Action brought on 1 February 2006 by the Commission of the European Communities against the Kingdom of Belgium
(Case C-54/06)
(2006/C 74/19)
Language of the case: French
An action against the Kingdom of Belgium was brought before the Court of Justice of the European Communities on 1 February 2006 by the Commission of the European Communities, represented by J. Hottiaux and F. Simonetti, acting as Agents, with an address for service in Luxembourg.
The Commission claims that the Court should:
|
1. |
declare that, by failing to adopt all the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with Directive 2001/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 June 2001 on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment (1), the Kingdom of Belgium has failed to fulfil its obligations under that directive; |
|
2. |
order the Kingdom of Belgium to pay the costs. |
Pleas in law and main arguments
The time for transposing the directive expired on 21 July 2004. Belgium still has not adopted all the measures which come within the powers of the Flemish Region and of the Federal Government, or, in any event, has not informed the Commission of them.
