   An action against the Hellenic Republic was brought before the Court of Justice of the European Communities on 2 March 2006 by the Commission of the European Communities, represented by Dominique Maidani and Georgios Zavvos, Legal Advisers in its Legal Service, with an address for service in Luxembourg.

               declare that, by not adopting, and in any event by not notifying to the Commission, the necessary laws, regulations and administrative provisions in order to comply with Directive 2001/24/EC (1) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 April 2001 on the reorganisation and winding up of credit institutions, the Hellenic Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under that directive;
            
         
               —
            
            
               order the Hellenic Republic to pay the costs.
            
         Pleas in law and main arguments
   In the case in point, Article 34 of Directive 2001/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 April 2001 provides that Member States are to bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with the directive by 5 May 2004 at the latest and are immediately to inform the Commission thereof.
