(Case C-402/04)

An action against the French Republic was brought before the Court of Justice of the European Communities on 22 September 2004 by the Commission of the European Communities, represented by Knut Simonssen, acting as Agent, with an address for service in Luxembourg.
The Commission of the European Communities claims that the Court should:
|
1. |
declare that by failing to adopt the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with Directive 2001/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 December 2001 establishing harmonised requirements and procedures for the safe loading and unloading of bulk carriers (1), and in any event, by failing to communicate them to the Commission, the French Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under that directive; |
|
2. |
order the French Republic to pay the costs. |
Pleas in law and main arguments:
The period allowed for the transposition of the Directive expired on 5 August 2003.
