Operative part of the judgment

The Court:

—the appropriate monitoring of discharges from urban waste water treatment plants,

the Republic of Slovenia has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 4(1) and (3) of Council Directive 91/271/EEC of 21 May 1991 concerning urban waste water treatment, as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1137/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2008, read in conjunction with section B of Annex I to that directive, as amended, and the first indent of Article 15(1) of that directive, as amended, read in conjunction with section D of Annex I thereto, respectively;

2.Dismisses the action as to the remainder;

3.Orders the European Commission and the Republic of Slovenia to bear their own costs.
