Hello Would anyone help to point me out in a right direction? I am looking for explanation what the "Classement : 12/10/2006 - PV(2006)1761" is. Please see the background below. The case relates to the dispute between Italy and the Commission about the "golden shares" in the energy companies. The 24th ANNUAL REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION ON MONITORING THE APPLICATION OF COMMUNITY LAW (2006) ( http://ec.europa.eu/community_law/eulaw/pdf/XXIV_rapport_annuel/sec_2007_0976_1_en.pdf p.100) gives the history of the communication between the Commission and the Member State (see below). It is apparent from the report that the case was finalised on 12 October 2006 and classified as PV(2006)1761. Does anyone know what this mean? Most grateful for help.

The Court found that the automatic suspension of voting rights for shareholdings in excess of 2% in Italian electricity and gas companies, where such holdings are acquired by public companies not quoted on the stock exchange and holding a dominant position in their own domestic markets, breaches the EC Treaty rules on the free movement of capital (Article 56). The Commission's request is in the form of a "reasoned opinion", the second stage of the infringement procedure laid down in Article 228 of the EC Treaty related to compliance with Court of Justice rulings. In the absence of a satisfactory reply from Italy within two months of receiving the reasoned opinion, the Commission may decide to refer the matter to the European Court of Justice. http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/06/439 <http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/06/439&format=HTML&aged=0&language=EN&guiLanguage=en> &format=HTML&aged=0&language=EN&guiLanguage=en This message and any attachment are confidential and may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.
