51It is apparent from those provisions, read as a whole, that the response may not seek to have the judgment of the General Court set aside on the basis of distinct and independent grounds from those raised in the appeal, since such grounds may be raised only as part of a cross-appeal (judgment of 3 September 2020, Vereniging tot Behoud van Natuurmonumenten in Nederland and Others v Commission, C‑817/18 P, EU:C:2020:637, paragraph 48). It also follows that the cross-appeal must, as a rule, contain grounds and arguments that are separate from and independent of those raised in that same party’s response to the main appeal.
