Pleas in law and main arguments
According to the Commission, the submission by the Hellenic Republic to the International Maritime Organisation of a proposal in respect of a matter covered by Regulation (EC) No 725/2004 (1) on enhancing ship and port facility security, without being authorised so to do by the Community, constitutes a breach of its obligations under Articles 10, 71 and 80(2) of the Treaty establishing the European Community.
The Commission submits that, since the adoption of Regulation No 725/2004, the Community has had exclusive competence with regard to entering into international obligations in the field of maritime security. Consequently, the Member States no longer have the power to present national views to the International Maritime Organisation on matters which fall within exclusive Community competence, unless they receive such authorisation from the Community.
