New national side of euro coins intended for circulation
(2014/C 163/06)



Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area. For the purpose of informing the public and all parties who handle the coins, the Commission publishes a description of the designs of all new coins (1). In accordance with the Council conclusions of 10 February 2009 (2), euro-area Member States and countries that have concluded a monetary agreement with the European Union providing for the issuing of euro coins are allowed to issue commemorative euro coins intended for circulation, provided that certain conditions are met, particularly that only the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the same technical characteristics as other 2-euro coins, but their national face features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms.


Issuing country
: Finland


Subject of commemoration
: The 100th Anniversary of the birth of author and artist Tove Jansson


Description of the design
: The inner part of the coin depicts Tove Jansson’s portrait. Under the portrait the signature ‘Tove Jansson’ and the years ‘1914-2001’. At the left the indication of the issuing country ‘FI’. At the right the year of issuance ‘2014’ and the mint mark.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.


Number of coins to be issued
: 


Date of issue
: June/July 2014

Action brought on 28 May 2014 — European Parliament v Council of the European Union
(Case C-263/14)
2014/C 235/16
Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicant: European Parliament (represented by: R. Passos, A. Caiola, M. Allik, agents)

Defendant: Council of the European Union

The applicant claims that the Court should:







—


annul Council Decision 2014/198/CFSP of 10 March 2014 on the signing and conclusion of the Agreement between the European Union and the United Republic of Tanzania on the conditions of transfer of suspected pirates and associated seized property from the European Union-led naval force to the United Republic of Tanzania (1);










—


order that the effects of Council Decision 2014/198/CFSP of 10 March 2014 be maintained until it is replaced;










—


order Council of the European Union to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The European Parliament considers that Council Decision 2014/198/CFSP of 10 March 2014 on the signing and conclusion of the Agreement between the European Union and the United Republic of Tanzania on the conditions of transfer of suspected pirates and associated seized property from the European Union-led naval force to the United Republic of Tanzania is invalid because it does not relate exclusively to the common foreign and security policy, as expressly provided for in Article 218(6), second paragraph, TFEU.
The European Parliament considers that the Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Tanzania also relates to judicial cooperation in criminal matters and police cooperation, thus covering fields to which the ordinary legislative procedure applies.
Therefore, this Agreement should have been concluded under the substantive legal bases of Articles 37 TEU and 82 and 87 TFEU, after obtaining the consent of the European Parliament under Article 218(6)(a) TFEU.
For this reason, the Council has violated the Treaties by failing to choose the appropriate legal basis for the conclusion of the Agreement.
Furthermore, the European Parliament considers that the Council has violated Article 218(10) TFEU, because it did not inform Parliament fully and immediately at all stages of negotiations and conclusion of the Agreement.
Should the Court of Justice annul the contested Decision, the European Parliament nonetheless proposes that the Court exercise its discretion to maintain the effects of the contested Decision, in accordance with Article 264, second paragraph, TFEU, until such time as it is replaced.
