Når der under en appel, der iværksættes af en medlemsstat eller en EU-institution, der ikke har interveneret i den pågældende sag for Retten, gives appellanten medhold, kan Domstolen, dersom den skønner det nødvendigt, angive, hvilke af virkningerne af Rettens ophævede afgørelse der skal betragtes som endelige for parterne i sagen.  
When an appeal brought by a Member State or an institution of the Union, which did not intervene in the proceedings before the General Court, is well founded, the Court of Justice may, if it considers this necessary, state which of the effects of the decision of the General Court which has been quashed shall be considered as definitive in respect of the parties to the litigation.
