    C 168/2

    Action brought on 16 April 2004 by the Commission of the European Communities against the Hellenic Republic

    (Case C-179/04)

    (2004/C 168/02)

    An action against the Hellenic Republic was brought before the Court of Justice of the European Communities on 16 April 2004 by the Commission of the European Communities, represented by Georgios Zavvos, a member of its Legal Service.

    The Commission claims that the Court should:

    —

    declare that, by failing to adopt the necessary laws, regulations and administrative provisions to comply with Directive 2000/64/EC (1) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 November 2000 amending Directives 85/611/EEC, 92/96/EEC and 93/22/EEC as regards exchange of information with third countries, and in any event by failing to communicate such provisions to the Commission, the Hellenic Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under that Directive.

    —

    order the Hellenic Republic to pay the costs.

    Pleas in law and main arguments

    According to the settled case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Communities, a Member State may not rely on domestic circumstances or difficulties to justify failure to comply with its obligations and the time-limits prescribed by Community law.

    (1)  OJ L 290 of 17.11.200, p. 27.
