Judgment_paragraph 15 · Commission of the European Communities v Federal Republic of Germany (C-503/04)

15In proceedings for failure to fulfil obligations under Article 226 EC, the Court is required to find only that a provision of Community law has been infringed. Pursuant to Article 228(1) EC, the Member State concerned is required to take the measures necessary to comply with the judgment of the Court (see, to that effect, Case C-126/03 Commission v Germany [2004] ECR I-11197, paragraph 26). Since a question concerning the measures required for the implementation of a judgment establishing a failure to fulfil obligations under Article 226 EC does not form part of the subject-matter of such a judgment, such a question cannot form the subject-matter of an application for interpretation of a judgment (see also, to that effect, order in Joined Cases 146/85 INT and 431/85 INT Maindiaux and Others v ESC and Others [1988] ECR 2003, paragraph 6).
