54. In that case of TWD Textilwerke Deggendorf (supra) – the rationale was elaborated at length as follows: “The court held that Article 173 of the Treaty precluded the recipient of state aid who could have challenged the Commission decision declaring the aid unlawful and incompatible with the Common Market by bringing an action for annulment within the time-limit laid down in the fifth paragraph of Article 173 of the Treaty and who did not bring such an action from challenging before the national court the measures implementing the Commission decision by seeking to rely on the illegality of that decision. A ruling to the opposite effect would give such a party the power to overcome the definitive nature which the decision has in relation to him once the time-limit for bringing legal proceedings has expired. Such a rule is based in particular on the consideration that the purpose of giving time-limits for bringing legal proceedings is to ensure certainty by preventing Community measures which produce legal effects from being called in question indefinitely as well as on the requirements of good administration of justice and procedural economy”.

The Respondents laboured valiantly to avail to us all the abundant jurisprudence of the European Human Rights Court, the Inter-American Court, the African Commission and others, that recognize the principle of “`continuing violations”`. While this jurisprudence is perfect for its particular circumstances, it is all about Human Rights violations, governed by particular Conventions on Human Rights. Furthermore, the background to that jurisprudence concerns criminal matters, whose prosecution does not in, most cases, have a prescription of time limit. In the instant case, the Respondents` cause of action was clearly the alleged infringement of Partner States’ Treaty obligations – a matter which lies outside the province of human rights and the realm of criminal law. 18
