Language of the case: French
An action against the Kingdom of Belgium was brought before the Court of Justice of the European Communities on 31 January 2005 by the Commission of the European Communities, represented by Sara Pardo Quintillán and Joanna Hottiaux, acting as Agents, with an address for service in Luxembourg.
The Commission of the European Communities claims that the Court should:
1. |
declare that, by failing to adopt the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2000 establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy (1) and, in any event, by failing to communicate them to the Commission, 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 period for transposition of the Directive into national law expired on 22 December 2003.
