         Action brought on 1 February 2007 — Commission of the European Communities v Italian Republic

   Language of the case: Italian
   Parties
   
      Applicant: Commission of the European Communities (represented by: L. Pignataro-Nolin and M. van Beek, acting as Agents)
   
      Defendant: Italian Republic
   Form of order sought
   The applicant claims that the Court should:
   
               —
            
            
               declare that, by maintaining in force a provision by which public employees are entitled to receive the old-age pension at different ages depending on whether they are male or female, the Italian Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 141 EC;
            
         
               —
            
            
               order the Italian Republic to pay the costs.
            
         Pleas in law and main arguments
   The Commission claims that the pension scheme managed by INPDAP (National Provident Institution for the Employees of Public Authorities) is a discriminatory occupational scheme contrary to Article 141 EC, since it provides that the general pensionable age for men is 65 and for women 60.
