Judgment_paragraph 91 · European Commission v Ireland (C-261/18)

91As regards, next, the wind farm operator’s inaction, or even its refusal to initiate the regularisation procedure pursuant to Section 177 C of Part XA of the PDAA, it suffices to refer, mutatis mutandis, to the considerations set out in paragraph 89 above, since that operator is controlled by Ireland. Consequently, the operator must be considered an emanation of that Member State on which, as the Commission rightly argued, the obligations arising from EU directives are binding (judgment of 14 June 2007, Medipac — Kazantzidis, C‑6/05, EU:C:2007:337, paragraph 43 and the case-law cited).
