Order of the Court (Fifth Chamber) of 16 May 2008 – Raulin v France

(Case C‑49/08)

Action brought by a natural person against a Member State and seeking the annulment of a decision given by a national court and a declaration that the Member State concerned has infringed Community law – Clear lack of jurisdiction of the Court

1. Actions for annulment – Measures adopted by the national authorities – Lack of jurisdiction of the Court (Art. 230 EC) (see paras 7-8)

2. Actions for failure to fulfil obligations – Right of action reserved to the Commission and the Member States – Action brought by a natural or legal person – Inadmissible (Arts 226 EC and 227 EC) (see paras 9-10)

Re:

Operative part

1.The Court of Justice of the European Communities manifestly has no jurisdiction to adjudicate in the present case.

2.Ms Raulin is ordered to bear her own costs.
