                  set aside the judgment of the General Court in Case T-308/19;

         Grounds of appeal and main arguments
      
      In the first place, the Council takes the view that the General Court erred in law in its assessment of the eighth plea for annulment, alleging ‘failure to authenticate the statement of reasons’, by finding that the statement of reasons relating to the contested measures ought to have been signed.
      In the second place, the Council submits that the General Court erred in not finding that the decisions of the American authorities constituted a sufficient basis for including Hamas in the list annexed to the contested measures.
