49As regards the case, provided for in Article 291(2) TFEU, whereby the Council may reserve the implementing power to itself ‘in duly justified specific cases’, it must be recalled that the Court interpreted the third indent of Article 145 of the EEC Treaty — which corresponds to Article 291(2) TFEU — as requiring the Council to state in detail the grounds for the decision to reserve the implementing powers to itself (judgment in Commission v Council, 16/88, EU:C:1989:397, paragraph 10).
