HAVE DECIDED to create a EUROPEAN COAL AND STEEL COMMUNITY and to this end have designated as their Plenipotentiaries:

Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community - Title II - The institutions of the Community - Chapter 4 - The Court of Justice - Article 35

Wherever the Commission is required by this Treaty, or by rules laid down for the implementation thereof, to take a decision or make a recommendation and fails to fulfil this obligation, it shall be for States, the Council, un dertakings or associations, as the case may be, to raise the matter with the Commission.

The same shall apply if the Commission, where empowered by this Treaty, or by rules laid down for the implementation thereof, to take a decision or make a recommendation, abstains from doing so and such abstention constitutes a misuse of powers.

If at the end of two months the Commission has not taken any decision or made any recommendation, proceedings may be instituted before the Court within one month against the implied decision of refusal which is to be inferred from the silence of the Commission on the matter.
