   (Case C-263/04)
   (2004/C 201/30)
   An action against the French Republic was brought before the Court of Justice of the European Communities on 24 June 2004 by the Commission of the European Communities, represented by E. Gippini Fournier and K. Mojzesowicz, acting as Agents, with an address for service in Luxembourg.
   The applicant claims that the Court should:
   
               1.
            
            
               declare that, by failing to supply the Commission with the information necessary to allow it to confirm that the provisions of Directive 2002/77/EC (1) have been complied with, France has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 9 of that directive;
            
         
               2.
            
            
               order the French Republic to pay the costs.
            
         Pleas in law and main arguments
   Article 9 of Directive 2002/77/EC requires the Member States to supply the Commission, by not later than 24 July 2003, with such information as to allow it to confirm that the provisions of that directive have been complied with.
