An action against the Federal Republic of Germany was brought before the Court of Justice of the European Communities on 29 June 2004 by the Commission of the European Communities, represented by Gerald Braun and Arnaud Bordes of its Legal Service, with an address for service in Luxembourg.

|
2. |
order the Federal Republic of Germany to pay the costs. |
Pleas in law and main arguments:
The period for transposition of Directives 2001/88/EC and 2001/93/EC expired on 1 January 2003.
