Judgment_paragraph 26 · European Parliament v Council of the European Union (C-490/10)

26The Parliament does not dispute the fact that it is possible to use Article 337 TFEU as a general legal basis as regards measures relating to the collection of information. However, referring to the judgments in Joined Cases 188/80 to 190/80 France and Others v Commission [1982] ECR 2545 and Case C-426/93 Germany v Council [1995] ECR I-3723, it claims that, when such collection responds specifically to the aims of one of the policies of the European Union, such a general basis should give way to the specific basis corresponding to those aims.
