61That interpretation of Article 5 of Regulation No 2271/96 cannot be called into question, contrary to Telekom’s submissions, by the Commission Guidance Note referred to in paragraph 28 of this judgment. That note does not establish binding rules or legal interpretations. Regulation No 2271/96 alone is binding, as stated in paragraph 5 of the preamble to that note, and only the Court has the power to give legally binding interpretations of the acts of the institutions, as stated in paragraph 6 of the preamble to that same note.
