36For the purpose of determining the scope of this action for failure to fulfil obligations, it should be noted that the question whether a Member State has failed to fulfil obligations must be determined by reference to the situation prevailing in the Member State at the end of the period laid down in the reasoned opinion and the Court cannot take account of any subsequent changes (see, to that effect, judgment of 27 April 2017, Commission v Greece, C‑202/16, not published, EU:C:2017:318, paragraph 37 and the case-law cited).
