         Action brought on 1 March 2004 by the Commission of the European Communities against the Kingdom of Belgium
   (Case C-106/04)
   (2004/C 94/69)
   An action against the Kingdom of Belgium was brought before the Court of Justice of the European Communities on 1 March 2004 by the Commission of the European Communities, represented by G. Valero Jordana and B. Stromsky, acting as Agents, with an address for service in Luxembourg.
   The Commission of the European Communities claims that the Court should:
   
               1.
            
            
               declare that by failing to adopt the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with Directive 2001/80/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2001 on the limitation of emissions of certain pollutants into the air from large combustion plants (1) or, in any event, by failing to communicate them to the Commission, the Kingdom of Belgium, as far the Flemish Region is concerned, has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 18 of that directive.
            
         
               2.
            
            
               order the Kingdom of Belgium to pay the costs.
            
         Pleas in law and main arguments
   The period prescribed for the transposition of that directive expired on 27 November 2002.
