Parties to the main proceedings


Appellant: G. Brouwer

Respondent: Staatssecretaris van Economische Zaken, Landbouw en Innovatie

Questions referred







1.


Must Directive 91/629/EEC (1) be interpreted as meaning that the management requirements within the meaning of Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 (2) arising out of that directive are also applicable to calves which are kept confined by a farmer in the context of a dairy farming operation?










2.


If that question is answered in the negative, does the fact that a Member State has implemented that directive by means of legislation which declares the aforementioned requirements to be nevertheless applicable to such calves, give grounds, in the event of an infringement of those requirements in that Member State, for deeming a reduction or exclusion under Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 to be necessary?






(1)  Council Directive of 19 November 1991 laying down minimum standards for the protection of calves (OJ 1991 L 340, p. 28).

(2)  Council Regulation of 29 September 2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers and amending Regulations (EEC) No 2019/93, (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/2001, (EC) No 1454/2001, (EC) 1868/94, (EC) No 1251/1999, (EC) No 1254/1999, (EC) No 1673/2000, (EEC) No 2358/71 and (EC) No 2529/2001 (OJ 2003 L 270, p. 1).

Pleas in law and main arguments


Applicant for a Community trade mark: The other party to the proceedings before the Board of Appeal

Community trade mark concerned: The word mark ‘DOLPHIN’, for inter alia goods in class 9 — Community trade mark application No 5046231

Proprietor of the mark or sign cited in the opposition proceedings: The applicant

Mark or sign cited in opposition: Community trade mark registration No 936229 of the word mark ‘DOLPHIN’, for goods in class 9

Decision of the Opposition Division: Upheld the opposition for part of the contested goods

Decision of the Board of Appeal: Partially annulled the decision of the Opposition division

Pleas in law: Infringement of Article 8(1)(b) of Council Regulation No 207/2009, as the Board of Appeal failed to make a global analysis of the relevant factors but merely rejected the opposition on the basis that the goods are different, establishing minimal differences between them, and without giving the adequate weight in the comparative analysis to the identity in the signs ‘DOLPHIN’.
