172In that regard, it should be noted that questions relating to the length of procedures may be referred to the EU Courts. In actions for liability, the EU Courts must find against the institutions, bodies, offices or agencies of the European Union where they have caused damage by failing to observe the reasonable time principle (judgments of 26 November 2013, Kendrion v Commission, C‑50/12 P, EU:C:2013:771, paragraph 94, and of 11 July 2019, Italmobiliare and Others v Commission, T‑523/15, not published, EU:T:2019:499, paragraph 159). In actions for annulment, the length of a procedure may result in the annulment of a contested decision if two cumulative conditions are met: first, the length must appear to have been unreasonable and, second, the excessive time taken must have interfered with the exercise of the rights of the defence (judgments of 21 September 2006, Technische Unie v Commission, C‑113/04 P, EU:C:2006:593, paragraphs 47 and 48; of 8 May 2014, Bolloré v Commission, C‑414/12 P, not published, EU:C:2014:301, paragraphs 84 and 85; and of 9 June 2016, PROAS v Commission, C‑616/13 P, EU:C:2016:415, paragraphs 74 to 76).
