📢 55 years of Commission v Council (C-22/70)

The #CJEU ruled that the EU can make contracts with third countries across the objectives defined by the TFEU. This power arises from both express provisions and other Treaty provisions or measures adopted by EU institutions.

📜 When the #EU adopts common rules to implement a common policy, Member States cannot – individually or collectively – undertake obligations with third countries affecting those rules or altering their scope.
