      Pleas in law and main arguments
   
   The Parliament invokes two pleas in law alleging infringement of the Treaties, first, and infringement of an essential procedural requirement, secondly, in support of its action for annulment.
   In the first place, the Parliament considers that the Council used an inappropriate legal basis in order to adopt the contested decisions.
   In the second place, the Parliament complains that the Council used a decision-making procedure which is legally incorrect.
