15According to the Commission, there is no need to rule on the questions or at least some of the questions referred to the Court because they call in question, directly or indirectly, the validity of its decision of 6 May 1993. The owner of a vessel intended to be used on inland waterways whose application for an exemption under Article 8(3)(c) of the Regulation has been rejected by the Commission may no longer call in question the validity of that rejection in an action brought against a national measure implementing that decision once the time-limit prescribed by Article 173 of the EC Treaty for applying for its annulment has expired. The Commission refers, in particular, to the judgment in Case C-188/92 TWD Textilwerke Deggendorf ν Germany [1994] ECR I-833.
