Pleas in law and main arguments
In the judgment of the Court of 4 February 2010 (Case C-185/09 Commission v Kingdom of Sweden), the Court held:
‘By failing, within the period prescribed, to adopt the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with Directive 2006/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006 on the retention of data generated or processed in connection with the provision of publicly available electronic communications services or of public communications networks and amending Directive 2002/58/EC, the Kingdom of Sweden has failed to fulfil its obligations under that directive.’
The Kingdom of Sweden has still not adopted any measures to comply with the judgment of the Court in Case C-185/09. The Commission has therefore brought proceedings in accordance with Article 260(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and claims that the Kingdom of Sweden should pay financial penalties.
