Action brought on 15 December 2022 — European Commission v Republic of Latvia
(Case C-762/22)
(2023/C 54/18)
Language of the case: Latvian

Parties


Applicant: European Commission (represented by: R. Tricot and I. Rubene, acting as Agents)

Defendant: Republic of Latvia

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


declare that, by failing to adopt, by 6 February 2018 at the latest, all the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply fully with Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom of 5 December 2013 laying down basic safety standards for protection against the dangers arising from exposure to ionising radiation, and repealing Directives 89/618/Euratom, 90/641/Euratom, 96/29/Euratom, 97/43/Euratom and 2003/122/Euratom, (1) or, in any event, by failing to notify those provisions to the Commission, the Republic of Latvia has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 106 of that directive;










—


order the Republic of Latvia to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In accordance with Article 106 of Directive 2013/59/Euratom, Member States were required to adopt and publish the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with that directive by 6 February 2018. The Member States were also required to inform the Commission of the text of the provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by that directive.
Since the Republic of Latvia has not adopted or, in any event, has not communicated to the Commission all the transposing measures necessary to comply with the directive, the Commission decided on 29 September to bring an action before the Court in order to obtain a declaration, in accordance with the second paragraph of Article 258 TFEU, that the Republic of Latvia has not fulfilled its obligations under Article 106 of that directive.

            DECISION No 2/2022 OF THE JOINT COMMITTEE ESTABLISHED BY THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA ON THE CARRIAGE OF FREIGHT BY ROAD
         
of 15 December 2022
         
regarding the continuation of the Agreement [2023/604]


THE JOINT COMMITTEE,

Having regard to the Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Moldova on the carriage of freight by road (1), and in particular Article 6 thereto,

Whereas:







(1)


The Joint Committee has adopted its Rules of Procedure by its Decision 1/2022 of 15 December 2022.












(2)


As set out in Article 5(1) of the Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Moldova on the carriage of freight by road (hereafter ‘the Agreement’), the Agreement is to apply until 31 March 2023.












(3)


As set out in Article 6(2) of the Agreement, the Joint Committee is to be convened at the latest three months before the expiry of the Agreement in order to assess and decide on the need for the continuation of the Agreement, including its duration.












(4)


The monitoring of the Agreement has shown that it has provided benefits in terms of trade for both the European Union and the Republic of Moldova, and that the increase of road transport services has also been beneficial to road transport operators of both parties.












(5)


The Agreement has allowed the Republic of Moldova to start redirecting its trade towards the European Union and has therefore contributed to the progressive integration of the Moldovan economy into the western economy. Together with a comparable road transport agreement signed with Ukraine, it has also eased the export of Ukrainian goods, contributing to the Solidarity Lanes.












(6)


The prolongation of the Agreement should be understood as also contributing to the reconstruction of Ukraine beyond Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.












(7)


It is therefore appropriate to prolong the Agreement until 30 June 2024,





HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:



Article 1

Continuation of the Agreement

The Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Moldova on the carriage of freight by road is hereby prolonged until 30 June 2024.


Article 2

Entry into force

This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.
