133Finally, since they are capable of having an influence over the entire course of an official’s career, appraisal reports are acts adversely affecting that official. The case-law according to which an appraisal report is an act which may be subject to an action for annulment satisfies the need for sound administrative management, since, if that were not the case, the person concerned would have no opportunity to expose any defects of such a report other than in actions brought against an act for whose adoption the report in question played a role. Such a situation would be capable of delaying the adoption of important decisions concerning officials (judgment of 16 March 2009, R v Commission, T‑156/08 P, EU:T:2009:69, paragraphs 53 and 54).
