16It should be recalled that, in accordance with Article 5 TEU, the limits of EU competences are governed by the principle of conferral and that, under Article 13(2) TEU, each institution is to act within the limits of the powers conferred on it in the Treaties. It is in that context that Article 4(2)(b) of Regulation No 211/2011 lays down the condition that the proposed ECI must not manifestly fall outside the framework of the Commission’s powers to submit a proposal for a legal act of the European Union for the purpose of implementing the Treaties.
