      Pleas in law and main arguments
   
   
               1.
            
            
               The General Court committed an error of law by considering that Implementing Regulation 2015/408 (1) is a regulatory act that entails implementing measures within the meaning of the fourth paragraph of Article 263 TFEU.
            
         
               2.
            
            
               The General Court committed an error of law by considering that the dismissal of the EUCuTF’s action would not impair its right and its members’ right to effective judicial protection.
            
         
               3.
            
            
               The General Court committed an error of law by considering that the EUCuTF and its members were not individually affected by Implementing Regulation 2015/408.
            
         
      (1)  Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/408 of 11 March 2015 on implementing Article 80(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and establishing a list of candidates for substitution.
