      Operative part of the judgment
   
   
            1)
         
         
            By failing to adopt all the measures necessary to ensure compliance with the judgment of 19 July 2012, Commission v Italy (C-565/10, not published, EU:C:2012:476), the Italian Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 260(1) TFEU.
         
      
            2)
         
         
            If the failure to fulfil obligations established in point 1 has continued until the day of delivery of the present judgment, the Italian Republic is ordered to pay to the European Commission a fine of EUR 30112500 for every six months of delay in implementing the measures necessary to comply with the judgment of 19 July 2012, Commission v Italy (C-565/10, not published, EU:C:2012:476), from the date of delivery of the present judgment until the full compliance with the judgment of 19 July 2012, Commission v Italy (C-565/10, not published, EU:C:2012:476), the actual amount of which must be calculated at the end of each six-month period by reducing the total amount relating to each of those periods by a percentage corresponding to the proportion of population equivalents of the agglomerations whose urban waste water collection and treatment systems have been rendered compliant with the judgment of 19 July 2012, Commission v Italy (C-565/10, not published, EU:C:2012:476), at the end of the period in question, compared with the number of population equivalents of the agglomerations not having such systems on the day of delivery of the present judgment.

            The Italian Republic is ordered to pay the costs.
