      Pleas in law and main arguments
   
   The time-limit for transposition of Directive 2000/53/EC expired on 21 April 2002. However, at the date on which the present action was brought, the defendant had not yet adopted the measures necessary to transpose the directive or, at least, had not informed the Commission of them.
