30In the first place, while it is true that the application does not contain any explicit reference to a plea of illegality or to Article 277 TFEU, it must be observed that there is no requirement under EU law for a plea of illegality to be raised formally. Case-law gives grounds for considering that a plea of illegality has been raised implicitly where it is relatively clear from the application that the applicant is in fact making such a plea (see, to that effect, judgment of 27 November 2018, Mouvement pour une Europe des nations et des libertés v Parliament, T‑829/16, EU:T:2018:840, paragraph 66 and the case-law cited).
