Brussels, 11/04/2002 (Agence Europe) - On Thursday the European Commission decided to launch and pursue various infringement proceedings for failure to apply Community law in several areas, sending for example:
- Italy a Reasoned Opinion calling on it to change its legislation on work on aircraft to meet Community freedom to supply services in the internal market measures;
- Taking Greece to the Court of Justice for failure to authorise architects qualifying in other Member States to work in Greece;
- A Reasoned Opinion to France for failings in recognising medical qualifications obtained outside the EU but already recognised by other Member States;
- Sent a warning to Ireland to comply with a 2001 Court of Justice ruling on the animal feed directive;
- Sent Luxembourg, Belgium, Italy, the UK, Greece, Portugal and Finland Reasoned Opinions for failing to supply information about measures to transpose the directive on waste dumps;
- Sent Reasoned Opinions to Sweden and Denmark because their legislation on waste oil doesn't encourage re-refining.
