               —
            
            
               annul Council Decision of 24 May 2007 establishing the position to be adopted on behalf of the European Community with regard to certain proposals submitted to the 14th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 14) to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), the Hague, Netherlands 3-15 June 2007, and to order the Council to pay costs.

         Pleas in law and main arguments
   The Commission submits that the failure by the challenged Council decision to refer to the precise provisions of the EC Treaty on which it is based constitutes an infringement of essential procedural requirements, notably the obligation to state reasons contained in Article 253.
