Member States - Obligations - Implementation of directives - Failure - Justification - Not permissible
(EC Treaty, Art. 169)
In justifying failure to comply with the obligations and time-limits laid down by a directive, a Member State may not rely either on mere apprehension of internal difficulties or the fact that the failure to adopt measures to transpose the directive has had no adverse consequences on other Member States.
