On 18 January, in the case brought on behalf of the Kurdistan Worker’s Party (PKK) by its leader, Abdullah Öcalan, the European Court of Justice held that PKK could challenge a 2002 decision by the EU Council to include the party on the list of terrorist organizations. A lower court in February 2005 had dismissed this action on the ground that the PKK no longer existed.
