35As regards the principle of effectiveness specifically, the Court has held that it does not require that a disputed decision, because it was adopted in infringement of the rights of the defence, must in every case be annulled. An infringement of the rights of the defence results in the annulment of the decision taken at the end of the administrative procedure at issue only if, had it not been for such an irregularity, the outcome of the procedure might have been different (see, to that effect, judgment of 3 July 2014, Kamino International Logistics and Datema Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, C‑129/13 and C‑130/13, EU:C:2014:2041, paragraphs 78 and 79).
