On July 13, 2023, the Council of State ruled that there was no need to rule on the conclusions of SCARA's application relating to the action sheet " Reasoning for the protection of straw cereals against fungal diseases of the foliage with the help of the C-3PO service ", since the action had been included in the decree of December 23, 2022 amending the decree of May 9, 2017.

With regard to the standardized action entitled: "Decrease the use of phytopharmaceutical products through environmental certification of field crop farms in Champagne Crayeuse", the Council of State ruled that the application was inadmissible on the grounds that, as the applicant was a seller of phytopharmaceutical products, this standardized action failed to comply with the incompatibility between sales and advisory actions set out in VI of article L. 254-1 of the Code rural et de la pêche maritime.
