(1) Year — registration number — Member State of origin.
(2) Period during which the draft may not be adopted.
(3) No standstill period since the Commission accepts the grounds of urgent adoption invoked by the notifying Member State.
(4) No standstill period since the measure concerns technical specifications or other requirements linked to fiscal or financial measures, pursuant to the third indent of the

second paragraph of Article 1(11) of Directive 98/34/EC.

(5) Information procedure closed.

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.
