(8)In its judgement in Case T-611/19, the General Court ruled that the notion of legal act, within the meaning of Article 11 TUE and Article 2, point 1 and Article 4(2), point (b), of Regulation (EU) No 211/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote, refers, in conformity with Article 288 TFEU, to regulations, directives, decisions, recommendations and opinions adopted by the Institutions. Regulation (EU) No 211/2011 has been repealed as of 1 January 2020 and replaced by Regulation (EU) 2019/788. However, the scope of the citizens’ initiative and the legal conditions for registration have not changed. Regulation (EU) 2019/788 does not allow citizens’ initiatives to ask the Commission to propose changes to the Treaties, as it only allows initiatives to ask the Commission to propose, within the framework of its powers, acts of secondary law to implement the Treaties.
