The prohibition measures laid down by Article 4 of Decision 2010/413, concerning restrictive measures against Iran and repealing Common Position 2007/140, are of a general nature, their scope being determined by reference to objective criteria and not by reference to identified natural or legal persons. Consequently, Article 4 of Decision 2010/413 is not a decision providing for restrictive measures against natural or legal persons within the meaning of the second paragraph of Article 275 TFEU. Therefore, under the first paragraph of Article 275 TFEU, the Court does not have jurisdiction to take cognisance of an action seeking to assess the legality of Article 4.
