INTRODUCTION-  1 -
1. Following a Resolution adopted by the European Parliament on
9 February 1983, the President of the Commission told at ameefjng of the 
Legal Affairs Committee on 16 June 1983 that the Commission would submit to 
Parliament an annual report on all infringements, in addition to the existing 
publications, subject to the exclusion of any document of a confidential
nature. To meet another wish expressed by Parliament, the report would also
contain a survey of the implementation of direct! es by ^Member States. The
first such report was sent to Parliament on 10 April 1984.
2. In line with these undertakings and the principles followed in drawing up
the first annual report, this second report includes a list of infringements 
of the Treaties and regulations in 1984 (Annex A) and a list providing a 
survey of the implementation of directives during the same year (Annex B).  
This survey of implementation shows only those directives which have given 
rise to problems, about 200 out of a total of some 700 due for implementation, 
though some of the others are subject to implementation by Greece (see 
point 12 below). The "sector-by-sector analysis" supplies a commentary on the 
two lists, divided by subject-matter.
3. Before entering on the substance of the problem the first report described 
the internal procedures followed by the Commission in carrying out its task as 
guardian of Community law. These procedures have been changed in some 
respects in the meantime. In 1984 the Commission began to carry out more 
frequent reviews of infringement proceedings already initiated ("established" 
infringements), and there were also more frequent examinations of urgent cases 
outside the regular review meetings.
4. In 1984 the Commission initiated infringement proceedings in 454 cases,
delivered 148 reasoned opinions and brought 54 cases before the
Court of Justice; taking the three figures together, this represents an 
increase of more than 50% over 1983 and more than 20% over 1982. These 
figures are well below the total number of cases considered by the Commission.
5. This report takes account of the main suggestions put forward at the 
Legal Affairs Committee meeting on 31 November 1984 and in Parliamentary 
questions. Thus
(a) the sector-by-sector analysis mentions Member States by name; of course 
the lists in the annexes continue to supply foil details, as in the first 
report;

(b) for the first time, the Commission has given Parliament figures for 
complaints and on infringements detected by the Commission's own 
inquiries since 1982;
(c) this report supplies further information on compliance by Member States 
with judgments of the Court of Justice»
6. The report is intended to meet Parliament's desire for fuller information. 
As the Commission said Last year, the report is additional to the other forms 
of information published (in the monthly Bulletin of the European Communities, 
the·General Report, answers to Parliamentary questions, and so on); however, 
it has to respect certain rules of confidentiality, particularly with regard 
to the first stage of proceedings, the sending of a letter of formal notice.
7. The statistical tables and the sector by sector analysis provide an 
overview of action taken by the Commission in 1984. Table No 1 gives the 
number of cases in which proceedings were initiated or pursued since 1979 in 
respect of each Member State, while Table No 2 shows cases over the same 
period classified by major sectors of activity. Table No 3 shows proceedings 
initiated in connection with directives and for infringement of the Treaties 
or regulations. Table No 4 gives figures for complaints and for infringements 
detected by the Commission’s own inquiries, classified by Member State and by 
the Commission department concerned. Table No 5 shows cases referred to the 
Court of Justice, and whether judgment was given for the Member State or for 
the Commission. It also supplies a list of judgments not complied with by 
31 December 1984.
8. It will be seen first of alt from Table No 1 that, as in previous years, 
the number of cases falls off as each successive stage of the procedure laid 
down in Article 169 of the EEC Treaty is reached. It was remarked in the 
first report2 that certain Member States were inclined to bring infringements 
to an end only at the reasoned opinion stage or even later; unfortunately this 
remained true in 1984. The Commission regards this as a worrying tendency and 
in its contacts at political level and with national government departments it 
has been trying to secure a change in this behaviour.
9. In 1984 the number of infringement proceedings initiated or pursued grew
significantly. As the Commission said in the first report, regarding the 
growth observed in 1983, there is no one cause for this: there has been an
increase in the number of actual infringements, but monitoring procedures have 
also been tightened.
PCOM(84) 181 final, point 11. 
X0MC84) 181 final, point 13.

- 3 -I
10. As regards directives, Tables No 2 and No 3 show that the number of cases 
in which infringement proceedings were initiated for failure to notify 
implementing measures by the required dat-'e increas'd in absolute terms. The 
bulk of the growth here is due to the fact that in 1983 the Commission dropped 
proceedings in a fairly large number of old cases, so as to be able to send 
fresh letters of formal notice with a more detailed statement of its grounds, 
for reasons of legal certaint’  expounded in certain dicta of the 
Court of Justice; these fresh letters were for th<; most part sent in 1984. 
Accordingly, this increase does not alter the fact, ■  'ted in the first report, 
that the proportion of proceedings concerned wits failure to transpose 
directives has been falling off, owing partly to the effectiveness of the 
measures taken and partly to a reduction in the number of directives requiring 
implementation.
11. Given the difficulties, particularly constitutional and administrative, 
experienced by certain Member States in incorporating directives into domestic 
law, the Commission has been seeking to induce an awareness of the problem at 
the highest levels. A number of cases were settled in Italy following action 
of this kind, some of them being of very long standing and already condemned 
by the Court of Justice. In the case of Greece the Commission has been 
seeking through all useful channels to facilitate the integration of the 
country into the Community legal order. It has noted significant progress in 
this respect.
12. As to the application of the Treaty and of regulations, the tables 
confirm the increase in proceedings since 1979. Annex A shows that in 
relation to 1983 the number of cases where proceedings reached the stage of a 
reasoned opinion or reference to the Court of Justice increased by more than 
35%. The Commission is aware that the increase is not due solely to the 
stricter measures it has itself taken. This is shown by the growing number of 
complaints lodged since 1982 (see Table No 4), although figures of this kind 
cannot give a full picture of the situation here. They take no account of 
whether a particular infringement has a very serious effect on the proper 
operation of the common market or is perhaps less important, and they provide 
no information on the context in which the infringement was committed: is it 
an isolated case, or does it form part of a series of measures?
13. The sector-by-sector analysis and Tables No 2 and No 3 show that, as in 
1983, the infringements listed relate essentially to obstacles to free 
movement for both industrial and agricultural products (Articles 30 et seq.  
and 95 of the EEC Treaty), which is essential if the single market is to 
operate properly.
14. Progress towards integration has had the effect of highlighting the 
existence of infringements, particularly in that the man in the street is
^C0M(84) 181 final, point 18.

growing more aware of the building of the Community. Ordinary citizens are 
quite rightly growing impatient at the instances of failure to comply with 
Community law which they see around them or are themselves subjected to. Such 
infringements must in the Commission's view be dealt with rapidly, not only 
because they are a bad thing in themselves, but above alt in order to prevent 
proliferation as a result of retaliatory action for example.
15. Lastly, Table No 5 deals with the implementation of judgments of the 
Court of Justice. It cannot be inferred from the number of judgments not yet 
complied with, most of which concern directives and some of which are still 
very recent, that the Member States in question are deliberately trying to 
avoid complying with Community taw. The main cause is rather the legislative 
difficulties encountered by certain governments. From the subjects 
principally concerned it can be concluded that the problem most often arises 
where regionalized structures complicate the process of adapting domestic law.
16. The list includes both judgments which have not to the Commission’s 
knowledge been complied with and those which have been only partially complied 
with, such as the one against Italy in Case 221/83, on veterinary surgeons. 
It also indicates where Member States have taken practical steps showing that 
they intend to comply. The Commission will be watching to ensure that they do 
so.
17. If the figures in the first report are compared with those given here, it 
will be seen that the Member States have made efforts to comply with Court 
judgments. Twelve judgments have in the meantime been implemented.
18. The Commission is giving its full attention to this matter. In certain 
particularly worrying cases, in addition to taking infringement proceedings 
for failure to comply with Article 171 of the EEC Treaty, it will seek to draw 
attention to the gravity of the Member State’s offence through all appropriate 
political and administrative channets so that the infringement can be ended 
rapidly. It hopes that the Members of the European Parliament wilt give it 
their support here, and encourage rapid compliance with Court judgments 
through their contacts with their domestic parliaments and by bringing the 
matter home to public opinion.

19. The sector-by-sector analysis below describes the Commission's monitoring 
activities according to the field involved, for example their extension to new 
policies such as fisheries and developments in areas such as external 
relations policy or budgetary matters. I

SECTOR-BY-SECTOR ANALYSIS 
Statistical matters
20. The obligations of the Member States in the s atistical field for the
most part consist in furnishing the Commission with statistical data dealing
with a particular subject at set intervals and in'prescribed conditions of 
form and content.
21. As in previous years, the infringement proceedings taken concerned
persistent delays in supplying information.
22. Thus Belgium is still not complying with the time-limits for furnishing 
external trade statistics, and Italy is not yet in a position to furnish a 
complete statement of goods transport carried out by Italian nationals. 
Administrative matters
23. A number of obligations are imposed on Member States by the
Staff Regulations. Non-compliance with those Regulations has given rise to two 
types of infringement proceedings:
(i) the Commission, after conducting negotiations with all the Member States 
with a view to arriving at a correct implementation of the provisions of the 
Staff Regulations on the transfer of pension rights, continued the 
infringement proceedings commenced against Belgium and the Netherlands.
(ii) The Commission also sent a reasoned opinion to the 
Federal Republic of Germany and to Belgium in view of their refusal to pay 
family allowances due in respect of officials' dependent children.
Budgetary matters
24. As regards the calculation of interest on account of late payment action 
was taken on two infringements by sending a reasoned opinion to the 
United Kingdom and commencing proceedings before the Court of Justice against 
the Federal Republic of Germany.
25. The Commission continues to pay close attention to infringements likely 
to affect the volume of own resources.

-  6 -
Economie and monetary policy
26. As regards the Liberalization of capital movements provided for by the 
Treaty and by two Council directives of 1960 and 1962 the Commission continued 
two infringement proceedings against Greece for failure to liberalize blocked 
assets and investments in immovable property made by residents of the other 
Member States.
27. As for current payments (Article 106 of the Treaty) and more precisely 
transfers connected with tourism and other forms of travel, the Commission, 
following the Court's judgment of 31 January 1984, informed certain 
Member States of the conclusions it drew from that judgment. The Commission's 
view, put shortly, is that residents of Member States must be assured of being 
able to have available the resources necessary to meet any expenses incurred 
abroad, whether this is done by transfers through approved intermediaries, by 
granting at the outset fixed allowances of foreign currency with provision for 
them to be increased on production of prima facie evidence, and possibly 
subsequent justification, or by the use of appropriate instruments of payment 
while abroad.
28. At the same time the Commission asked to be informed of the provisions 
the Member States concerned intended to adopt in order to comply with the 
principles laid down by the Court. It took note of the liberalization 
measures already existing in this field, and is following the matter with 
close attention in close collaboration with the competent national 
authorities.
1
Free movement of goods
29. With a view to strengthening the feeling of solidarity and of belonging
to a community among citizens of the Member States the Commission in 1984 
devoted special attention to the creation of a "people's Europe". In this 
context it set itself as a priority objective the elimination of non-tariff 
barriers contravening Articles 30 to 36 of the EEC Treaty which prevent
citizens from benefiting fully from the opportunities afforded by the
Common Market.
30. The first problem is to change the circumstances attendant on the
crossing of frontiers within the Community by abolishing out-dated customs 
checks, tiresome formalities, unnecessary searches, excessive waiting,
troublesome questioning and - a particularly regrettable phenomenon 
disproportionate administrative, financial and criminal penalties. In view of 
the very small macro-economic impact of goods and personal effects "imported" 
by individuals and the fact that these products have already borne taxes and 
excise duties in their country of origin^ it seems at the present stage of 
European integration and administrative cooperation entirely misconceived to 
see in every crossing of an internal frontier a risk of fraud justifying 
checks and in every omission or error in a declaration a serious fault 
necessitating confiscation of the object o f fines of up to double the value of 
the goods. In this type of situation the Commission does not confine itself 
to bringing the infringement to an end but also tries to arrange for the 
reimbursement of unreasonable fines.
For agricultural products see the chapter dealing with agriculture.

- 7 -
31. Formalities and checks at frontiers go hand-in-hand with administrative 
obstacles within Member States that prevent the citizen from enjoying the 
benefit of the European dimension whether as a cons mer or as a tourist. For 
example, during the past three years the Commission has received a great many 
complaints concerning the difficulties encountered on registering vehicles 
imported from another Member Stat'v and the problv.^s arising from movement 
within the Community of vehicles equipped with l radio. In 1984 the 
Commission wrote to all the Member States setting out the principles of 
Community law governing these two subjects; it askdd them to examine their 
rules in the light of these principles and, where necessary, to bring them 
into line with the obligations derived from Community law.
32. Another sector the Commission is still studying attentively is that of 
food products (for example bread, margarine, milk substitutes, jellied sweets, 
caviar substitutes) and particularly alcoholic drinks (beer, vermouth, rum, 
gin, cider and sparkling grape juice). A whole panoply of national rules deal 
with the composition, the description or the packing of products and require 
manufacturers in other Member States to adapt their products to the rules of 
the national market thus restricting the free choice of consumers and 
preventing the free movement of products lawfully manufactured and marketed in 
another Member State. The provisions of Articles 30 et seq. of the EEC Treaty 
as interpreted in the Cassis de Dijon case permit wider freedom of trade 
between the Member States while at the same time avoiding the creation of a 
complete range of Euro-products in which national and regional characteristics 
and traditions would be lost.
33. As regards the pharmaceutical industry, the Commission has commenced 
proceedings under Article 169 of the Treaty against several Member States in 
view of the incompatibility of their rules on price control over 
pharmaceutical products and reimbursement of the cost of such products under 
social "security with Articles 30 et seq. of the Treaty. The Commission bases 
its case on the principles enunciated by the Court of Justice on the subject 
of national price rules, particularly in its judgment in Case 181/82 Roussel 
on price control and its judgment in Case 238/82 Duphar on reimbursement.
34. The number of cases examined is constantly growing, particularly if 
presumed infringements and complaints are included; the Commission settles 
the majority of these cases by means of informal contacts and almost all of 
them without bringing the matter before the Court. While the volume of such 
material is partly due to the economic difficulties of the Member States and 
the protectionist pressures to which their governments are subject, its growth 
is also due to the time that must necessarily elapse between the lodging of a 
complaint and the settlement of the case.

-  8 -
35. The Commission is conscious of the fact that this situation tends to 
favour Member States committing infringements and to impair public confidence 
in the future of the Common Market. It is trying to remedy the situation by 
preventing infringements.
36. Thus Directive 83/189/EEC, which came into force on 1 April 1984 requires 
Member States to notify their draft technical rules to the Commission. The 
Commission is then required to examine whether the implementation of the draft 
rules would be likely to affect the movement of goods; if so, it indicates to 
the Member State concerned the amendments that appear necessary to remove or 
limit the obstacles to trade, and may also propose Community legislation or 
the creation of European standards. This system, by preventing new obstacles 
from arising, clearly offers the great advantage of reducing in the long term 
the workload of the Community institutions both in terms of harmonizing 
legislation and in proceeding against infringements. In the short term, 
however, it is more likely to increase the Commission’s workload since it wilt 
have to detect in each case, and within a short time limit, the obstacles 
which might result from the implementation of provisions which are still only 
in draft and which at that stage may seem innocuous.
37. As regards harmonization designed to eliminate technical barriers to 
trade in view of the volume of Community law requiring to be incorporated in 
national law the situation may be regarded as satisfactory.
38. This also applies to the 154 harmonization directives concerned with 
industrial products for which the time limit for incorporation had expired. 
In response to steady pressure by the Commission, the Member States continued 
in 1984 their efforts to incorporate them.
39. Directives of this kind are sufficiently precise and detailed not to give 
rise to many cases of non-compliance or incorrect application, except - and 
this is worth stressing - for the "low tension" directive, which has given 
rise to problems of interpretation.
40. It is rare for such proceedings to reach the stage of an action before 
the Court of Justice, since the delays in incorporation are usually due to 
administrative problems that tend to resolve themselves at the latest 
following issue of a reasoned opinion. Such proceedings involve so many 
Member States that it is not possible to draw any inference regarding the 
attitude to its obligations of any particular Member State.
41. As regards the pharmaceutical industry, the increase in the number of 
proceedings during the year can doubtless be explained by the particularly 
complex nature of pharmaceutical legislation, which inevitably gives rise to 
legal or administrative delays. However, the basic directives concerning 
pharmaceutical specialities for the use of humans have not yet been 
incorporated into national law either by Greece or by Italy.
42. So far as chemical products are concerned, the directives concern 
particularly detergents and fertilizers and dangerous preparations and 
substances, where the provisions are also concerned with the protection of 
consumers by means of labelling. While the number of cases giving rise to 
proceedings is relatively Large, it must be stressed that the situation has 
improved during the second half of 1984. The Commission hopes that this trend 
will continue so that during the coming year a certain number of these 
proceedings can be terminated.

- 9 -
Free movement of persons and freedom to provide services
43. The Commission commenced infringement proceedings against Greece for 
failure to incorporate Directive 73/148/EEC on the abolition of restrictions 
on movement and residence in the Community for nationals of Member States and 
their families, and for maintaining the requirement that travellers arriving 
by air have to complete an embarkation card. It continued the proceedings 
against Ireland for failure to incorporate that directive correctly into 
national law.
44. The number of infringements of the directives issued under Article 57 of 
the EEC Treaty with a view to ensuring the freedom of movement of persons 
practising a profession (doctors, nurses responsible for general care, 
dentists, midwives, lawyers, hairdressers, transport agents) has doubled in 
comparison with the preceding year. Whilst in some cases the infringements 
concern merely a failure to communicate the national implementing measures by 
the time limit set, some of the proceedings concern incorrect implementation 
and discrimination (Articles 52 and 59 of the EEC Treaty) on grounds of 
nationality against persons wishing to take up a profession, particularly in 
France and Italy.
45. As regards the company law directives based on Article 54(3)(g) of the 
EEC Treaty, intended to coordinate the safeguards which, for the protection of 
the interests of members and others, are required of companies or firms, the 
number of infringements is substantially less than in the preceding year.
46. In 1984 the Commission was able to terminate seven proceedings leaving 
still unsettled two cases of failure to implement a judgment of the 
Court of Justice (Belgium and Italy) concerning failure to incorporate into 
national law the second directive on the constitution of limited companies and 
three cases of failure to communicate national implementing measures dealing 
with the fourth directive on the annual accounts of certain forms of company. 
On these cases the Commission has decided to commence actions before the 
Court of Justice (Germany, Ireland and Italy).
Customs Union
47. During 1984 infringements relating to charges having equivalent effect to 
customs duties (Articles 9 et seq. of the EEC Treaty) have been less numerous 
than those concerning customs rules (regulations and directives).

-  10  -
48. Three cases have been terminated following steps taken by the 
Member State concerned to give effect to the Court's judgments ruling that 
certain charges imposed on imports in international trade had equivalent 
effect to customs duties. Another case has been closed following compliance 
by the Member State concerned with a reasoned decision taken by the Commission 
under Article 88 of the ECSC Treaty.
49. On the other hand proceedings commenced against Belgium concerning a 
charge having equivalent effect have not been terminated because that 
Member State has not yet taken the steps necessary to give effect to the 
Court's judgment. The Commission has therefore decided to commence fresh 
infringement proceedings based on Article 171 of the Treaty.
50. The Commission has commenced an action before the Court against the 
United Kingdom in a case concerning the origin of products resulting from 
joint fishing by a Community and a non-Community boat.
51. Four infringement proceedings reached the reasoned opinion stage. Two of 
them relate to charges considered by the Commission to have an effect 
equivalent to customs duties and the other two to an incorrect application of 
the customs rules on the common customs tariff and quotas.
52. So far as directives are concerned the majority of the infringements 
concern the failure of Member States to communicate to the Commission the 
national measures necessary to incorporate into domestic law certain 
directives relating to inward processing (processing or transformation under 
customs supervision of non-Community goods with a view to their re-export) and 
export of goods. However, the majority of these proceedings have been 
terminated, since the Member States concerned communicated their implementing 
measures after receiving the letter of formal notice.
53. It should be noted that the action taken by the Commission against 
certain Member States under Article 169 of the Treaty in relation to customs 
matters has not always been in response to complaints, but has also included 
cases detected by the Commission's own enquiries, particularly in the course 
of inspection visits to the Member States in the context of monitoring the 
Community's own resources.
Competition
54. Article 37 of the EEC Treaty requires Member States to adjust any state 
monopolies of a commercial character. In 1984 the Commission dealt with two 
infringements by France.
55. In the case of the monopoly in manufactured tobacco, the Commission is 
observing closely the application of the measures taken recently, which would 
put an end to the infringement by widening the rules on access to the trade to 
include nationals of other Member States and regularizing the terms for the 
grant of credit to retail tobacconists.

-  11  -
56. On the other hand the Commission has delivered a reasoned opinion calling 
for the adjustment of the spirits monopoly, which includes a system of 
surcharges and levies liable to discriminate against spirits imported from 
other Member States.
Banks, insurance etc.
57. In the area of financial institutions the Commission has decided to 
commence proceedings against the Netherlands under Article 169 of the 
EEC Treaty for failure to observe Article 171 of the Treaty, in view of the 
fact that that State has not yet complied with the Court's judgment in 
Case 160/82 concerning the taking-up and the pursuit of the business of direct 
insurance other than life assurance.
58. The Commission is awaiting the Court's judgment in five cases it brought 
before the Court in two different fields. In the context of freedom of 
establishment an action before the Court was commenced against France, which 
refuses to grant a tax credit to agencies and branches of insurance, re­
insurance and capital redemption companies from other Member States, this 
credit being reserved for persons having their effective domicile (domicile 
réel) or registered office in France. In the context of freedom to provide 
services particularly in the field of co-insurance, actions were commenced 
against Germany, Denmark, France and Ireland on the grounds that the national 
implementing measures they have communicated are not in conformity with 
Community law.
59. As regards credit institutions, a reasoned opinion has been sent to 
France concerning the partial incorporation of the directive on information to 
be published on a regular basis by companies the shares of which have been 
admitted to official stock exchange listing.
6Q. The Commission also sent a reasoned opinion to Ireland, which had failed 
to incorporate into national law three directives relating to securities 
(conditions for the admission of securities to official listing; prospectus 
required for such admission; information to be published on a regular basis by 
companies the shares of which have been admitted to official listing) and 
sent a letter of formal notice to Belgium, Germany, Greece, Italy and 
Luxembourg concerning the failure to communicate national implementing 
measures. It also commenced infringement proceedings against France on the 
same ground, in relation to the directive on the conditions for the admission 
of securities to official listing.
61. On the same ground again, the Commission commenced the procedure provided 
for under Article 169 of the EEC Treaty against Italy and the Netherlands in 
relation to the directive coordinating provisions for the taking-up and the 
pursuit of the business of direct life assurance.

-  12  -
Taxation
62. The Commission issued a reasoned opinion in six new cases additional to 
the two cases which had already reached this stage and of which details are 
given in Annex A. One of these proceedings was commenced against Italy under 
Article 171 of the EEC Treaty for failure to give effect to the Court's 
judgment of 15 March 1983 in Case 319/81 concerning differential taxation of 
spi rits.
63. Three other cases in which the issue of a reasoned opinion produced no 
result have been brought before the Court of Justice; these are additional to 
the two cases still pending before the Court on this subject.
64. Finally, the Commission decided to terminate the proceedings commenced
against Italy regarding its system of excise duty on spirits since it had 
adapted its legislation to Community law, and the proceedings against the 
United Kingdom regarding the taxation of beer and wine following the
Court's judgment of 12 July 1983 (Case 170/78), since that country had also 
brought to an end the discrimination complained of.
65. In the case of Greece, the extent of the discriminations and their link
with the structure of the tax system are such that the only solution that has 
been found possible for bringing about as quickly as possible the tax
conditions needed for free movement of goods was to impose a regulatory tax, 
in order to compensate, over a transitional period, for the simultaneous 
abolition of the Greek fiscal practices discriminating against imports. The 
rates of this tax have been determined by reference to the protection enjoyed 
by similar or competing national products at the time the tax was introduced.
66. The gradual abolition of this transitional tax is intended to take effect
in accordance with a timetable such that it will be finally eliminated by
1 January 1989. The first reduction of 10% was duly made by the
Greek Government on 2 July 1984.
67. As regards the monitoring of the application of secondary legislation,
the Commission's main task is to supervise the application of the
Sixth VAT Directive (77/388/EEC).
68. The Commission therefore sent a reasoned opinion in seven new cases on 
the ground of incorrect application of this directive. These cases concern:
Ireland and the United Kingdom as regards the maintenance of zero rates;
France and Ireland as regards the reduction in the taxable base;
the United Kingdom as regards the exemption for services provided by
members of the medical and para-medical professions;
the Netherlands as regards the tax status of notaries and bailiffs;
the Federal Republic of Germany as regards the application of the
principle of "Organschaft" to companies established abroad.

- 13 -
69. The Commission brought actions before the Court of Justice under 
Article 169 of the EEC Treaty in three cases, namely:
against Ireland and the Netherlands as regards a reduction in the 
taxable amount in cases where goods are taken back;
- against Germany as regards the exemption for services rendered by 
carriers to the Federal Post Office.
70. The Commission also commenced proceedings against Belgium on the basis of 
Article 171 of the EEC Treaty for failure to comply with the judgment of the 
Court dated 10 April 1984 (Case 324/84) concerning the minimum basis of 
taxation for new and demonstration vehicles.
71. In the case of the new charge imposed by France on spirits and tobacco
for the benefit of social security funds, France has now amended its
legislation so as to bring to an end the infringement arising from the charge 
imposed on tobacco. As regards alcoholic drinks, a provision in the
Finance Bill for 1985 would, if adopted, settle this aspect also.
72. Finally, the Commission decided to terminate the proceedings commenced
against Germany, Italy, France and Denmark concerning the place of taxation of 
the service in the case of hiring out of movable tangible property, since the 
Tenth VAT Directive (84/386/EEC) adopted by the Council on 31 July 1984 has 
settled this matter. The case commenced against France concerning the 
exemption for automatic games may be settled shortly, since the
French Government has undertaken to take steps  to put an end to this
infringement in the Finance Bill for 1985.
73. In another case a reasoned opinion was issued concerning the incorrect 
application of Directive 72/464/EEC on manufactured tobacco. It concerned the 
Belgian system of fixed retail prices for tobacco products. Proceedings are 
also continuing against France, which has not given effect to the Court's
judgment of 21 June 1983 (Case 90/82 on the fixing of retail prices for 
tobacco), on the basis of Article 171 of the EEC Treaty.
74. In the course of monitoring the incorporation of Community rules into 
national law the Commission has had to commence several proceedings for 
failure by Member States to communicate their national implementing measures; 
a list of these is given in Annex B.
75. A number of these proceedings have been commenced on the basis of 
Article 171 of the EEC Treaty, chiefly against Italy, which has not adopted 
measures to comply with the tobacco directives 72/464/EEC and 77/805/EEC 
(judgment of 7 December 1982 in Case 41/82) or measures to comply with the new 
directive 79/32/EEC (definitions and categories of tobacco) despite the 
Court's judgment of 5 June 1984 (Case 280/83).
76. As far as Greece is concerned, incorporation of the VAT directives has 
been postponed until 1 January 1986 (Fifteenth VAT Directive 83/648/EEC).

-  14  -
Employ went;, education and social policy
77. As will be seen from the annexes, in 1984 the Commission had occasion to 
issue a reasoned opinion in four cases concerned respectively with inadequate 
implementation by Italy, Ireland, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom. The 
Commission had to commence an action before the Court against Belgium and 
Italy, in the latter case under two different headings. On the other hand, in 
five cases the Commission was able to terminate the proceedings after 
satisfying itself that the Member State in question had complied with the 
reasoned opinion or the Court's judgment.
78. The Commission also found that in one case the Member State had not 
complied within a reasonable time with the judgment the Court had given 
against it. In other cases it is continuing its investigations to determine 
how far the Court's judgments have been complied with. It also commenced 
proceedings in a case where a Member State had not communicated the measures 
implementing a directive.
79. A more specific examination is being made of certain rules. Thus the 
Commission adopted a report for the Council, sent also to the 
European Parliament and the Economic and Social Committee, on the extent to 
which the principle of equal pay has been applied in Greece. The Commission 
is also continuing its examination of the conclusions of the study it has made 
on the consequences of the judgments of the Court of Justice in Case 149/79 
concerning the application of a nationality condition for access to employment 
in the publie service.
80. On social affairs few matters remain in dispute. In a number of cases in 
which the Commission became aware of problems in applying Community law, it 
found that they result from the incorrect application of national law which 
itself is in accordance with Community law, and can be resolved by further 
study of the matter, or that the matter has been brought before national 
courts and they have been able to resolve it by referring questions to the 
Court of Justice for preliminary rulings. Consequently there are very few 
real infringements by Member States. Where substantial divergences remain - 
particularly in relation to free movement of workers equal pay for men and 
women and protection of workers in case of large-scale redundancies and 
transfer of businesses - the grounds for complaint on the part of the 
Commission often concern only minor aspects which do not seriously affect the 
acquis communautaire.
Environment and consumer protection
81. As regards environmental policy the Commission initiated 29 infringement 
proceedings and sent 46 reasoned opinions. An action before the Court was 
commenced against the Netherlands concerning the incorporation into national 
law of the groundwater directive.
82. During the year the Commission devoted special attention to the 
application of two directives, the one concerning the notification of new 
dangerous substances placed on the market and the one concerning conservation 
of wild birds. It felt obliged to commence fresh infringement proceedings 
against Belgium, which has not given effect to four judgments of the 
Court of Justice.

- 15 -
83. On consumer protection 11 fresh infringement proceedings were commenced, 
one of them against Italy for failing to give effect to a Court judgment. 
Three reasoned opinions were sent.
84. Overall, during 1984, the Commission terminated 25 cases on the 
environment and 13 on consumer protection, the Member States concerned having 
put an end to the infringement.
Agricultural policy
85. With regard to freedom of movement for agricultural products, 
infringements hampering trade vary as widely as they do for manufactured 
goods. Some examples are:
- technical requirements or quality criteria having the effect of limiting or 
discouraging imports. In particular the Commission took action against this 
type of measure in the case of the restrictions imposed on the marketing or 
import of butter, beef and veal in Greece and of fractionated butter in Italy;
- excessive or systematic checks, particularly health or phytosanitary 
checks, where these are more rigorous for imported products and are not 
justified under Article 36 of the EEC Treaty. The Commission has taken action 
against such practices in relation to game in Germany (this Member State took 
steps to bring the infringement to an end and thus enabled the Commission to 
terminate the proceedings) and in relation to imported poultrymeat in the 
United Kingdom and Ireland;
too much time taken for these checks, a practice the Commission condemned 
in connection with the importation of Cagliata cheese in Italy;
- excessively restricted customs facilities, including the closing by the 
Italian authorities of the frontier post at the Resia Pass to imports of 
butter and cheese;
requirement of licences, technical certificates or certificates of origin 
on import or export, such as those applied in relation to milk products and 
potatoes in Ireland, animal products in the United Kingdom, certain types of 
meat in Greece and horses for slaughtering and champagne in France;
- unjustified prohibitions, such as those affecting pasteurized milk in the 
United Kingdom, bananas in Greece and refined animal fat for human consumption 
in Germany.

- 16 -
86. As regard measures ruling the common market organisation^ infringements 
concern either the incorrect application of the Community rules or delay in 
the application of provisions which must often, if they are to produce the 
immediate impact intended by the Community legislature, take effect at short 
notice.
87. On this last point, the Commission felt obliged to take action on the 
delay by Italy in applying the Council regulations on the rationalization 
measures for  fruit production in the Community and the grant of a reconversion 
premium for wine growers, the Council regulation establishing in certain 
regions arrangements for encouraging the formation of groups of producers and 
the Council regulation making arrangements for the abandonment of areas under 
vines.
88. Moreover, as a result of enquiries made of the Member States concerning, 
the application of the Community rules on practical checks of the water 
content of frozen poultry, the Commission found that Italy had still not 
adopted any national legislation complying with the Community rules.
89. Incorrect application of Community rules affects the functioning of the 
market organizations, in the milk sector in the United Kingdom by reason of 
certain activities of the Milk Marketing Boards in relation to prices, in the 
fruit and vegetables sector in Italy and in the wine sector in Germany.
90. Failure to observe certain rules of the common organization of markets 
may make imports more difficult and thus impede the free movement of goods. 
Such is the case of the incorrect application of the common quality standards 
in the fruit and vegetables sector in Belgium. Such infringements also 
produce restrictive effects in trade within the Member States concerned and 
must for this reason be regarded as falling into the second category, namely 
that of infringements of the law governing the common agricultural 
organization itself.
91. The range of infringements is very wide. Some of them (slightly over 50% 
of reasoned opinions and 50% of actions before the Court of Justice) concern 
the freedom of movement of goods, while others concern the harmonious 
functioning of the market organizations and Community structural policy in 
agriculture.
92. The list given in the annexes shows that during the period under review, 
in relation to the, two categories of requirements just mentioned, the 
Commission issued 19 reasoned opinions and commenced four actions for default 
before the Court of Justice, while nine cases are still pending before the 
Court or have already reached the stage of judgment.
93. During the same period the Commission terminated 12 infringement 
proceedings which had reached the stage of a reasoned opinion or of 
commencement of an action before the Court.

- 17 -
94. Finally, the Commission was obliged to commence two fresh infringement 
proceedings for infringement of Article 171 of the EEC Treaty, since Italy has 
not yet amended its rules concerning quality standards for fruit and 
vegetables and the fixing of producers' prices for milk in compliance with the 
Court's judgments of 15 November 1983 (Case 32«:/82) and 7 February 1984 
(Case 166/82).
95. The majority of the infringements giving rise t ;  proceedings consisted in 
failure to communicate national implementing m-asures (43 proceedings 
commenced in 1984).
96. Although the Commission did commence infringement proceedings in relation 
to seeds and plants and phytosanitary checks, proceedings have been 
particularly numerous in relation to feedingstuffs (17) and veterinary 
supervision (15). Such proceedings have been chiefly against France (11) and 
Italy (17) for failure to communicate national implementing measures.
Fisheries
97. In monitoring the new common fisheries policy the Commission had to 
commence infringement proceedings against seven Member State for failure to 
observe the catch quotas allotted to them for the 1983-1984 season.
98. It also had to send a letter of formal notice to six of them for failure 
to apply, or incorrect application of, control procedures which were to be 
established to ensure observance of the rules governing the conservation of 
fishery resources.
Transport policy
99. The general situation in transport has improved in comparision with the 
preceding year, particularly as regards infringements of directly applicable 
Community law (regulations). For the 21 transport regulations, only one case 
has yet gone beyond the stage of a letter of formal notice. Two cases have 
been terminated.
100. As regards inland transport in particular, it must be noted that only 
France and the Netherlands are still involved in proceedings concerning the 
social provisions in the road transport sector. These proceedings have been 
suspended to await any decisions that may be reached in the discussions within 
the Council on a revision of the current rules (Regulation on social 
provisions No 543/69 and Regulation on the tachograph No 1463/70). Italy is 
also still committing an infringement by incorrect application of the 
Regulation on the Community quota. This infringement was confirmed by the 
Court of Justice in its judgment of 13 December 1984 (Case No 246/81).

- 18 -
101. A s  regards the 3 1  directives, out of a total of 1 1  proceedings, seven 
have been com m enced against five M em b er States for failure to communicate, or 
incorrectness of, the national implementing measures. O n e  case concerns an 
incorrect application of measures correctly incorporated into national law.
102. A s  regards the taking up of the occupation of road haulage operator and 
the mutual recognition of diplomas, Italy has still not communicated the 
measures implementing the directives despite the com m encem ent of fresh 
infringement proceedings for failure to give effect to the judgments given on 
this topic by the Court of Justice.
103. In the case of Directive 80/1263 concerning driving licences, and the 
proceedings com m enced against Belgium, Ireland and Italy for failure to 
communicate implementing measures, it m a y  be observed that the situation in 
Belgium is in the course of being regularized. Greece has adopted the 
necessary implementing measures.
104. A s  regards combined m eans of transport, a  field particularly important 
for the development of C om m unity transport, proceedings have been com m enced 
against Italy for failure to communicate implementing measures 
(Directive 82/603/EEC). A  dispute with that country on the application of 
Directive 75/130/EEC has been brought before the Court.
105. Whilst the situation in the air transport sector has not yet been 
completely regularized, it does not give rise to serious concern. Directive 
83/416 concerning the authorization of regular interregional air services is 
being applied. For four other M em b er States the implementing measures are at 
present under discussion. Proceedings have been com m enced against France and 
the Netherlands for failure to communicate implementing measures; these 
infringements are considered fairly serious since the directive provides that 
rights are to be conferred on individuals.
106. In relation to sea transport all the C om m unity regulations are being 
applied. T he directives have been incorporated in a satisfactory manner.
Energy p o licy
107. T he Commission continued to follow garticularly closely the trend in the 
prices of crude oil and petroleum produces in the C om m unity on the basis of 
the information the M em ber States are required to send to it each quarter. It 
continued the infringement proceedings com m enced last year against Belgium.

- 19 -
108. A s  announced in its first annual report, the Commission sent to the 
Council proposals to solve the problem of unsatisfactory implementation of 
Chapter V I of the Euratom Treaty by adopting a n e w  C om m unity supply system.
E xternal R elations
109. T he scope of the principle laid d o w n  :> y Article 113 of the 
Treaty of R o m e  whereby commercial policy falls wit in the competence of the 
Community, still gives rise to difficulties. Dispu ;s have arisen in various 
circumstances and the Commission has com m enced infringement proceedings 
against a M em b er State which had concluded, in the form of an exchange of 
letters, an agreement concerning agri-foodstuffs of a kind for which it w as no 
longer competent.
110. T he Commission is continuing to examine bilateral trade agreements 
com ing up for renewal and sometimes finds clauses in them which duplicate the 
commitments of the Com m unity. It will take the appropriate steps to rem edy 
this situation.
111. T he category of "economic cooperation" agreements, for which Council 
Decision 74/393/EEC establishes a system for dealing with infringements and 
reaching a preliminary conclusion, w as also systematically studied. A  certain 
num ber of presumed infringements are also being studied. In the period under 
review the Commission brought three cases before the Court (France-Mexico, 
France-Poland, France-South Korea) and issued a reasoned opinion in three 
other cases (Greece-Algeria, Greece-USSR, Greece-China).
112. Several cases involving possible failures to observe the obligation of 
consultation before granting or guaranteeing certain export credits 
(Decision 73/391/EEC) are at present being studied by the Commission.
Development cooperation p o licy
113. In this sphere the Commission's monitoring of the application of 
C om m unity law  is essentially designed to ensure observance by the M em b er 
States of the various protocols concluded in the context of the L o m é  
Convention.
114. T he Commission is following with particular attention the problems 
importers of bananas from the A C P  States seem  to encounter in tw o M em b er 
States.
