Dear Mr Finnerty,
Thank you for your email. I can also confirm that your letter
was received.
Unfortunately the Court of Justice is only competent to take
cases directly from private individuals in clearly defined
situations as outlined in Art.230 EC Treaty. This means an
individual may only bring an action before the Court when they
are seeking the annulment of a Decision of the Community which
directly and individually (i.e. only that person and no other)
concerns them.
However, if you feel that the actions of a Member State, or any
law or regulation infringes Community law you could write to the
Commission who may then take up your case.
The Commission has a standard form for such complaints. This and
further information can be found at:
http://europa.eu.int/comm/secretariat_general/sgb/lexcomm/index_en.htm
You can also write directly to the Commission at:
European Commission, 200 rue de la Loi, B-1040 Brussels, Belgium
Telno: 0032 2 299 1111
Or contact the Commission Representation in Ireland:
European House,
Dawson Street,
Dublin 2,
Tel: 353 (01) 662 5113
Fax: 353 (01) 662 5118

If you believe that your rights under European Community law may
have been infringed, you could, after taking appropriate
professional legal advice in the State concerned, commence
proceedings before the appropriate court in that State. That
court, if it considers that a decision on a question of
interpretation of the treaties or on the interpretation or
validity of other Community legislation is necessary in order to
enable it to give a decision, may refer the matter to this Court
for a preliminary ruling.
If you believe that you have suffered from maladministration on
the part of the European Institutions you can complain to the
European Ombudsman. The Ombudsman has a standard form for
complaints. This and further information can be found at:
http://www.euro-ombudsman.eu.int/home/en/default.htm, or by
contacting the Ombudsman:
The European Ombudsman
1 avenue du Président Robert Schuman
B.P. 403
F-67001 Strasbourg Cedex
Tel: +33 3 88 17 23 13
Fax: +33 3 88 17 90 62
Email:
euro-ombudsman@europarl.eu.int
Finally if you are able to bring a case before the Court, the
rules of the Court do require that all parties be represented by
a lawyer. This rule can be found in the 3rd paragraph of Art.19
of the Statute of the Court of Justice. The Statute is available
on our website at:
http://www.curia.eu.int/en/instit/txtdocfr/txtsenvigueur/statut.pdf
I hope this information is of use to you.

Press and Information Division,
Court of Justice of the European Communities.

The Information Service
The European Union Court of Justice
L-2925 Luxembourg.
European Union reference number: Petition 809/2001 (Mr Gemelli).
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am experiencing major problems connected with
maladministration which (as I see it) are grossly in breach of
the "right to good administration" principles set out in Item 1,
Article 41 of the European Union Charter on Fundamental Rights.
From my viewpoint, the maladministration problems in question
are associated with individual people, and with various bodies
in the Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom, and within the
European Union administration itself.
I would very much like to have the set of maladministration
problems in question examined by the European Union Court of
Justice please. However, there is at present a huge obstacle in
the way of I doing so: and this has to do with the fact that I
am finding it EXTREMELY difficult to find a human-rights lawyer
willing to undertake the necessary work on my behalf.
In circumstances where I am finding it impossible to locate a
lawyer willing to help me, I now find myself wondering if it
would be possible for me to initiate the necessary EU Court of
Justice proceedings myself ? - for either the EU Court of
Justice, or, for the EU Court of First Instance. (In case there
might be any doubt about it, please note that I am not a
lawyer.)
Much of the evidence I hold regarding the maladministration
problems I have been struggling with for the past FOUR YEARS or
so can be seen by following the links on the front pages of the
two Internet web site addresses provided at the end of this
text. (For technical reasons, the http://www.finnachta.com/ web
site is the most up-to-date of the two sites at the present
time.)
My last letter on the maladministration subject to Mr Gemelli
(Chairman of the European Union Committee on Petitions) was sent
to him by registered post on September 7th 2002. Please note
that, to date, I have not received ANY reply from him (or from
any of those who were sent copies). A copy of the text of this
particular letter to Mr Gemelli, together with five associated
Post Office registered letter receipts, can be seen at www page
address:
http://www.finnachta.com/11Sept2002_.htm
Earlier today I copied the text of this letter to the www page
address provided immediately below - which has translation
facilities for several European Union languages:
http://www.finnachta.com/EU_Court_of_Justice_.htm
Later today, I intend to send a printed (and signed) copy of
this e-mail to you through the post to the following address:
The Information Service,
Cour de justice des Communautés européennes,
L-2925 Luxembourg.
I would be very grateful if you could send your answer to the
question I have raised above (in paragraph 4) to both of my
following two e-mail addresses please:
wfinnerty@eircom.net
and
billyfinnerty1945@hotmail.com
Thanking you in anticipation of your help.
Sincerely,
William Patrick Finnerty.
