   (Case E-6/06)
   (2007/C 72/24)
   An action against the Principality of Liechtenstein was brought before the EFTA Court on 18 December 2006 by the EFTA Surveillance Authority, represented by Niels Fenger and Lorna Young, acting as Agents of the EFTA Surveillance Authority, 35, Rue Belliard, B-1040 Brussels.
   The applicant claims that the Court should:
   
               1.
            
            
               Declare that by failing to adopt, or to notify the Authority of, the measures necessary to implement the Act referred to at point 32g of Annex XX to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (Directive 2002/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 June 2002 relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise), as adapted to the EEA Agreement by Protocol 1 thereto, within the time limit prescribed, the Principality of Liechtenstein has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 14 of that Act and Article 7 EEA, and
            
         
               2.
            
            
               Order the Principality of Liechtenstein to bear the costs of the proceedings.
            
         Legal and factual background and pleas in law adduced in support:
   
               —
            
            
               The case concerns the non-implementation of the environmental noise directive.
            
         
               —
            
            
               In the pre-litigation phase, Liechtenstein has not disputed that, by the expiry of the time limit, it had not taken the measures necessary to ensure implementation of the directive.
