54According to the Commission, the interpretation of Article 307 EC given by the Court in Case C-84/98 Commission ν Portugal [2000] ECR I-5215, paragraphs 51 and 53, can be transposed direct to the present case. Article 7 of Convention No 45 of the I.L.O. contains a denunciation clause. It is unarguable that the Republic of Austria could have denounced that convention with effect from 30 May 1997, that is to say, a date after that on which the directive became binding on it by reason of the ratification of the Agreement on the European Economic Area of 2 May 1992 (OJ 1994 L 1, p. 3). The Republic of Austria was, in the Commission's view, required to denounce the convention pursuant to Article 3(2) of Directive 76/207.
