83In order to determine whether, in the present case, the Council infringed Article 293(1) TFEU, it should be recalled that that provision must be read in the light of Article 13(2) TEU, according to which each EU institution is to act within the limits of the powers conferred on it in the Treaties, and in conformity with the procedures, conditions and objectives set out in them. That provision reflects the principle of institutional balance, characteristic of the institutional structure of the European Union, a principle which requires that each of the institutions must exercise its powers with due regard for the powers of the other institutions (judgment of 2 September 2021, EPSU v Commission, C‑928/19 P, EU:C:2021:656, paragraph 48 and the case-law cited).
