139Procedural time limits are laid down with a view to ensuring due administration of justice, clarity and legal certainty. Thus, in particular, periods prescribed for bringing proceedings, such as that laid down in the sixth paragraph of Article 263 TFEU, and for bringing appeals, such as that laid down in the first paragraph of Article 56 of the Statute of the Court of Justice of the European Union, are intended to ensure that administrative decisions and decisions of the courts become final and so to protect public interests (judgment of 8 November 2012, Evropaïki Dynamiki v Commission, C‑469/11 P, EU:C:2012:705, paragraph 50). That is not the case with the limitation period laid down in Article 25 of Regulation No 1/2003, which, as stated in paragraph 131 of the present judgment, is principally intended to protect the undertakings concerned. Furthermore, the mere claim that the purpose of a limitation period is to ensure legal certainty cannot justify it being treated in the same way as a procedural time limit when those two time restrictions are inherently different (judgment of 8 November 2012, Evropaïki Dynamiki v Commission, C‑469/11 P, EU:C:2012:705, paragraph 49).
