79That general principle applies as a matter of priority in the determination of the normal value. As the General Court recalled in paragraph 148 of the judgment under appeal, the Court of Justice has previously held that it is apparent from both the wording and the scheme of the first subparagraph of Article 2(1) of the basic regulation that it is the price actually paid or payable in the ordinary course of trade which must, as a matter of priority, be taken into consideration in principle to establish the normal value (see, to that effect, judgment of 1 October 2014, Council v Alumina, C‑393/13 P, EU:C:2014:2245, paragraph 20 and the case-law cited). As the second subparagraph of Article 2(1) of the basic regulation specifies that that general principle applies when the conditions laid down in the first subparagraph of that provision are not satisfied, it must also be interpreted as applying as a matter of priority in relation to the methods for determining the normal value.
