(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, DECEMBER 11 - The European Court of Justice
ruled it is not competent to intervene in the dispute between
Slovenia and Croatia on the border between the two countries:
that is what the Advocate General of the same Court said, given
the forthcoming sentence on the appeal presented by Ljubljana
against Zagreb.
In his conclusions, Advocate General Priit Pikamäe suggests that
the Court of Justice declares itself 'not competent' to examine
the appeal filed by Slovenia, underlining inter alia that
international conventions that do not fall under certain cases -
and this case seems to be ruled out - do not constitute Union
acts and, therefore, do not bind the EU.
Based on the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice, the Advocate
General thinks that the delimitation of the national territory
does not fall within the competence of the Union and, therefore,
of the Court of Justice itself. (ANSA).
