    2.

    Order Iceland to bear the costs of these proceedings.

    Legal and factual background and pleas in law adduced in support:

    —

    The application addresses Iceland’s failure to comply, no later than 8 February 2017, with a reasoned opinion delivered by the EFTA Surveillance Authority on 8 December 2016 regarding that State’s failure to implement into its national legal order Directive 2014/29/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of simple pressure vessels, as referred to at point 6f of Chapter VIII of Annex II to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and as adapted to that Agreement by way of Protocol 1 thereto (‘the Act’).

    The EFTA Surveillance Authority submits that Iceland has failed to fulfil its obligations under the Act and under Article 7 of the EEA Agreement by failing to adopt the measures necessary to implement the Act within the time prescribed.
