14Since the Court can examine of its own motion whether the conditions laid down in Article 258 TFEU for bringing an action for failure to fulfil obligations are satisfied (judgment of 14 January 2010, Commission v Czech Republic, C‑343/08, EU:C:2010:14, paragraph 25 and the case-law cited) and the action is directed not against a national law or regulation but against a practice of the Czech assay office, it should be recalled, as a preliminary point, that an administrative practice of a Member State can be made the object of an action for failure to fulfil obligations when it is, to some degree, of a consistent and general nature (judgments of 29 April 2004, Commission v Germany, C‑387/99, EU:C:2004:235, paragraph 42 and the case-law cited, and of 5 March 2009, Commission v Spain, C‑88/07, EU:C:2009:123, paragraph 54).
