Judgment_paragraph 53 · European Parliament and European Commission v Council of the European Union (C-124/13, C-125/13)

53As the Court has stated on many occasions, the power to adopt implementing acts is, as a rule, conferred on the Commission and, in accordance with Article 291(2) TFEU, it is only exceptionally that that power may be reserved to the Council in ‘duly justified specific cases’ and the cases expressly provided for in Article 291(2) TFEU, which relate solely to the common foreign and security policy (see, to that effect, judgments in Parliament v Council, C‑133/06, EU:C:2008:257, paragraph 47 and the case-law cited, and Commission v Parliament and Council, C‑88/14, EU:C:2015:499, paragraph 30).
