Any natural or legal person may, under the conditions laid down in the
preceding paragraphs, complain to the Court of Justice that an
institution of the Community has failed to address to that person any
act other than a recommendation or an opinion.
The Court of Justice shall have jurisdiction, under the same
conditions, in actions or proceedings brought by the ECB in the areas
falling within the latter's field of competence and in actions or
proceedings brought against the latter."
55) Article 176 shall be replaced by the following:
"ARTICLE 176
The institution or institutions whose act has been declared void or
whose failure to act has been declared contrary to this Treaty shall be
required to take the necessary measures to comply with the judgment
of the Court of Justice.
This obligation shall not affect any obligation which may result from
the application of the second paragraph of Article 215.
This Article shall also apply to the ECB."
56) Article 177 shall be replaced by the following:
"ARTICLE 177
The Court of Justice shall have jurisdiction to give preliminary rulings
concerning:
(a) the interpretation of the Treaty;
(b) the validity and interpretation of acts of the institutions of the
Community and of the ECB;
(c) the interpretation of the statutes of bodies established by an act of
the Council, where those statutes so provide.
Where such a question is raised before any court or tribunal of a
Member State, that Court of tribunal may, if it considers that a decision
on the question is necessary to enable it to give judgment, request the
Court of Justice to give a ruling thereon.
Where any such question is raised in a case pending before a court or
tribunal of a Member State against whose decisions there is no
judicial remedy under national law, the court or tribunal shall bring the
matter before the Court of Justice."
57) Article 180 shall be replaced by the following:
"ARTICLE 180
The Court of Justice shall, within the limits hereinafter laid down, have
jurisdiction in disputes concerning:
(a) the fulfillment by Member States of obligations under the Statute of
the European Investment Bank. In this connection, the Board of
Directors of the Bank shall enjoy the powers conferred upon the
Commission by Article 169;
(b) measures adopted by the Board of Governors of the European
Investment Bank. In this connection, any Member State, the
Commission of the Board of Directors of the Bank may institute
proceedings under the conditions laid down in Article 173;
(c) measures adopted by the Board of Directors of the European
Investment Bank. Proceedings against such measures may be
instituted only by Member States or by the Commission, under the
conditions laid down in Article 173, and solely on the grounds of non-
compliance with the procedure provided for in Article 21(2), (5), (6) and
(7) of the Statute of the Bank;
(d) the fulfillment by the national central banks of obligations under
this Treaty and the Statute of the ESCB.
