Parties to the main proceedings


Appellant on a point of law: United Media Services SRL

Respondent: Consiliul Concurenţei

Operative part of the order

Article 4(3) TEU, read in the light of the principles of equivalence, effectiveness and legal certainty, must be interpreted as not precluding national legislation under which an action for revision of a final judicial decision for infringement of EU law must be brought within a month from notification of that decision, although an action for revision alleging that the final judicial decision at issue was adopted on the basis of a national provision which was subsequently declared unconstitutional by a decision of the Constitutional Court of the Member State concerned may be brought within three months from publication of that decision in the Official Journal of that Member State, provided that the practical consequences of that finding of unconstitutionality flow directly from that decision of the Constitutional Court.
