Judgment_paragraph 56 · Romania v European Commission (T-391/17)

56While, in the areas for which the European Union is competent, the Commission is entitled to submit, for the purpose of achieving the objectives specifically pursued by the relevant provisions of the FEU Treaty, proposals for legal acts which take account of the values and objectives which form the subject matter of the proposed ECI, nothing must prevent that institution, as a matter of principle, from submitting proposals for specific acts which, as in the present case, are deemed to supplement EU action in the areas for which it is competent in order to ensure respect for the values set out in Article 2 TEU and the rich cultural and linguistic diversity laid down in the fourth subparagraph of Article 3(3) TEU.
