Judgment_paragraph 26 · Council of the European Union v Silvio Busacca and Others and Court of Auditors of the European Communities (C-434/98 P)

26As regards the difficulty which, according to the Council, would result from a judgment becoming definitive although it is similar to others which are annulled for error of law, it need only be pointed out that the inapplicability of a regulation, found indirectly pursuant to Article 184 of the EC Treaty (now Article 241 EC) in proceedings calling that regulation into question, is binding only between the parties to those proceedings.
