and the assessment of that evidence thus do not, save where the facts and evidence are distorted, constitute a point of law which is subject, as such, to review by the Court of Justice on appeal (see judgment of 20 December 2017, Comunidad Autónoma de Galicia and Retegal v Commission, C‑70/16 P, EU:C:2017:1002, paragraph 47 and the case-law cited).
