10 In accordance with Article 145 of the Act concerning the conditions of accession of the Hellenic Republic and the adjustments to the Treaties (OJ 1979 L 291, p. 17, hereinafter the Act of Accession), the Hellenic Republic had until 1 January 1981 to put into effect the measures necessary to comply with Directives 75/442 and 78/319. 
10 U skladu s člankom 145. Akta o uvjetima pristupanja Helenske Republike i prilagodbama ugovora (SL L 291, str. 17., u daljnjem tekstu: Akt o pristupanju) Helenska je Republika trebala do 1. siječnja 1981. provesti mjere potrebne za usklađivanje s odredbama direktiva 75/442 i 78/319.
11 In its judgment in Case C-45/91, the Court held that the Hellenic Republic had failed to fulfil its obligations under Articles 4 and 6 of Directive 75/442 and Articles 5 and 12 of Directive 78/319. 
11 U navedenoj presudi Komisija/Grčka Sud je utvrdio da je Helenska Republika povrijedila svoje obveze na temelju članaka 4. i 6. Direktive 75/442 i članaka 5. i 12. Direktive 78/319.
12 According to that judgment, the Commission, having become aware of problems posed by the disposal of waste in the prefecture of Chania in Crete (Greece), asked the Greek Government to explain the situation. 
12 U skladu s tom presudom Komisija je, nakon što je postala svjesna nekih problema nastalih odlaganjem otpada u prefekturi Chania na Kreti (Grčka), zatražila od grčke vlade da objasni tu situaciju.
In particular, it asked for information regarding the existence of a rubbish tip at the mouth of the river Kouroupitos. 
Zatražila je prije svega da vlada dostavi informacije o postojanju javnog odlagališta otpada na ušću rijeke Kouroupitos.
13 The Greek Government replied that it was going to put an end to the operation of that tip and create new disposal sites. 
13 Grčka je vlada odgovorila da namjerava zatvoriti to odlagalište i otvoriti nove lokacije za zbrinjavanje otpada.
However, it stated that, pending completion of the necessary work on the infrastructure for those new sites, the waste from the prefecture of Chania would continue to be deposited in the Kouroupitos tip until August 1988. 
Međutim, istaknula je da će se do završetka potrebnih radova na infrastrukturi tih novih lokacija otpad iz prefekture Chania i dalje odlagati na odlagalištu Kouroupitos do kolovoza 1988.
14 The Commission considered that reply to be unsatisfactory and sent the Hellenic Republic a letter of formal notice. 
14 Smatrajući da taj odgovor nije odgovarajući, Komisija je Helenskoj Republici poslala pismo opomene.
In that letter it stated that, in its view, the Hellenic Republic, contrary to Article 4 of Directive 75/442 and Article 5 of Directive 78/319, had not taken any measures enabling the waste in question to be disposed of without endangering human health and without harming the environment. 
U toj je opomeni navela kako smatra da protivno članku 4. Direktive 75/442 i članku 5. Direktive 78/319 Helenska Republika nije poduzela nikakve mjere kako bi se predmetni otpad zbrinuo na način koji ne ugrožava zdravlje ljudi i ne šteti okolišu.
It also stated that the Hellenic Republic had still not drawn up either the waste disposal plan prescribed by Article 6 of Directive 75/442 or the plan for the disposal of toxic and dangerous waste required by Article 12 of Directive 78/319. 
Navela je i da ta država članica još uvijek nije izradila plan zbrinjavanja otpada propisan člankom 6. Direktive 75/442 ni plan zbrinjavanja toksičnog i opasnog otpada predviđen člankom 12. Direktive 78/319.
Nor had it taken any measure regarding the disposal of waste as required by Article 7 of Directive 75/442. 
Ona također nije poduzela nikakve mjere za zbrinjavanje otpada određene člankom 7. Direktive 75/442.
The Commission concluded that the Hellenic Republic had failed to fulfil its obligations under Articles 4, 5, 6, 7 and 13 of Directive 75/442 and Articles 5, 6, 12 and 21 of Directive 78/319. 
Komisija je zaključila da je Helenska Republika povrijedila obveze na temelju članaka 4., 5., 6., 7. i 13. Direktive 75/442 i članaka 5., 6., 12. i 21. Direktive 78/319.
15 In their reply to that letter, the Greek authorities referred to the opposition of the population of Chania to the plan to create new landfill sites and stated that the authorities in Chania therefore envisaged, in the medium term, the creation of landfill sites in smaller towns and, in the long term, the incineration and recycling of refuse. 
15 U svojem odgovoru na tu opomenu grčke su vlasti ukazale na činjenicu da se stanovništvo Chanie usprotivilo planu otvaranja novih lokacija za odlaganje otpada te navele da su zbog toga vlasti Chanie srednjoročno predvidjele otvaranje lokacija za odlaganje otpada u manjim gradovima i, dugoročno, spaljivanje i recikliranje otpada.
16 On 5 March 1990 the Commission issued a reasoned opinion which it sent to the Hellenic Republic. 
16 Komisija je 5. ožujka 1990. sastavila obrazloženo mišljenje koje je poslala Helenskoj Republici.
In the reasoned opinion, the Commission expressed the view that the Greek authorities had failed to fulfil their obligations arising from the Treaty since they were still at the stage of preparing the necessary measures to comply with Directives 75/442 and 78/319 in the area of Chania. 
U obrazloženom mišljenju iznijela je stav prema kojem su grčke vlasti povrijedile svoje obveze koje proizlaze iz Ugovora budući da su još uvijek u fazi pripreme mjera potrebnih za usklađivanje s direktivama 75/442 i 78/319 u prefekturi Chania.
17 In the Treaty infringement proceedings which it brought against the Hellenic Republic, the Commission submitted that the Greek authorities had taken no measure enabling waste from the Chania area to be disposed of without endangering human health and without harming the environment. 
17 U postupku zbog povrede obveze koji je pokrenula protiv Helenske Republike Komisija je istaknula da grčka tijela nisu poduzela nikakve mjere kako bi se otpad iz Chanije zbrinuo na način koji ne ugrožava zdravlje ljudi i ne šteti okolišu.
It added that the competent authorities had not taken any steps to implement a proper plan which would lead to the correct management of waste in that area in accordance with a timetable. 
Ona dodaje da nadležne vlasti nisu donijele nikakve odredbe za provedbu odgovarajućeg plana koji bi doprinio pravilnom gospodarenju otpadom u tom području u skladu s vremenskim rasporedom.
It made the same criticisms with regard to the toxic and dangerous waste from the area, in respect of which the Greek authorities had similarly not taken any appropriate measures or laid down a disposal plan. 
Komisija je iste kritike iznijela i u vezi s toksičnim i opasnim otpadom iz tog područja, u pogledu kojeg grčka tijela nisu poduzela odgovarajuće mjere niti izradile plan njegovog zbrinjavanja.
18 In reply, the Hellenic Republic stated that several studies had been undertaken between 1989 and 1991 regarding the management and recycling of waste from the Chania area. 
18 U svom je odgovoru Helenska Republika navela da je između 1989. i 1991. provedeno više studija o gospodarenju i recikliranju otpada iz prefekture Chania.
However, implementation of the planned programme had been suspended because of the opposition of the local population. 
Međutim, provedba planiranog programa obustavljena je zbog protivljenja lokalnog stanovništva.
19 In paragraph 21 of its judgment in Case C-45/91, the Court stated that, pursuant to Article 145 of the Act of Accession, Directives 75/442 and 78/319 should have been implemented in Greece by 1 January 1981 at the latest. 
19 U točki 21. navedene presude Komisija/Grčka Sud je utvrdio da su u skladu s člankom 145. Akta o pristupanju direktive 75/442 i 78/319 u Grčkoj trebale biti provedene najkasnije do 1. siječnja 1981.
It also pointed out that, in accordance with settled case-law, a Member State may not plead internal circumstances, such as difficulties of implementation which emerge at the stage when a Community measure is put into effect, to justify a failure to comply with obligations and time-limits laid down by Community law. 
Također je istaknuo da se u skladu s ustaljenom sudskom praksom država članica ne može pozvati na unutarnje okolnosti poput poteškoća u provođenju akta Zajednice, kako bi opravdala povredu obveza i vremenskih rokova koji proizlaze iz prava Zajednice.
20 The Court accordingly held: 
20 Slijedom toga Sud je presudio:
By failing to take the measures necessary to ensure that in the area of Chania waste and toxic and dangerous waste are disposed of without endangering human health and without harming the environment, and by failing to draw up for that area plans for the disposal of waste and of toxic and dangerous waste, the Hellenic Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under Articles 4 and 6 of Council Directive 75/442/EEC of 15 July 1975 on waste, and Articles 5 and 12 of Council Directive 78/319/EEC of 20 March 1978 on toxic and dangerous waste. 
„Helenska Republika povrijedila je obveze na temelju članaka 4. i 6. Direktive Vijeća 75/442/EEZ od 15. srpnja 1975. o otpadu i članaka 5. i 12. Direktive Vijeća 78/319/EEZ od 20. ožujka 1978. o toksičnom i opasnom otpadu jer nije poduzela potrebne mjere kojima bi u prefekturi Chania osigurala zbrinjavanje otpada te toksičnog i opasnog otpada na način koji ne ugrožava zdravlje ljudi i ne šteti okolišu te izradu planova ili programa za njegovo zbrinjavanje."
21 The Commission was not notified of any measures to comply with the judgment in Case C-45/91, and so it reiterated in a letter of 11 October 1993 to the Greek authorities that the Court had found against the Hellenic Republic in that judgment and pointed out that no measure to comply with the judgment had been communicated to it. 
21 Komisiji nije poslana obavijest o mjerama za postupanje u skladu s navedenom presudom Komisija/Grčka pa je ona dopisom od 11. listopada 1993. upućenim grčkim tijelima podsjetila da je tom presudom Sud osudio Helensku Republiku te naglasila da joj nije poslana nikakva obavijest o mjerama za postupanje u skladu s tom presudom.
22 By letter of 24 August 1994 the Greek Government informed the Commission that the competent body for waste management at local level had obtained preliminary approval for two landfill sites at Kopinadi and Vardia. 
22 Pismom od 24. kolovoza 1994. grčka je vlada obavijestila Komisiju da je tijelo nadležno za gospodarenje otpadom na lokalnoj razini dobilo „preliminarno odobrenje" za dvije lokacije za odlaganje otpada u mjestima Kopinadi i Vardia.
Studies to assess the impact of those sites on the environment were in the process of being prepared, in accordance with the national legislation transposing Council Directive 85/337/EEC of 27 June 1985 on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (OJ 1985 L 175, p. 40), and were to be completed before the end of 1994. 
Studije procjene utjecaja na okoliš navedenih lokacija bile su u procesu pripreme u skladu s nacionalnim zakonodavstvom za prijenos Direktive Vijeća 85/337/EEZ od 27. lipnja 1985. o procjeni učinaka određenih javnih i privatnih projekata na okoliš (SL L 175, str. 40.) te su trebale biti dovršene do kraja 1994.
Following that procedure, the competent body could draw up the final study regarding the construction, operation, supervision and restoration of whichever of the two sites appeared the more suitable. 
U skladu s tim postupkom nadležno tijelo moglo bi izraditi konačnu studiju o gradnji, stavljanju u funkciju, nadzoru i sanaciji jedne od lokacija za koju se pokaže da je prikladnija.
23 Having received no further information from the Greek Government, the Commission decided to initiate the procedure under Article 171(2) of the Treaty. 
23 Budući da Komisija nije zaprimila nikakve nove informacije od grčke vlade, pokrenula je postupak na temelju članka 171. stavka 2. Ugovora.
On 21 September 1995 it called on the Greek Government to submit within two months its observations concerning its failure to comply with the judgment in Case C-45/91. 
Ona je 21. rujna 1995. zatražila da joj grčka vlada u roku od dva mjeseca dostavi svoja očitovanja o neizvršenju navedene presude Komisija/Grčka.
24 By letter of 14 December 1995 the Greek Government informed the Commission that the prefectorial council for Chania had selected a waste disposal site and that the waste disposal programme would therefore be implemented. 
24 Dopisom od 14. prosinca 1995. grčka je vlada obavijestila Komisiju da je vijeće prefekture Chania odabralo lokaciju za zbrinjavanje otpada te da će se stoga provesti program zbrinjavanja otpada.
25 The Commission considered that that reply clearly showed that, four years after the judgment in Case C-45/91, the Greek authorities still had not taken the necessary measures to comply with the judgment, that adoption of those measures was still only at a preliminary stage and that the waste disposal plans still could not be implemented. 
25 Komisija je smatrala da iz tog odgovora jasno proizlazi da četiri godine nakon navedene presude Komisija/Grčka grčke vlasti još uvijek nisu bile poduzele mjere potrebne za njezino izvršenje, da je donošenje mjera za njezino izvršenje još uvijek bilo u preliminarnoj fazi te da se planovi ili programi zbrinjavanja otpada i dalje nisu mogli provesti.
Thus, according to the Commission, waste continued to be deposited in the Kouroupitos tip, endangering public health and harming the environment. 
Zbog toga se, prema mišljenju Komisije, otpad i dalje odlagao na odlagalište Kouroupitos čime se ugrožavalo zdravlje ljudi i štetilo okolišu.
26 By reasoned opinion of 6 August 1996, the Commission found that, by failing to take the necessary measures to comply with the judgment in Case C-45/91 and, in particular, by still not having drawn up or implemented the plans necessary for the disposal of waste and toxic and dangerous waste from the area concerned without endangering human health and without harming the environment, the Hellenic Republic had failed to fulfil its obligations under the Treaty. 
26 U obrazloženom mišljenju od 6. kolovoza 1996. Komisija tvrdi da je Helenska Republika povrijedila obveze iz Ugovora jer nije poduzela potrebne mjere za izvršenje navedene presude Komisija/Grčka i, posebno, jer još nije izradila niti provela planove ili programe koji su potrebni za zbrinjavanje otpada te toksičnog i opasnog otpada iz predmetnog područja i to na način koji ne ugrožava zdravlje ljudi i ne šteti okolišu.
27 The Commission called on the Hellenic Republic, in accordance with Article 171(2) of the Treaty, to take the necessary measures to comply with the reasoned opinion within two months of its notification. 
27 Komisija je pozvala Helensku Republiku da u skladu s člankom 171. stavkom 2.
In addition, the Commission drew the attention of the Greek authorities to the fact that a periodic penalty payment could be imposed for failure by the Hellenic Republic to comply with the judgment in Case C-45/91, stating that it would determine the amount of the penalty payment to be claimed in the Court proceedings pursuant to Article 171(2) of the Treaty in the light of the circumstances obtaining when it brought its action. 
Ugovora poduzme potrebne mjere kako bi postupila u skladu s obrazloženim mišljenjem u roku od dva mjeseca od primitka obavijesti. Nadalje, s obzirom da Helenska Republika nije postupila u skladu s navedenom presudom Komisija/Grčka, Komisija je grčkim tijelima skrenula pozornost na mogućnost nalaganja novčane kazne čiji će iznos zatražen u sudskom postupku na temelju članka 171. stavka 2. Ugovora odrediti Komisija s obzirom na okolnosti u trenutku podnošenja njezine tužbe.
28 In their reply of 11 November 1996, the Greek authorities referred to a national waste management plan, guaranteed and implemented at prefectorial and regional level, for which the necessary funds were available and committed. 
28 Grčka tijela su se u svom odgovoru od 11. studenoga 1996. pozvala na nacionalni plan gospodarenja otpadom, zajamčen i proveden na lokalnoj i regionalnoj razini, za koji su potrebna sredstva raspoloživa i izdvojena.
As regards the regional waste management plan in the prefecture of Chania, the Greek authorities stated that it consisted in the implementation of an integrated management programme including: 
U pogledu regionalnog plana gospodarenja otpadom u prefekturi Chania, grčke su vlasti izjavile da se on sastoji od provedbe globalnog programa gospodarenja koji uključuje:
the sorting of waste at source; 
razvrstavanje otpada na izvoru;
the construction and operation of a mechanical recycling plant; 
izgradnju i stavljanje u funkciju postrojenja za mehaničko recikliranje;
the provision and operation of a landfill site; and 
organizaciju i stavljanje u funkciju lokacije za odlaganje otpada; i
a programme for the reinstatement and restoration of the area on account of the uncontrolled disposal of waste in the Kouroupitos tip. 
program reorganizacije i sanacije predmetnog područja zbog nekontroliranog odlaganja otpada na odlagalište u Kouroupitosu.
29 With regard to the waste deposited in the Kouroupitos tip, the Greek authorities indicated that they had taken specific actions and measures of intervention dealing with the local problems in order to resolve definitively the question of that site, for which they were drawing up separate management programmes. 
29 Što se tiče otpada odloženog na odlagalištu u Kouroupitosu, grčka su tijela naznačila da su poduzela konkretne radnje i interventne mjere za rješavanje lokalnih problema kako bi konačno riješile pitanje tog odlagališta za koje su izrađivala posebne programe gospodarenja.
30 As for the management of toxic and dangerous waste, especially hospital waste, the Greek authorities stated that they were implementing a series of actions and measures of intervention relating to the financing of waste management studies and works and, in particular, that the Chania prefectorial authorities had taken the steps necessary to set up a mechanical recycling plant and a landfill site. 
30 Što se tiče upravljanja toksičnim i opasnim otpadom te posebno bolničkim otpadom, grčka tijela tvrde da su provodila brojne radnje i interventne mjere u pogledu financiranja studija i realizacije radova gospodarenja otpadom te posebno da su vlasti prefekture Chania poduzele potrebne korake kako bi uspostavile postrojenje za mehaničko recikliranje i lokaciju za odlaganje otpada.
According to the competent authorities, completion of that programme would settle the problem of the river Kouroupitos and resolve the problem of waste management in the Chania area. 
Prema mišljenju nadležnih tijela, dovršetak tog programa riješio bi probleme Kouroupitosa te regulirao problem gospodarenja otpadom u prefekturi Chania.
31 By letter of 28 August 1997 the Greek authorities provided supplementary information concerning progress with the procedure for waste management in the prefecture of Chania. 
31 Dopisom od 28. kolovoza 1997. grčka su tijela dostavila dodatne informacije o napretku postupka gospodarenja otpadom u prefekturi Chania.
They indicated in particular that preliminary approval had been granted for the location chosen for the landfill site and that the study relating to the environmental impact of the waste recycling and composting plant had been completed, as had the first stage of an international restricted tendering procedure. 
Posebno su istaknula da je izdano preliminarno odobrenje za lokaciju koja je odabrana za odlaganje otpada te da je dovršena studija učinka na okoliš postrojenja za recikliranje i kompostiranje otpada, kao i prva faza međunarodnog ograničenog postupka javne nabave.
32 The Commission considered that those replies were unsatisfactory and that the measures to comply with the judgment in Case C-45/91 had still not been implemented and consequently decided to bring the present action. 
32 Komisija smatra da su ti odgovori nezadovoljavajući i da mjere za izvršavanje navedene presude Komisija/Grčka još uvijek nisu provedene te je stoga odlučila podnijeti ovu tužbu.
Forms of order sought 
Tužbeni zahtjevi stranaka
33 The Commission claims that the Court should declare that the Hellenic Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 171 of the Treaty, impose on it a penalty payment of EUR 24 600 for each day of delay in implementing the measures necessary to comply with the judgment in Case C-45/91 and order it to pay the costs. 
33 Komisija od Suda zahtijeva da utvrdi da je Helenska Republika povrijedila obveze koje ima na temelju članka 171. Ugovora, da joj naloži plaćanje novčane kazne u iznosu od 24 600 eura po danu zakašnjenja u provedbi potrebnih mjera za usklađivanje s navedenom presudom Komisija/Grčka te joj naloži plaćanje troškova.
34 By order of the President of the Court of 29 September 1998, the United Kingdom was granted leave to intervene in support of the form of order sought by the Commission. 
34 Rješenjem predsjednika Suda od 29. rujna 1998. Ujedinjenoj Kraljevini odobrena je intervencija u prilog tužbenom zahtjevu Komisije.
However, it has not filed pleadings. 
Međutim, ona nije podnijela tužbeni zahtjev.
35 The Greek Government claims that the Court should declare the action inadmissible or dismiss it as unfounded and order the Commission to pay the costs. 
35 Grčka vlada zahtijeva da Sud prvenstveno tužbu proglasi nedopuštenom ili je odbije kao neosnovanu i da Komisiji naloži snošenje troškova.
In the alternative, it contends that the Court should set the penalty payment on the basis of coefficients of seriousness and duration which are more favourable to the Hellenic Republic than those applied by the Commission, taking account of the high degree of compliance with the judgment in Case C-45/91 achieved by the Hellenic Republic. 
Podredno, ona zahtijeva od Suda da odredi novčanu kaznu na temelju koeficijenata težine i trajanja povrede koji su za Helensku Republiku povoljniji od onih koje je zatražila Komisija i uzimajući u obzir visoki stupanj usklađenosti s gore navedenom presudom Komisija/Grčka koji je Helenska Republika ostvarila.
36 Relying on the judgments in Case 14/81 Alpha Steel v Commission [1982] ECR 749, at paragraph 28, and in Case C-331/88 Fedesa and Others [1990] ECR I-4023, at paragraph 42, the Opinion of Advocate General Fennelly in Case C-334/94 Commission v France [1996] ECR I-1307 and some of the legal literature, the Greek Government maintains that the action is inadmissible on the ground that Article 171(2) of the Treaty, which results from the Treaty on European Union, entered into force on 1 November 1993, after the initiation of the infringement procedure based on Article 171 of the Treaty for failure to comply with the judgment in Case C-45/91. 
36 Oslanjajući se na presudu od 3. ožujka 1982., Alpha Steel/Komisija, 14/81, Zb., str. 749., točku 28. i presudu od 13. studenoga 1990., Fedesa i dr., C-331/88, Zb., str. I-4023., točku 42., na mišljenje nezavisnog odvjetnika Fennellya u presudi Komisija/Francuska (presuda od 7. ožujka 1996., C-334/94, Zb., str. I-1307.) i pravnu teoriju, grčka vlada smatra da je tužba nedopuštena na temelju članka 171. stavka 2. Ugovora koji proizlazi iz Ugovora o Europskoj uniji, koji je stupio na snagu 1. studenoga 1993. nakon što je pokrenut postupak zbog povrede obveze na temelju članka 171. Ugovora zbog neizvršenja presude Komisija/Grčka.
37 In its submission, Article 171(2) of the Treaty provides for the imposition of very severe penalties on the Member States and is therefore a stricter and more onerous rule which in principle cannot be applied retroactively. 
37 Članak 171. stavak 2. Ugovora predviđa nalaganje vrlo strogih kazni državama članicama te stoga predstavlja strože i restriktivnije pravilo koje se u načelu ne može retroaktivno primjenjivati.
