Question juridique clé
Whether the administrative appeal had to be declared inadmissible because the advance on costs was not paid within the set time limit.
Solution extraite
Yes. The time limit expired without payment, so the appeal had to be declared inadmissible under the applicable procedural rules and prior warning.
Motifs extraits
Because the challenged decision was issued before 1 January 2007, the OJ applied. As the required security was not provided within the deadline fixed in the order, Art. 150 para. 4 OJ mandated non-entry.
