         Action brought on 7 April 2005 by the Commission of the European Communities against the Italian Republic
   (Case C-161/05)
   (2005/C 132/36)
   Language of the case: Italian
   An action against the Italian Republic was brought before the Court of Justice of the European Communities on 7 April 2005 by the Commission of the European Communities, represented by C. Cattabriga, member of the Commission's Legal Service.
   The applicant claims that the Court should:
   
               1.
            
            
               declare that, by failing to notify the data referred to in Articles 15(4) and 18(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 (1) of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy, the Italian Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under those provisions;
            
         
               2.
            
            
               order the Italian Republic to pay the costs.
            
         Pleas in law and main arguments
   Articles 15(4) and 18(1) of Regulation No 2847/93 require the Member States to notify by computer transmission and within a certain period the Commission of certain data. The Italian authorities did not notify within the prescribed periods the data in question for 1999 and 2000. The Italian Republic has therefore infringed its notification obligations under those provisions.
