Information procedure — Technical rules (Text with EEA relevance)
Official Journal C 152 , 26/06/2002 P. 0002 - 0004
Information procedure - Technical rules (2002/C 152/02) (Text with EEA relevance) Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations and rules on Information Society services (OJ L 204, 21.7.1998, p. 37; OJ L 217, 5.8.1998, p. 18). Notifications of draft national technical rules received by the Commission >TABLE> The Commission draws attention to the judgment given on 30 April 1996 in the "CIA Security" case (C-194/94 - ECR I, p. 2201), in which the Court of Justice ruled that Articles 8 and 9 of Directive 98/34/EC (formerly 83/189/EEC) are to be interpreted as meaning that individuals may rely on them before the national court which must decline to apply a national technical regulation which has not been notified in accordance with the Directive. This judgment confirms the Commission's Communication of 1 October 1986 (OJ C 245, 1.10.1986, p. 4). Accordingly, breach of the obligation to notify renders the technical regulations concerned inapplicable, so that they are unenforceable against individuals.
