If it is not able to show that they are inaccurate, the Commission’s findings can give rise to serious doubts as to the existence of an adequate and effective series of supervisory measures and inspection procedures (judgments in Italy v Commission, C‑253/97, EU:C:1999:527, paragraph 7, and Greece v Commission, EU:C:2005:103, paragraph 35).
