European Parliament takes the Council of the European Union to court: Case before the Court of Justice of the European Union: - Case C-355/10 (European Parliament v. Council of European Union) = Application under Article 263 TFEU for annulment of Council Decision 2010/252/EU (pdf):

"The European Parliament asked the Court to annul Council Decision 2010/252/EU of 26 April 2010 supplementing the Schengen Borders Code as regards the surveillance of the sea external borders in the context of operational cooperation coordinated by the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States of the European Union.

"In support of its action for annulment, the European Parliament argues that the Council in adopting the contested decision exceeded the implementing powers set out in Article 12(5) of the Schengen Borders Code to adopt additional measures governing border surveillance."

Background: - Council Decision of 26 April 2010 supplementing the Schengen Borders Code as regards the surveillance of the sea external borders in the context of operational cooperation coordinated by the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External borders of the Member States of the European Union (pdf) and Regulation establishing a Community Code on the rules governing the movement of persons across borders (Schengen Borders Code) (pdf)
