Judgment of 14 Jun 2016law://eu/cjeu/2014/c-361-14/para_38@2026-11-11

38In addition, as the General Court rightly held, at paragraph 44 of the judgment under appeal, the obligation to act which follows from Article 266 TFEU is not a source of competence for the Commission, nor does it permit the Commission to rely on a legal basis which has in the meantime been repealed.
