228Where the Treaty and the rules of procedure of an institution require the institution to carry out a particular formality in a specific context, that institution cannot replace that requirement with practices which are not provided for in the rules applicable to it. As they serve a Union based on the rule of law, no institution may bypass the rules applicable to it.
