Judgment_paragraph 54 · Romania v European Commission (C-899/19 P)

54In paragraphs 54 to 56 of the judgment under appeal, the General Court further observed that Romania did not challenge the competence of the European Union to adopt legal acts in the concrete action areas referred to in the legal acts listed in Article 1(2) of the decision at issue in order to achieve the objectives pursued by the relevant provisions of the TFEU. It held that there was therefore nothing to prevent the Commission, as a matter of principle, from submitting proposals for legal acts which 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.
