Abstract
The three Community Treaties all begin with assigning far-reaching tasks to the newly established Communities, tasks which are delineated precisely throughout the Treaties. The methods of implementation which may be used and the kinds of decisions to be taken are narrowly prescribed. The tasks entrusted to the Communities must be carried out by the four Institutions, each acting within the limits of the powers conferred upon them by the Treaties. It is of great importance for the Member States which transferred sovereignty to the Communities, for the Institutions, each of which has its own responsibilities, and for the citizens of the nine in whose interest the Communities are to work, that all Community decisions respect the requirements set out in the Treaties and that no powers are exercised unless expressly founded in the Treaties. Without some guarantee that the limits of the Treaties should be respected the Member States might not have been willing to transfer such wide-ranging powers to the Communities at all.
