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 Directive98/34/EC (formerly83/189/EEC) are to be interpreted as meaning that individuals mayrelyon thembefore the national court which must decline to applya national technical regulation which has not beennotified 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 theyare unenforceable against individuals.
