Yiannis Kourtis, associate, authored an article on e-Politeia circulated by the Centre for European Constitutional Law – Themistokles and Dimitris Tsatsos Foundation.

In this judgment, there is a consolidation of the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) on the applicability of Article 260 (3) TFEU which was introduced into the Lisbon Treaty with the aim of compelling the Member States to implement EU Directives in time. The Commission can apply before CJEU for imposing financial sanctions on the Member State concerned in addition to producing a declaration of failure to fulfil the obligations stemming from EU law under the framework of Article 258 TFEU.
