The opinion of the Advocate General is still under consideration but until the judgment of the European Court of Justice is given, scheduled for 26 April 2005, it would not be appropriate to comment on this matter. If the Court of Justice finds that a member state has failed to fulfil an obligation under the European treaty the state concerned is required to take the necessary measures to comply with the judgment.
