(Case C-427/04)

Language of the case: Greek
An action against the Hellenic Republic was brought before the Court of Justice of the European Communities on 5 October 2004 by the Commission of the European Communities, represented by Wouter Wils and Georgios Zavvos, members of the Commission's Legal Service.
The applicant claims that the Court should:
1) |
declare that, by failing to adopt the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with Directive 2001/16/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 March 2001 on the interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system (1), and in any event by failing to inform the Commission thereof, the Hellenic Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under that directive. |
2) |
order the Hellenic Republic to pay the costs. |
Pleas in law and main arguments
The period prescribed for transposing the directive into national law expired on 20 April 2003.
