Opinion of the Advocate-General
Facts
- to declare that, by not adopting the necessary laws, regulations and administrative measures to comply with Directive 97/36/EC amending Directive 89/552/EEC,
- or, in any event, by not informing the Commission of them,
the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has failed to fulfil its obligations under that directive.
4. On the basis of that information the Commission brought this case before the Court on 27 March 2000. In its defence, received at the Court on 6 June 2000, the Luxembourg Government does not contest the justification of the action so far as the lateness of the implementation of Directive 97/36 is concerned. However, it again relies on the abovementioned national draft law. It states that the delay in adopting the law is connected to its complex technical character and the necessary consultations. It expects that the law will now be adopted within a few months and that the proceedings before the Court for failure to fulfil its obligations will thus be deprived of purpose.

- by not adopting the necessary laws, regulations and administrative measures to comply with Directive 97/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 June 1997 amending Directive 89/552/EEC of the Council on the coordination of certain provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in Member States concerning the pursuit of television broadcasting activities,
- or, in any event, by not informing the Commission of them,
the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has failed to fulfil its obligations under that directive;
(b) order the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to pay the costs, in accordance with Article 69(2) of the Rules of Procedure.
