Pleas in law and main arguments
The action brought by the Commission relates to the projects approved or, as the case may be, implemented by the Spanish authorities with respect to the widening and/or upgrading of the local M-501 road (Community of Madrid). The Commission takes the view that the Kingdom of Spain has failed, with respect to those projects, to fulfil its obligations under Directive 85/337, in its original or amended version, and Directive 92/43, as interpreted by the judgments of the Court of Justice of 13 January 2005 in Case C-117/03 and of 14 September 2006 in Case C-244/05.
