Opinion of the Advocate-General

Mr President,

Members of the Court,

1 . As nothing new was revealed at the hearing and the facts are not in dispute I can deliver my Opinion forthwith and it will be very brief .

2 . Article 8 of Council Directive 82/470/EEC of 29 June 1982 on measures to facilitate the effective exercise of freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services in respect of activities of self-employed persons in certain services incidental to transport and travel agencies ( ISIC Group 718 ) and in storage and warehousing ( ISIC Group 720 ) ( 1 )provides that Member States are to adopt the measures necessary to comply with the directive within 18 months of its notification and are to inform the Commission thereof forthwith . The 18 month period expired on 2 January 1984 .

3 . The Italian Government acknowledges that it has not fulfilled its obligations but points out that a draft law to implement the directive is being prepared .

4 . That circumstance does not excuse the fault which is complained of . As the Court has consistently held, a Member State may not plead provisions, practices or circumstances existing in its own legal system in order to justify a failure to comply with obligations and time-limits laid down by directives.(2 )

5 . Consequently, I suggest that the Court declare that by failing to adopt within the prescribed period the provisions necessary to comply with Council Directive 82/470 of 29 June 1982 the Italian Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under the EEC Treaty, and order it to pay the costs pursuant to Article 69 ( 2 ) of the Rules of Procedure .
