The Commission draws attention to the judgment delivered on 30 April 1996 in the ‘CIA Security’ case (C-194/94, ECR I-2201), in which the Court of Justice ruled that Articles 8 and 9 of Directive 98/34/EC (formerly 83/189/EEC) are to be interpreted as meaning that individuals may rely on them before national courts which must decline to apply a national technical regulation which has not been notified in accordance with the Directive.
This judgment confirms the Commission's communication of 1 October 1986 (OJ C 245, 1.10.1986, p. 4).
Accordingly, breach of the obligation to notify renders the technical regulations concerned inapplicable, and consequently unenforceable against individuals.
