The pots into which the plants were finally transplanted were expected to be discarded by customers. The primary purpose was not for the growth of the plants, but was used as 'packaging conceived so as to constitute a sales unit' The original purpose was only one element of all the circumstances which the court should look at.

Since aid concerns an indeterminate group of persons, the sole purpose of the requirement that aid authorisation under Article 93(3)of the Treaty (now Article 88(3)EC)be notified is to oblige the Commission to ensure that all persons who may be concerned are alerted. Publication of an authorisation notice in the Official Journal is an adequate means of informing all those concerned that aid has been authorised by the Commission on the basis of that article. If the details given in the notice are sufficiently precise to enable a third party to realise that it is definitely concerned by the aid authorised, it may not subsequently challenge the lawfulness of the measure on the basis of Article 92 (now, after amendment, Article 87 EC)and Article 93 of the Treaty if it did not challenge the decision authorising the aid within the time-limits laid down by Article 173 of the Treaty (now Article 230 EC). ( see paras 48 to 50 ) 2. Where the Commission has decided to proceed no further with a complaint regarding competition and not to carry out an investigation, the purpose of the review of legality to be made by the Court of First Instance is to ensure that the contested decision is not based on materially incorrect facts or vitiated by an error of law, a manifest error of appraisal or misuse of powers. ( see para. 74 ) 3. It is clear from the general scheme of the Treaty that the procedure provided for in Article 92 (now, after amendment, Article 87 EC)and Article 93 of the Treaty (now Article 88 EC)must never produce a result which is contrary to the specific provisions of the Treaty. The Commission's obligation to ensure that Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty are applied consistently with other provisions of the Treaty is all the more necessary where those other provisions pursue the same aim of ensuring undistorted competition in the common market. However, aspects of aid which contravene provisions of the Treaty other than Articles 92 and 93 may be so indissolubly linked to the object of the aid that it is impossible to evaluate them separately. Where this is so, the effects of those aspects on the compatibility or incompatibility of the aid as a whole must be assessed by means of the procedure under Article 93 of the Treaty. The position is different, however, if it is possible when aid is being analysed to separate those conditions or factors which, even though they form part of the aid, may be regarded as not being necessary for the attainment of its object or for its proper functioning. In the case of disputed measures forming part of aid authorised by the Commission, the Court must first determine whether the measures are aspects or elements of the aid authorised and, if so, whether they entail restrictive effects which go beyond what is necessary for the aid to attain the objectives permissible under the Treaty.

When the UK became a member of the EU it declared how it wished nationality to be defined. This was renewed and altered with the new Immigration Act.

A French company, ISA provided security services in France and employed a small number of workers as security officers at a shopping mall in Belgium. ISA challenged the obligation to pay minimum wages as required by Belgian law. Held: Since the thirteen workers enjoyed comparable overall protection in the home Member State and there was thus no obligation to pay the minimum wage: " . . as regards more specifically national provisions relating to minimum wages such as those at issue in the main proceedings, it is clear from the case law of the court that community law does not preclude member states from extending their legislation or collective labour agreements entered into by both sides of industry, relating to minimum wages, to any person who is employed, even temporarily, within their territory, regardless of the country in which the employer is established." 1 Citers [ Bailii ]  Commission v France (Rec.2001,p.I-2387) (Judgment) C-147/00 15 Mar 2001 ECJ European  Commission v Netherlands (Rec.2001,p.I-2351) (Judgment) C-83/00 15 Mar 2001 ECJ European  Commission v France (Judgment) [2001] EUECJ C-265/99; C-265/99 15 Mar 2001 ECJ European [ Bailii ]  Bocchi Food Trade International v Commission (Rec 2001,p II-943) T-30/99; [2001] EUECJ T-30/99; T-30/99 20 Mar 2001 ECFI European [ Bailii ]  Fahmi and Esmoris Cerdeiro-Pinedo Amado (Rec.2001,p.I-2415) (Judgment) C-33/99 20 Mar 2001 ECJ European  Compagnia Portuale Pietro Chiesa v Commission (Rec.2001,p.II-1019) (Order) T-59/00 20 Mar 2001 ECFI European  Cordis v Commission (Rec 2001,p II-913) T-18/99; [2001] EUECJ T-18/99; T-18/99 20 Mar 2001 ECFI European [ Bailii ]   Fahmi and Esmoris Cerdeiro-Pinedo Amado v Bestuur van de Sociale Verzekeringsbank; ECJ 20-Mar-2001 - [2001] ECR I-2415; [2003] 1 CMLR 45; ECLI:EU:C:2001:176; [2001] EUECJ C-33/99; C-33/99  T Port v Commission (Rec 2001,p II-981) T-52/99; [2001] EUECJ T-52/99; T-52/99 20 Mar 2001 ECFI European [ Bailii ]  Compagnia Portuale Pietro Chiesa v Commission (Rec 2001,p II-1019) T-59/00; [2001] EUECJ T-59/00; T-59/00 20 Mar 2001 ECFI European [ Bailii ]  Metallgesellschaft Ltd and Others v Inland Revenue Commissioners and Another Hoechst Ag and Another v Same Times, 20 March 2001; C-397/98; C-410/98; [2001] Ch 620; [2001] STC 452; [2001] EUECJ C-397/98; [2001] EUECJ C-410/98; [2001] ECR I-1727 20 Mar 2001 ECJ European, Corporation Tax The British law which meant that non-resident parent companies of British based businesses were not able to recover interest on payments of advance corporation tax, was discriminatory against other European based companies. Accordingly the law was contrary to Community law: '... it is contrary to Community law for a national court to refuse or reduce a claim brought before it by a resident subsidiary and its non-resident parent company for reimbursement or reparation of the financial loss which they have suffered as a consequence of the advance payment of corporation tax by the subsidiary, on the sole ground that they did not apply to the tax authorities in order to benefit for the taxation regime which would have exempted the subsidiary from making payments in advance and that they therefore did not make use of the legal remedies available to them to challenge the refusals of the tax authorities, by invoking the primacy and direct effect of the provisions of Community law, where upon any view national law denied resident subsidiaries and their non-resident parent companies the benefit of that taxation regime.' Europa It is contrary to Article 52 of the Treaty (now, after amendment, Article 43 EC) for the tax legislation of a Member State to afford subsidiary companies resident in that Member State the possibility of benefiting from a taxation regime (group income election) allowing them to pay dividends to their parent company without having to pay advance corporation tax where their parent company is also resident in that Member State but to deny them that possibility where their parent company has its seat in another Member State. Where a subsidiary resident in one Member State has been obliged to pay advance corporation tax in respect of dividends paid to its parent company having its seat in another Member State even though, in similar circumstances, the subsidiaries of parent companies resident in the first Member State were entitled to opt for a taxation regime that allowed them to avoid that obligation, Article 52 of the Treaty (now, after amendment, Article 43 EC) requires that resident subsidiaries and their non-resident parent companies should have an effective legal remedy in order to obtain reimbursement or reparation of the financial loss which they have sustained and from which the authorities of the Member State concerned have benefited as a result of the advance payment of tax by the subsidiaries. The mere fact that the sole object of such an action is the payment of interest equivalent to the financial loss suffered as a result of the loss of use of the sums paid prematurely does not constitute a ground for dismissing such an action, for the award of interest represents the reimbursement of that which was improperly paid and would appear to be essential in restoring the equal treatment guaranteed by Article 52 of the Treaty. While, in the absence of Community rules, it is for the domestic legal system of the Member State concerned to lay down the detailed procedural rules governing actions for repayment of taxes levied in breach of Community law or for reparation of loss caused by breach of Community law, including ancillary questions such as the payment of interest, those rules must not render practically impossible or excessively difficult the exercise of rights conferred by Community law. Actions brought by individuals before the courts of a Member State for repayment of national taxes levied in breach of Community law or for reparation of the loss caused in breach of Community law are subject to national rules of procedure which may, in particular, require applicants to act with reasonable diligence in order to avoid loss or damage or to limit its extent. It is, however, contrary to Community law for a national court to refuse or reduce a claim brought before it by a subsidiary resident in that Member State and its non-resident parent company for reimbursement or reparation of the financial loss which they have suffered as a consequence of the advance payment of corporation tax by the subsidiary, on the sole ground that they did not apply to the tax authorities in order to benefit from the taxation regime which would have exempted the subsidiary from making payments in advance and that they therefore did not make use of the legal remedies available to them to challenge the refusals of the tax authorities, by invoking the primacy and direct effect of the provisions of Community law, where upon any view national law denied resident subsidiaries and their non-resident parent companies the benefit of that taxation regime.

Any production, processing, holding or circulation outside a suspension arrangement gives rise to the chargeability of the excise duty. In those circumstances, once it is established before the national court that such a product has departed from a suspension arrangement without the excise duty having been paid, it is clear that the holding of the product in question constitutes release for consumption within the meaning of Article 6 (1) of the Directive and that the duty has become chargeable.

However, in such an examination of the legality of an agreement, the Commission is bound to take account of the legal and factual context and, in particular to rely on the precise provisions of the agreement. Information exchange agreements are not generally prohibited automatically by Article 65 of the ECSC Treaty but only if they have certain characteristics relating, in particular, to the sensitive and accurate nature of recent data exchanged at short intervals. Where the Commission has based its assessment of an agreement on the combined effect of the exchange of the three ECSC questionnaires 2-71, 2-73 and 2-74, even though the notified agreement does not provide for the exchange of ECSC questionnaire 2-73, which specifically furnishes the most accurate and detailed data and is accordingly likely to reveal the strategy of the various producers, this has the effect of completely invalidating the analysis made by the Commission. If the Commission had taken account of the real scope of the notified agreement, which is limited to the exchange of data on the sales of the participating undertakings alone, without distinguishing between the different consumer sectors, and which allows market shares to be calculated only approximately, it is not inconceivable that its evaluation would have been different and that it would have considered that the agreement was not contrary to Article 65(1)of the ECSC Treaty.

The rate of value added tax of 2.1%, which is below the minimum rate of 5% laid down in Article 12(3)(a) of the Sixth Directive, is justified under Article 28(2)(a) of that directive in so far as that rate existed on 1 January 1991, is in accordance with Community law, in so far as it is consistent with the principle of fiscal neutrality inherent in the common system of value added tax, given that reimbursable and non-reimbursable medicinal products are not similar products in competition with each other, and meets the criteria set out in the final indent of Article 17 of the Second Directive inasmuch as the application of the reduced rate to reimbursable medicinal products clearly constitutes a social reason, as it necessarily reduces the charges borne by the social security system and also benefits final consumers, whose health expenses are thereby reduced. 1 Citers [ Bailii ]  Verdonck and others (Judgment) [2001] EUECJ C-28/99; C-28/99 3 May 2001 ECJ European [ Bailii ]  Ajinomoto v Council (Commercial Policy) C-77/98; [2001] EUECJ C-77/98P; [2001] EUECJ C-77/98 3 May 2001 ECJ European ECJ Appeal - Dumping - Normal value - Existence of a patent in the exporter's domestic market - Effect on the lawfulness of the regulation imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty of an allegedly illegal element of the regulation imposing a provisional anti-dumping duty [ Bailii ] - [ Bailii ]  Commission v France (Rec.2001,p.I-3369) (Judgment) C-481/98 3 May 2001 ECJ European  Liaskou v Council (Rec.2001,p.FP-IA-107,II-489) (Judgment) T-60/00 3 May 2001 ECFI European  Samper v Parliament (Rec 2001,p FP-IA-111,II-507) T-99/00; [2001] EUECJ T-99/00; T-99/00 3 May 2001 ECFI European [ Bailii ]  Middlesbrough Borough Council v TGWU Unison EAT/26/00; [2001] UKEAT 26_00_0405; [2002] IRLR 332 4 May 2001 EAT His Honour Judge Peter Clark Employment, European The council sought to make redundancies because of its financial circumstances following re-organisation. The employees said the consultation procedure had been a sham. Held: Fair consultation involves giving the body consulted a fair and proper opportunity to understand fully the matters about which it is being consulted, and to express its views on those subjects, with the consulter thereafter considering those views properly and genuinely. That consultation was not to be as to the reasons for the proposals, but the employer could not do away with consultation because it would make no difference. The Tribunal was right to consider that the consultation was a sham insofar as the decision had already been taken by the time of the consultation. The tribunal had however made no finding as to the defence of special circumstances. The EAT found however that the decision of the tribunal was plainly and unarguably right, and that the error of law was of no effect. The appeal was dismissed. HHJ Clarke said: "(3) Subject-matter of consultation We have earlier observed that the employer is not obliged to consult as to his reasons for proposing redundancies: ex parte Vardy.

That error is manifest and consequently renders those regulations invalid.

As to the applicable principles in transposing Directives as fully effective in national law: "The Court has explained that . . the Member States must define a specific legal framework in the sector concerned which ensures that the national legal system complies with the provisions of the directive in question. The framework must be designed in such a way as to remove all doubt or ambiguity, not only as regards the content of the relevant national legislation and its compliance with the directive, but also as regards the authority of that legislation and its suitability as a basis for regulation of the sector . . Consequently, given that the Member State concerned is required to ensure the full and exact application of the provisions of any directive, it falls short of its obligations so long as it has not completely complied with [the directive], even if that [domestic] law has to a large extent already secured the objectives of the directive. Any rights conferred by [the] directive must be guaranteed full protection . . Regard must be had to the Court's consistent concern to ensure that the existing national legislation leaves no doubt as to the effects of the directive upon the legal position of individuals. In the words of the Court, 'it is particularly important, in order to satisfy the requirement for legal certainty, that individuals should have the benefit of a clear and precise legal situation enabling them to ascertain the full extent of their rights and, where appropriate, to rely on them before the national courts.'"

In fact the finance company deducted an undisclosed commission before forwarding payment to the shop. The shop wanted to pay VAT only on the amount it received. It was held to be liable on the amount paid by the consumer. The taxable amount was the consideration, and the consideration was the amount paid by the customer. The deduction was by way of set off under a different, parallel contract. It was necessary to achieve parity between different kinds of transactions as seen by the purchaser.

Only the legislature can, where appropriate, adopt measures to alter that situation, for example by amending provisions of the Staff Regulations. The fact that, in a limited number of Member States, a registered partnership is assimilated, although incompletely, to marriage cannot have the consequence that, by mere interpretation, persons whose legal status is distinct from that of marriage can be covered by the term married official as used in the Staff Regulations. According to the definition generally accepted by the Member States, the term marriage means a union between two persons of the opposite sex. Since 1989 an increasing number of Member States have introduced, alongside marriage, statutory arrangements granting legal recognition to various forms of union between partners of the same sex or of the opposite sex and conferring on such unions certain effects which, both between the partners and as regards third parties, are the same as or comparable to those of marriage. It is clear, however, that apart from their great diversity, such arrangements for registering relationships between couples not previously recognised in law are regarded in the Member States concerned as being distinct from marriage. In such cirumstances the Community judicature cannot interpret the Staff Regulations in such a way that legal situations distinct from marriage are treated in the same way as marriage. 1 Citers [ Bailii ]  Commission v Italy (Rec.2001,p.I-4363) (Judgment) C-283/99 31 May 2001 ECJ European  D v Council (Staff Regulations) C-125/99; [2001] EUECJ C-125/99P 31 May 2001 ECJ European [ Bailii ]  D and Suede v Council (Rec.2001,p.I-4319) (Judgment) C-122/99 31 May 2001 ECJ European  Zuccherifici and others v Council C-41/99 31 May 2001 ECJ European (Judgment)  Zuccherifici and others v Council C-41/99; [2001] EUECJ C-41/99P; [2001] EUECJ C-41/99 31 May 2001 ECJ European (Judgment) [ Bailii ] - [ Bailii ]  ESF Elbe-Stahlwerke Feralpi v Commission (Rec 2001,p II-1523) T-6/99; [2001] EUECJ T-6/99 5 Jun 2001 ECFI European [ Bailii ]  ESF Elbe-Stahlwerke Feralpi v Commission (Rec.2001,p.II-1523) (Judgment) T-6/99 5 Jun 2001 ECFI European  CBA Computer (Rec.2001,p.I-4391) (Judgment) C-479/99 7 Jun 2001 ECJ European  DKV v OHMI (EuroHealth) (Rec 2001,p II-1645) T-359/99; [2001] EUECJ T-359/99; T-359/99 7 Jun 2001 ECFI European [ Bailii ]  CBA Computer (Judgment) C-479/99; [2001] EUECJ C-479/99 7 Jun 2001 ECJ European [ Bailii ]  Agrana Zucker und Starke v Commission (Rec 2001,p II-1587) T-187/99; [2001] EUECJ T-187/99; T-187/99 7 Jun 2001 ECFI European [ Bailii ]  Spedition Wilhelm Rotermund v Commission (Rec 2001,p II-1619) T-330/99; [2001] EUECJ T-330/99; T-330/99 7 Jun 2001 ECFI European [ Bailii ]  Agrana Zucker und Starke v Commission (Rec.2001,p.II-1587) (Judgment) T-187/99 7 Jun 2001 ECFI European  Spedition Wilhelm Rotermund v Commission (Rec.2001,p.II-1619) (Judgment) T-330/99 7 Jun 2001 ECFI European  Gogos v Commission (Rec 2001,p FP-IA-123,II-571) T-95/98; T-95/98 12 Jun 2001 ECFI European  Commission v France (Rec.2001,p.I-4539) (Judgment) C-40/00 14 Jun 2001 ECJ European  Telefon and Buch v Ohmi (Universaltelefonbuch) (Intellectual Property) T-358/99; [2001] EUECJ T-358/99 14 Jun 2001 ECJ European [ Bailii ]  Telefon and Buch v OHMI (UNIVERSALTELEFONBUCH and UNIVERSALKOMMUNIKATIONSVERZEICHNIS) (Rec 2001,p II-1705) T-357/99; [2001] EUECJ T-357/99; T-357/99 14 Jun 2001 ECFI European [ Bailii ]  Commission v France C-84/00; [2001] EUECJ C-84/00 14 Jun 2001 ECJ European [ Bailii ]  McAuley v Council (Rec.2001,p.FP-IA-127,II-583) (Judgment) T-230/99 14 Jun 2001 ECFI European  Commission v Belgium (Rec.2001,p.I-4591) (Judgment) C-230/00 14 Jun 2001 ECJ European  Commission v France (Rec.2001,p.I-4553) (Judgment) C-84/00 14 Jun 2001 ECJ European  Commission v Italy (Rec.2001,p.I-4571) (Judgment) C-207/00 14 Jun 2001 ECJ European  Commission v France (Judgment) [2001] EUECJ C-40/00; C-40/00 14 Jun 2001 ECJ European [ Bailii ]  Salzmann (Judgment) [2001] EUECJ C-178/99; C-178/99 14 Jun 2001 ECJ European [ Bailii ]  Kvaerner (Rec.2001,p.I-4447) (Judgment) C-191/99 14 Jun 2001 ECJ European  Salzmann (Rec.2001,p.I-4421) (Judgment) C-178/99 14 Jun 2001 ECJ European  Commission v France (Judgment) C-345/99; [2001] EUECJ C-345/99 14 Jun 2001 ECJ European [ Bailii ]  Commission v Suede (Judgment) C-368/00; [2001] EUECJ C-368/00 14 Jun 2001 ECJ European, Environment Europa Failure by a Member State to fulfil its obligations - Quality of bathing water - Inadequate implementation of Directive 76/160/EEC Directive 76/160/EEC [ Bailii ]  Kvaerner (Judgment) C-191/99; [2001] EUECJ C-191/99 14 Jun 2001 ECJ European [ Bailii ]  Commission v Belgium (Judgment) [2001] EUECJ C-230/00; C-230/00 14 Jun 2001 ECJ European [ Bailii ]  Commission v Italy (Judgment) C-207/00; [2001] EUECJ C-207/00 14 Jun 2001 ECJ European [ Bailii ]  Hortiplant v Commission (Rec 2001,p II-1665) T-143/99; [2001] EUECJ T-143/99; T-143/99 14 Jun 2001 ECFI European [ Bailii ]  Commission v France (Rec.2001,p.I-4493) (Judgment) C-345/99 14 Jun 2001 ECJ European  McAuley v Council T-230/99; [2001] EUECJ T-230/99 14 Jun 2001 ECFI European [ Bailii ]  Commission v Suede (Rec.2001,p.I-4605) (Judgment) C-368/00 14 Jun 2001 ECJ European  Commission v Autriche (Rec.2001,p.I-4527) (Judgment) C-473/99 14 Jun 2001 ECJ European  Hortiplant v Commission (Rec.2001,p.II-1665) (Judgment) T-143/99 14 Jun 2001 ECFI European  Commission v Autriche (Judgment) C-473/99; [2001] EUECJ C-473/99 14 Jun 2001 ECJ European [ Bailii ]  Bactria v Commission (Rec.2001,p.II-1721) (Order) T-339/00 15 Jun 2001 ECFI European  Bactria v Commission (Rec 2001,p II-1721) T-339/00 15 Jun 2001 ECFI European  Buisson v Commission (Rec.2001,p.FP-IA-131,II-601) (Judgment) T-243/99 20 Jun 2001 ECFI European  Euroalliages v Commission T-188/99; [2001] EUECJ T-188/99 20 Jun 2001 ECFI A.W.H. Meij, P European ECJ 1. An action for annulment brought by a natural or legal person is not admissible unless the applicant has an interest in seeing the contested measure annulled. Such an interest can be present only if the annulment of the measure is itself capable of having legal consequences. That is the case for annulment of a decision terminating the expiry review of anti-dumping measures under Article 11(2) of the basic anti-dumping regulation (Regulation No 384/96) initiated at the request of an association of production companies representing the Community industry. (see paras 26-29) 2. It is clear from the first subparagraph of Article 11(2) of the basic anti-dumping regulation (Regulation No 384/96) that retention of a measure depends on the result of an assessment of the consequences of its expiry, that is, on a forecast based on hypotheses regarding future developments in the situation on the market concerned. It is also clear that the mere possibility that injury might continue or recur is insufficient to justify retaining a measure; that is dependent on the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of injury being established. It is not necessary for there to be proof of the continuation or recurrence of injury, merely that there should exist a likelihood of this. (see paras 42, 44) 3. In the context of an expiry review of anti-dumping measures under Article 11(2) of the basic anti-dumping regulation (Regulation No 384/96), the assessment of the likelihood of recurrence of the injury after expiry of the measures adopted calls for an appraisal of complex economic questions in which the Community institutions have a wide discretion. Judicial review of such an assessment must therefore be limited to verifying whether the procedural rules have been complied with, whether the facts on which the contested choice is based have been accurately stated and whether there has been a manifest error in assessing those facts or a misuse of powers. (see para. 46) 4. The conditions for initiating an expiry review of anti-dumping measures should not be confused with the conditions for retaining the measures. It is clear from the broad logic of Article 11(2) of the basic anti-dumping regulation (Regulation No 384/96) that it is sufficient for the purposes of initiating a review that the request submitted on behalf of the Community industry be supported in particular by evidence of one of the three situations listed in the second sentence of the second subparagraph of Article 11(2). Those three situations do not, as such, constitute criteria for assessing the likelihood of recurrence of injury within the meaning of the first subparagraph of Article 11(2). As far as the first situation is concerned, a review should be initiated on the basis of sufficient evidence that dumping and injury are continuing; it is not necessary that continuation be already established. However, the existence of such evidence should not prejudice the result of the review. As far as the second situation is concerned, admittedly a review should be conducted where the request contains sufficient evidence that removal of the injury is due in whole or in part to the existence of measures. However, removal alone does not support the conclusion that it is likely that injury will recur if the measures expire. The third situation concerns expressly the likelihood of further injurious dumping. It is not necessary, however, in order for a review to be initiated, that the circumstances of exporters and the market conditions which make recurrence of dumping and injury likely be actually established. The request for a review need merely contain evidence on which to base the relevant inquiry. However, in order to retain measures in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 11(2) of the basic regulation, the circumstances surrounding that likelihood must be established on the basis of the results of an investigation. (see paras 51-56) 5. The rule laid down in Article 6(1) of the basic anti-dumping regulation (Regulation No 384/96) that information relating to a period subsequent to the investigation period is not, normally, to be taken into account applies also to investigations relating to expiry reviews. Article 11(2) of the basic regulation makes the retention of protective measures after the expiry of a five-year period conditional upon the conduct of an investigation in accordance with the basic regulation in order to establish the factual data from which the likelihood of recurrence of injury may be inferred. However, where the results of such an investigation are insufficient to justify retaining anti-dumping duties, the basic regulation provides that they should expire. That means that factors which arise after the investigation period cannot be taken into account in order to retain anti-dumping measures.

Having given the French Republic formal notice to submit its observations, the Commission, on 18 February 2000, sent a reasoned opinion to the French Republic requesting it to adopt the measures necessary to comply with it within two months from the date of notification of the opinion. Since it received no information as to whether the transposition of the directive had been completed, the Commission brought the present action. 4 Pointing out the obligations of the Member States under the third paragraph of Article 249 EC, the Commission submits that the French Republic was required to take the measures necessary to comply with Directive 98/4 within the prescribed period. 5 The French Republic, which does not deny the failure, states that Directive 98/4 is in the course of transposition. 6 Since the directive has thus not been transposed within the prescribed period, the Commission's action must be regarded as well founded. 7 It must therefore be held that, by failing to adopt, within the prescribed period, all the laws, regulations and administrative measures necessary to comply with Directive 98/4, the French Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under that directive.
