98Fourthly, concerning the Kingdom of Spain’s claim that the General Court erred in its assessment of the letter of the Commissioner for DG Competition of 9 March 2009, by merely analysing the formal aspects of that letter, it should be borne in mind that, in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 256(1) TFEU and the first paragraph of Article 58 of the Statute of the Court of Justice of the European Union, an appeal lies on points of law only. The General Court has exclusive jurisdiction to find and appraise the relevant facts and to assess the evidence submitted to it. The appraisal of those facts and the assessment of that evidence thus do not, save where the facts and evidence are distorted, constitute a point of law which is subject, as such, to review by the Court of Justice on appeal (judgment of 16 July 2020, ACTC v EUIPO, C‑714/18 P, EU:C:2020:573, paragraph 67 and the case-law cited). Since the Kingdom of Spain has not maintained or demonstrated that the General Court distorted that letter, its arguments relating to it are inadmissible.
