By way of derogation from the procedure laid down in Articles 169 and 170 , the Commission or any Member State may bring the matter directly before the Court of Justice if it considers that another Member State is making improper use of the powers provided for in Articles 223 and 224 . The Court of Justice shall give its ruling in camera .
