National side of the new commemorative 2-euro coin intended for circulation and issued by Greece

Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area. The Commission publishes all new euro coin designs with a view to informing all parties required to handle coins in the course of their work as well as the public at large (1). In accordance with the Council conclusions of 10 February 2009 (2), euro-area Member States and countries that have concluded a monetary agreement with the Community providing for the issuing of euro coins are allowed to issue commemorative euro coins intended for circulation, provided that certain conditions are met, particularly that only the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the same technical characteristics as other 2-euro coins, but their national side features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms.
Issuing country: Greece
Subject of commemoration: The 2 500th anniversary of the Battle of Marathon
Description of the design: The inner part of the coin shows a synthesis of a shield and a runner/warrior symbolising the battle for freedom and the noble ideals derived from the battle of Marathon. The bird on the shield symbolises the birth of western civilization at his present form. Around the image it is written in Greek ‘ΜΑΡΑΘΩΝΑΣ/2500 ΧΡΟΝΙΑ/490 Π.Χ./2010 Μ.Χ.’ and the issuing country ‘ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ’.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.
Number of coins to be issued: 2,5 million
Date of issue: October 2010


(1)  See OJ C 373, 28.12.2001, p. 1 for the national sides of all the coins issued in 2002.

(2)  See the conclusions of the Economic and Financial Affairs Council of 10 February 2009 and the Commission Recommendation of 19 December 2008 on common guidelines for the national sides and the issuance of euro coins intended for circulation (OJ L 9, 14.1.2009, p. 52).

Language of the case: Spanish

Parties


Applicant: European Commission (represented by: H. Støvlbæk and R. Vidal Puig, Agents)

Defendant: Kingdom of Spain

Form of order sought







—


Declare that the Kingdom of Spain has failed to fulfil its obligations under Articles 4(1), 11(2), 14(1) and 30(1) of Directive 2001/14/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2001 on the allocation of railway infrastructure capacity and the levying of charges for the use of railway infrastructure and safety certification, (1) and under Article 10(7) of Council Directive 91/440/EEC of 29 July 1991 on the development of the Community’s railways. (2)











—


Order the Kingdom of Spain to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The Commission submits that the Kingdom of Spain has failed to comply with the following provisions of the above-mentioned directives:






1.


Article 4(1) of Directive 2001/14/EC, in so far as the level of railway infrastructure charges is ‘determined’ exclusively by the State authorities, the function of the ‘infrastructure manager’, Administrador de Infraestructuras Ferroviarias (ADIF), being reduced to merely collecting the charges;










2.


Article 11 of Directive 2001/14/EC, since the charging scheme introduced by the Spanish authorities does not set out any performance scheme in accordance with the criteria laid down in that article;










3.


Article 30(1) of Directive 2001/14/EC, since the Spanish legislation does not ensure that the regulatory body (el Comité de Regulación Ferroviaria) is sufficiently independent vis-à-vis ADIF (the railway infrastructure manager) and RENFE-Operadora (a railway undertaking attached to the Spanish Ministry of Public Works);










4.


Article 10(7) of Directive 91/440/EEC, because the regulatory body (el Comité de Regulación Ferroviaria) lacks the means necessary to perform the function conferred on it under that article of monitoring the competition in the rail services markets;










5.


Article 13(2) and Article 14(1) of Directive 2001/14/EC in so far as the Spanish legislation lays down criteria for the allocation of railway infrastructure capacity which are discriminatory; these may in fact result in the allocation of train paths for a longer term than one working timetable period; the criteria are also lacking in detail.

Questions referred







1.


Are the interpretation and application of Article 3 of Law 241/1990 and of Article 3 of Sicilian Regional Law 10/1991 — in relation to Article 1 of Law 241/90, which requires the Italian administrative authorities to apply the principles of European Union law, pursuant to the obligation to state reasons for the acts of public authorities laid down in the second paragraph of Article 296 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and in the third indent of Article 41(2) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union — to the effect that measures of public authorities in a private-law form — that is to say, measures relating to individual rights and which are in any event mandatory, in matters relating to pensions — may be exempt from the obligation to state reasons, compatible with European Union law, and does such a case amount to infringement of an essential procedural requirement governing an administrative measure?










2.


Is the first sentence of Article 21g(2) of Law 241/1990, as interpreted by the administrative case-law — in relation to the obligation to state reasons for an administrative measure laid down by Article 3 of Law 241/1990 and by Sicilian Regional Law 10/1991, in conjunction with the obligation to state reasons for the acts of public authorities laid down by the second paragraph of Article 296 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and the third indent of Article 41(2) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union — compatible with Article 1 of Law 241/1990, which requires the administrative authorities to apply the principles of European Union law, and, consequently, are the interpretation and application of that interpretation whereby the authorities may supplement a statement of reasons for an administrative measure in court proceedings compatible and admissible?
