An action against the Kingdom of Belgium was brought before the Court of Justice of the European Communities on 2 September 2004 by the Commission of the European Communities, represented by M. Shotter, acting as Agent, with an address for service in Luxembourg.

|
— |
Order the Kingdom of Belgium to pay the costs. |
Pleas in law and main arguments
