In its opinion, the Commission explained that it had mentioned Article 35(7) of the EU Treaty because the Italian court had held in 1998 that the ne bis in idem principle was not applicable in Italy.
Thug an Coimisiún a thuairim agus mhínigh sé gur luaigh sé alt 35(7) de Chonradh an AE toisc go ndúirt cúirt Iodálach 1998 nach raibh feidhm ag an prionsabal ne bis in idem san Iodáil.
