1. Introduction

Court of First Instance (CFI)3 is the first step towards diversifying the

jurisdiction of the Community/Union, redistributing previous powers held by the

Court for the benefit of other EU jurisdictions, provided, well understood, the

protection of Supreme Court4 review.

Article 168A EC and 32 quinto ECSC introduced by the SEA fully realized

diversification requirements of Community jurisdiction. These articles authorize

the Council, acting unanimously after consulting the Court on the request of the

Commission and the European Parliament to establish the Court of Justice

jurisdiction assigned to examine at first instance certain categories of disputes

subject to appeal before the ECJ limited to issues under the conditions fixed by

statute.
