I tilfælde af at en medlemsstat overtræder traktaten, tager det således i gennemsnit 18 måneder - dvs. stadig alt for lang tid - for dem at efterkomme EU-Domstolens afgørelse.
Thus, in the event of treaty infringements by Member States, it takes, on average, 18 months - in other words, still far too long - for them to comply with the judgment of the European Court of Justice.
