Opinion of the Advocate-General
Mr President, Members of the Court,
3. The failure to fulfil obligations was not contested by the defendant State, which noted in its written observations that the law laying down "provisions for the performance of the obligations arising from Italy' s membership of the European Community (Community law for 1990)" was adopted on 29 December 1990 and published in Ordinary Supplement No 10 of 12 January 1991 to the Gazzetta Ufficiale della Repubblica Italiana. Article 5 of that Law confers on the Government the power to pass decrees containing the provisions needed to transpose the three directives. We learnt at the hearing that the relevant decrees have not yet been adopted and it does not appear that they are to be adopted in the immediate future.
4. In any event, it is not disputed that the Italian Republic has not adopted the measures required by the directives in question, and accordingly, I propose that the Court declare that the Italian Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations(4) and order the defendant State to pay the costs.

(4) - Clearly, the Court does not have to rule on the Commission' s claim in so far as it refers in any event to the failure to communicate measures to the Commission. That is clearly an alternative claim, in case Italy, which had replied neither to the letter of formal notice nor to the reasoned opinion, should nevertheless adopt the measures in question - which is not the case - without informing the Commission of this, as required by Article 31(2) of Directive 85/384.
