Operative part of the judgment
The Court:

1. |
Declares that, by failing to take measures to ensure that, as from 31 December 1998, urban waste-water from the agglomeration of several communes of the Province of Varese situated in the basin of the River Olona is subject to more stringent treatment than the secondary treatment or equivalent treatment provided for in Article 4 of Council Directive 91/271/EEC of 21 May 1991 concerning urban waste-water treatment, the Italian Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 5(2) and (5) of that directive; |
|
2. |
Orders the Italian Republic to pay the costs. |
