The Commission has called on Italy to take measures to stop continued illegal use of drift-nets, which is in violation of a ruling from October 2009 by the Court of Justice on Italy's failure to adequately control and enforce the EU ban on the use of drift-nets. If no satisfactory actions are taken by Italy within two months of the Commission's letter, the Commission may refer this case to the Court of Justice again, this time asking the Court to impose significant financial penalties on Italy.
