Hochmann Marketing v Council (Order) French Text [2019] EUECJ T-657/18_CO (22 March 2019)

The Council's letter merely stated its lack of competence to amend the Court's Rules of Procedure and did not produce binding legal effects altering the applicant's legal position; therefore, it is not an act subject to annulment under Article 263 TFEU. The action is manifestly inadmissible.
