A key feature of the European Commission’s role as the ‘motor’ of EU integration is its near-monopoly on making proposals for EU action. But does that near-monopoly – which the Commission likes to call its ‘right of initiative’ – imply a corresponding power to withdraw proposals? And if so, are there any constraints on such a power?

The European Court of Justice answered these questions in an important judgment on the 14 April 2015.
