96In that regard, it is apparent from the Court of Justice’s settled case-law that arguments directed against grounds included in a decision of the General Court purely for the sake of completeness cannot lead to the decision being set aside and are therefore ineffective (judgment of 23 March 2023, PV v Commission, C‑640/20 P, EU:C:2023:232, paragraph 191 and the case-law cited). Even if the first part of the second ground of appeal were well founded, it would not be capable of invalidating the judgment under appeal, since that part relates to a ground of that judgment which has not been established as contributing to the support of the operative part of that judgment.
