Press Release: Advocate General’s Opinion in Case C-73/17. France v European Parliament

Advocate General Wathelet proposes that the Court should annul only the act by which the President of the Parliament declared in Brussels, and not in Strasbourg, that the general budget of the EU for 2017 was definitively adopted.

In accordance with France’s request, the Advocate General proposes to maintain the effects of that act until the adoption of a new act validly adopted in Strasbourg.
