Abstract

Finland failed to apply in full the EU ETS to the province of Aland. The Commission brought this action under the Article 226 EC procedure, contending that Finland had failed to properly implement the Directive. The Court agreed with the Commission, holding that Finland, by not implementing Directive 2003/87/EC in due time, failed to fulfill its obligations.
