ECJ (Judgment) Under Articles 1(5) and 8(1) of Directive 83/189 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations, Member States are required to communicate to the Commission forthwith, irrespective of the effects which it may have on trade between Member States, any draft technical specifications, the observance of which is compulsory in the case of the marketing or use of a product in its territory. A Member State fails to fulfil that obligation where, without notifying it to the Commission at the drafting stage, it adopts a regulation derogating from a decree on the manufacture of margarine by authorizing the use, under specified conditions, of substitute products listed therein.
