Committe of

Petititons

Petitions examined by the EP regularly

lead to the Commission initiating an
infringement procedure!
Created by

A complaint must have been preceded by

actions to find a solution with the institution/
organ/body...
BUT no judicial procedure in progress or
closed on the same issue

No complaint against the ECJ,

except in its adminsitrative role

not from MS, or infringement of EU law by MS

Consequences :
= results in a public report only
= no constraint measure possible vis-a-vis the institution of organ = no decision making power
