An action against the Portuguese Republic was brought before the Court of Justice of the European Communities on 14 December 2004 by the Commission of the European Communities, represented by R. Vidal Puig, acting as Agent, with an address for service in Luxembourg.

|
— |
Order the Portuguese Republic to pay the costs. |
