(5)

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 notified 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.
