Judgment_paragraph 17 · Bürgerausschuss für die Bürgerinitiative Minority SafePack – one million signatures for diversity in Europe v European Commission (T-646/13)

17In this case, the refusal to register the proposed ECI is an action that may impinge upon the very effectiveness of the right of citizens to submit a citizens’ initiative that is enshrined in the first paragraph of Article 24 TFEU. Consequently, such a decision must disclose clearly the grounds justifying the refusal (see, to that effect, judgment of 30 September 2015, Anagnostakis v Commission, T‑450/12, at present under appeal, EU:T:2015:739, paragraph 25).
