Summary
Actions for annulment - Actionable measures - Refusal of the Commission to initiate the procedure for failure to fulfil obligations - Not included (EC Treaty, Art. 169)
An action for annulment brought by a natural or legal person in respect of a refusal on the part of the Commission to initiate the procedure for failure to fulfil obligations is inadmissible.
Such a refusal is not actionable both because under Article 169 of the Treaty the Commission is not bound to initiate such a procedure - it has, rather, a discretionary power precluding the right of individuals to require it to adopt a particular position or to bring an action for annulment against its refusal to take action - and because the only act which could be refused would be a reasoned opinion, which itself cannot form the subject-matter of proceedings for annulment.
