44In that regard, it should be noted, first, that in paragraph 97 of the judgment under appeal, the General Court interpreted to that effect the fact that, in Article 1(1) and (2) of the decision at issue, the Commission had formally limited the authorisation for use of the lead chromates at issue solely to those cases in which that use was necessary. Although the Commission criticises that interpretation and argues that it granted only a limited authorisation for certain uses, it must nevertheless be noted that the restriction in Article 1(1) and (2) of that decision is not a true restriction, since it merely recalls one of the general conditions for authorisation of a substance of very high concern laid down in Article 60(4) of the REACH Regulation and it is therefore not possible to define the scope of that restriction.
