Judgment_paragraph 48 · Romania v European Commission (C-899/19 P)

48In the first place, as regards Romania’s arguments seeking to challenge the finding made by the General Court in paragraph 47 of the judgment under appeal, it must be observed that it follows, inter alia, from Article 168(1)(d) and Article 169(2) of the Rules of Procedure of the Court of Justice that an appeal must indicate precisely the contested elements of the decision which the appellant seeks to have set aside and the legal arguments specifically advanced in support of the appeal. The Court of Justice has repeatedly held, in that regard, that an appeal is inadmissible in so far as, without even including an argument specifically identifying the error of law allegedly vitiating the judgment of the General Court, it merely repeats the pleas in law and arguments previously submitted to the General Court, including those based on facts expressly rejected by it. Such an appeal amounts in reality to no more than a request for re-examination of the application submitted to the General Court, which the Court of Justice does not have jurisdiction to undertake on appeal (see, inter alia, judgment of 15 June 2017, Spain v Commission, C‑279/16 P, not published, EU:C:2017:461, paragraph 75 and the case-law cited).
