Abstract
On 7 May 2009 France has been condemned by the ECJ for the failure to implement Directive 1999/13/EC on the limitation of emissions of volatile organic compounds due to the use of organic solvents in certain activities and installations. The Court found that France did not properly transpose into national law the definitions of ‘small installation and ‘substantial charge pursuant to Article 2 paras. 3 and 4 respectively (currently available only in French).
