Judgment_paragraph 187 · Changmao Biochemical Engineering Co. Ltd v European Commission (C-123/21 P)

187It should be noted that the three arguments referred to in paragraph 180 of the present judgment constitute a mere repetition of arguments which had already been raised by Changmao in the context of the various pleas in law put forward at first instance and on which the General Court ruled in the context of its examination of those pleas. Moreover, the grounds of the judgment under appeal in response to those pleas are clear and unequivocal and make it possible to understand the factors on which the General Court based its decision. The fact that the latter reached a result on the merits other than that referred to by Changmao cannot, of itself, vitiate the judgment under appeal by a failure to state reasons (see, by analogy, order of 13 December 2012, Alliance One International v Commission, C‑593/11 P, EU:C:2012:804, paragraph 29 and the case-law cited).
