            COUNCIL DECISION (CFSP) 2025/1204
         
of 16 June 2025
         
amending Decision 2014/386/CFSP concerning restrictive measures in response to the illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol


THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 29 thereof,


Having regard to the proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,

Whereas:







(1)


On 23 June 2014, the Council adopted Decision 2014/386/CFSP (1).












(2)


In its conclusions of 19 December 2024, the European Council reiterated its resolute condemnation of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, which constitutes a manifest violation of the Charter of the United Nations, and reaffirmed its continued support for Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders. The Union does not recognise and continues to condemn the illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol by the Russian Federation as a violation of international law. The Union remains dedicated to fully implementing its non-recognition policy.












(3)


In view of the gravity of the situation, and as long as the illegal actions by the Russian Federation continue to violate fundamental rules of international law, including, in particular, the prohibition on the use of force enshrined in Article 2(4) of the Charter of the United Nations, or of international humanitarian law, it is appropriate to maintain in force all the measures imposed by the Union. Therefore, Decision 2014/386/CFSP should be renewed until 23 June 2026.












(4)


Decision 2014/386/CFSP should therefore be amended accordingly,





HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:



Article 1
In Article 5 of Decision 2014/386/CFSP, the second paragraph is replaced by the following:

‘This Decision shall apply until 23 June 2026.’.



Article 2
This Decision shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Joint Statement by the Council and the Commission
(C/2025/3347)


1.   

Guidelines will be adopted and published by the Commission as provided in Article 42 of the Regulation. They will provide non-binding orientations and guidance to operators so as to facilitate the application of the Regulation. These Guidelines will include amongst others information related to inspection principles and procedures. It is understood that the Guidelines will not create any legal rights or obligations and that the Regulation will remain the binding instrument which will prevail in case of any divergence between the Regulation and the Guidelines.



2.   

It is understood that by following the Guidelines the operators would ensure that they are in compliance with the provisions of the Regulation addressed by the Guidelines.



3.   

The Guidelines as adopted under Commission Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005 (1), i.e. Commission Recommendation of 15 December 2005 (2006/40/Euratom) (2) will continue to guide operators on the relevant aspects including after the entry into force of Regulation (Euratom) 2025/974 (3) until the updated Guidelines are adopted. The updated Guidelines will be available before the date of application of Annexes III to VII and X.



4.   

The Commission will follow the developments in the field of safeguards and monitor the application of the Regulation. On this basis, the Commission may, as appropriate, amend the Guidelines. Prior to the adoption of any amendment, the Commission will undertake to consult stakeholders and Member States. In adopting such amendments, the Commission will take account of the positions expressed in such consultations.



5.   

It is understood that the Working Party on Atomic Questions, in a suitable composition, will be the forum for the consultation of Member States.



6.   

The Commission acknowledges that up-to-date particular safeguard provisions for relevant installations are important for the implementation of Euratom safeguards. Considering that in many cases installations are also subject to IAEA safeguards, the existence of an up-to-date facility attachment with the IAEA is an important element for the Commission to decide on up-to-date particular safeguards provisions for the respective installation.



7.   

The Commission will continue to engage with the IAEA with the aim to agree on up-to-date facility attachments for all installations in the Community for which this is relevant.

Action brought on 16 June 2025 – CLL Centres de langues and Allingua v Commission


(Case T-389/25)

(C/2025/4471)
Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicants: Centre de langues à Louvain-la-Neuve et en Woluwe (‘CLL Centres de langues’) (Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium), Allingua (Luxembourg, Luxembourg) (represented by: V. Ost, M. Victor and Z. Lejeune, lawyers)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicants claim that the Court should:






—


annul the three contested decisions of the European Commission dated 6 June 2025, communicated to CLL by email on the same day, ranking CLL’s bid for the lots 1, 2 and 5 of the tender EC-HR/2024/OP/0111 (Language training for the Institutions, Bodies and Agencies of the European Union) in second position; and,










—


order the defendant to pay all the costs and expenses of these proceedings.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicants rely on two pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, alleging the abnormally low prices






—


The applicants seek the annulment of the Commission’s decisions on the grounds that the Commission unlawfully accepted the first-ranked bidder’s tenders that were abnormally low, in breach of Articles 163(1), 169(2), 170(1)(a), 171(6), 173(3), of the Financial Regulation and 296 TFEU, as well as points 23, 30.2(c) and 30.2(e) of Annex I to the Financial Regulation. These provisions require that tenders comply with minimum social and labour obligations, that abnormally low bids be investigated and rejected if unjustified, and that the contracting authority provide clear and reasoned explanations for its decisions.














2.


Second plea in law, alleging non-compliance with the selection criteria






—


The applicants seek the annulment of the Commission’s decisions on the grounds that the first-ranked tenderer apparently did not comply with the mandatory selection criteria regarding technical and professional capacity, in breach of Articles 170(1)(a), 170(1)(c), and 170(2) of the Financial Regulation, as well as points 20.1 and 18.7 of Annex I thereto.
