39As regards the admissibility of that part, which is disputed by the Council, it must be borne in mind, at the outset, that it is settled case-law that an absence of or inadequate statement of reasons constitutes an infringement of essential procedural requirements for the purposes of Article 263 TFEU and is a plea involving a matter of public policy which may, and even must, be raised by the EU judicature of its own motion (judgments of 2 December 2009, Commission v Ireland and Others, C‑89/08 P, EU:C:2009:742, paragraph 34, and of 28 January 2016, Quimitécnica.com and de Mello v Commission, C‑415/14 P, not published, EU:C:2016:58, paragraph 57). It follows that the Council’s argument relating to the inadmissibility of the first part of the first ground of appeal must be rejected.
