Court of First Instance, Art. 35 Rules of Procedure: language of proceedings, division of jurisdiction

COMMISSION OPINION The purpose of the amendments requested by the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance is to add the new official languages of the enlarged Union to their lists of procedural languages. They also aim to reproduce, in the Rules of Procedure of the Court of First Instance, the provisions of the Rules of Procedure of the Court of Justice governing procedural languages in the direct actions that are now to be within the jurisdiction of the Court of First Instance under the distribution of jurisdiction in the process of being adopted by the Council. These purely technical amendments call for no comments from the Commission. The Commission accordingly agrees to the texts presented by the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance.�
