The European Commission will formally request France to amend its national legislation on the sale of optical products and glasses. This formal request will take the form of a ‘reasoned opinion’, the second stage of infringement proceedings under Article 226 of the EC Treaty. If there is no satisfactory response within two months, the Commission may refer the matter to the European Court of Justice.
