An action against the Hellenic Republic was brought before the Court of Justice of the European Communities on 21 November 2005 by the Commission of the European Communities, represented by G. Zavvos and G. Braun, of its Legal Service, with an address for service in Luxembourg.

order the Hellenic Republic to pay the costs.
