C 18/17

The Commission draws attention to the judgement delivered 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 national courts which must decline to apply a national technical regulation which has not been noti-
fied in accordance with the Directive.

This judgement 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,
and consequently unenforceable against individuals.
