Texas Instruments v Hauptzollamt Munchen-Mitte (Judgment): ECJ 14 Nov 1985

Common customs tariff – alteration or suspension of import duties – powers of the council – limits (eec treaty, art. 28; council regulation no 2841/79) although article 28 of the EEC treaty, which concerns autonomous alterations or suspensions of common customs tariff duties, leaves the council considerable discretion, it is for the court to ascertain whether or not the manner in which the council has carried out the duties thereby entrusted to it constitutes a misuse of power or gives rise to discrimination.
