    Applicant: Commission of the European Communities (represented by: B. Schima and B. Stromsky, agents)

    declare that, by introducing a de facto obligation on economic operators wishing to market in Belgium construction products legally produced and/or marketed in another Member State of the European Union to obtain ‘BENOR’ or ‘ATG’ marks denoting conformity for the marketing of these products in Belgium, the Kingdom of Belgium has failed to fulfil its obligations under Articles 28 and 30 EC;
