Zahtevek za svetovalno mnenje Sodišča Efte, ki ga je dne 25. septembra 2017 vložilo sodišče Oslo tingrett v zadevi Henrik Kristoffersen proti norveški smučarski zvezi

(Zadeva E-8/17)

(2018/C 27/10)

Pri sodišču Efte je bil z dopisom z dne 25. septembra 2017, ki ga je poslalo sodišče Oslo tingrett (Okrožno sodišče v Oslu) in ga je tajništvo Sodišča Efte prejelo 25. septembra 2017, vložen zahtevek za svetovalno mnenje v zadevi Henrik Kristoffersen proti norveški smučarski zvezi glede naslednjih vprašanj:

| 1. | Katera pravna merila je treba posebej upoštevati pri presoji, ali se sistem predhodnega nadzora in odobritev za posamične tovrstne sponzorske pogodbe, ki ga ima nacionalna športna zveza, – in sicer pred prenosom pravic do takih oznak z zveze – šteje za omejitev športnikove svobode opravljanja storitev v skladu s členom 36 Sporazuma EGP ali Direktivo 2006/123/ES (direktiva o storitvah)?






  (a) | V kolikšni meri se uporablja merilo omejitve, ki ga je Sodišče Evropske unije pred tem opredelilo za regulativni okvir, ki ureja šport, med drugim v zadevi C-51/96? Ali člen 16 direktive o storitvah ali druge določbe navedene direktive pomenijo spremembo merila omejitve? |

| 2. | Katera pravna merila je treba posebej upoštevati pri presoji, ali se konkretna zavrnitev posamične sponzorske pogodbe glede takih oznak za poklicne športnike v državni reprezentanci s strani nacionalne športne zveze, – in sicer tako, da pravice do takih oznak zadrži zveza – šteje za omejitev športnikove svobode opravljanja storitev v skladu s členom 36 Sporazuma EGP ali Direktivo 2006/123/ES (direktiva o storitvah)?






  (a) | Kako na presojo vpliva to, da je nacionalna športna zveza že sklenila veljavno pogodbo z glavnim sponzorjem državne reprezentance glede izpostavljenosti logotipa zadevne oznake na čeladah/pokrivalih? Ali je to pomembno pri presoji glede obstoja omejitve oziroma pri presoji obstoja objektivnih in zadostnih razlogov za zavrnitev? |

Ali je to pomembno pri presoji glede obstoja omejitve oziroma pri presoji obstoja objektivnih in zadostnih razlogov za zavrnitev?

Če se šteje, da omejitev obstaja:

| 3. | Ali lahko skupna pravila nacionalne športne zveze (sistem odobritev) za morebitno uporabo oznak s strani športnikov po individualni pogodbi pomenijo sistem dovoljenj v smislu člena 4(6) Direktive 2006/123/ES (direktiva o storitvah)?






  (a) | Če je tako, ali v primeru norveškega državljana, ki je izbran v državno reprezentanco in opravlja finančne dejavnosti v zvezi s svojo udeležbo v državni reprezentanci v skladu z regulativnim okvirom nacionalne športne zveze, sistem odobritev urejata člena 9 in 10 Poglavja III – o svobodi ustanavljanja ponudnikov storitev, ali pa sistem ureja člen 16; alternativno, kakšen pravni preizkus naj se uporabi za pravilno razvrstitev? |

| 4. | Ali mora nacionalno sodišče pri ocenjevanju zakonitosti sistema – bodisi v skladu s členom 36 Sporazuma EGP bodisi v skladu s členi 9, 10 ali 16 direktive o storitvah – določbe pravil in zavrnitev upoštevati ločeno, ali pa mora upoštevati tudi:
