Den retslige procedures varighed kan derfor ikke retfærdiggøre en forlængelse af den overgangsperiode, som koordinationscentrene reelt havde siden den 18. februar 2003, med en så stor tilbagedatering af overgangsperiodens begyndelsestidspunkt.
The duration of the judicial procedure cannot, therefore, justify extension of the transitional period, which had, in practice, been granted to the coordination centres with effect from 18 February 2003, by deferring the starting date of the transitional period to that date.
