Commission v Edith Cresson (2006) C-432/04 is an EU law case, concerning the constitutional framework in the European Union.
Facts[]
Mrs Edith Cresson was brought to trial at the European Court of Justice by the European Commission for giving her friend Berthelot, a dental surgeon, the role of political adviser through appointing him as a visiting scientist for two and a half years. This went against the maximum duration which was 24 months for visiting scientists. This was argued to be a breach of article 213 EC Treaty (now Art 245 TFEU).Under article 213 of the EC, members of the Commission had to respect the obligations arising from their office.
Judgment[]
The Court of Justice, in full court, held that Mrs Cresson had breached her obligations under the Treaties.
