Judgment_paragraph 54 · European Central Bank (ECB) and Others v Trasta Komercbanka and Others (C-663/17 P, C-665/17 P, C-669/17 P)

54Regarding that same appeal as lodged by Trasta Komercbanka, it should be borne in mind that the European Union is a Union based on the rule of law in which its institutions are subject to judicial review of the compatibility of their acts with, inter alia, the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and the general principles of law, that treaty having established a complete system of legal remedies and procedures designed to permit the Court to review the legality of acts of the EU institutions (see, to that effect, judgments of 23 April 1986, Les Verts v Parliament, 294/83, EU:C:1986:166, paragraph 23; of 29 June 2010, E and F, C‑550/09, EU:C:2010:382, paragraph 44; and of 30 May 2017, Safa Nicu Sepahan v Council, C‑45/15 P, EU:C:2017:402, paragraph 35). Individuals are therefore entitled to effective judicial protection of the rights they derive from the EU legal order (judgment of 18 January 2007, PKK and KNK v Council, C‑229/05 P, EU:C:2007:32, paragraph 109 and the case-law cited).
