The European Court of Justice consists of 27 judges appointed by the member states by mutual agreement and assisted by 8 Advocates-General. Proceedings before the Court involve written and oral submission by the parties concerned. Proceedings against the Commission or the Council may be brought by the other of these two bodies, by any member state, or by individual persons; proceedings to challenge the validity of legislative or other action by either Commission or Council are known as proceedings for annulment. Proceedings against a member state may be brought by the Commission, the Council, or any other member state. Appeals from the Court of First Instance go to the ECJ. The decisions of the Court are binding and there is no appeal against them.
The Court also has power, at the request of a court of any member state, to give a preliminary ruling on any point of Community law on which that court requires clarification.
