Alfons Lutticke GmbH v Commission of the EEC (Judgment): ECJ 1 Mar 1966

Europa Member states of the EEC – failure to fulfil an obligation arising under the treaty – application to the commission to initiate the procedure provided for in article 169 of the EEC treaty – refusal of the commission – application for annulment – inadmissibility. An application for the annulment of a measure by which the commission has arrived at a decision on an application to initiate the procedure laid down to deal with the failure of a member state to fulfil an obligation under the EEC treaty is inadmissible, since the initiation of this procedure is part of the administrative stage thereof and no measure taken by the commission during this stage has any binding force.
