Questions referred







1.


Is the body of rules introduced by Law No 9/2012 in breach of Article 110 TFEU, and does it amount to the introduction of a measure which is manifestly discriminatory?










2.


Must Article 110 TFEU be interpreted as precluding the body of rules introduced by Law No 9/2012 (in its original wording) establishing a tax on pollutant emissions from motor vehicles, if that tax is structured in such a way as to discourage the putting into circulation in that Member State of second-hand vehicles purchased in other Member States, but without discouraging the purchase of second-hand vehicles of the same age and condition on the domestic market?

Action brought on 27 February 2013 — European Commission v Federal Republic of Germany
(Case C-100/13)
2013/C 114/45
Language of the case: German

Parties


Applicant: European Commission (represented by: G. Wilms and G. Zavvos, acting as Agents)

Defendant: Federal Republic of Germany

Form of order sought

The European Commission claims that the Court should:






—


declare that, in so far as the German authorities use the construction products lists to demand additional approvals for effective market access and the use of construction products, instead of incorporating the required assessment methods and criteria within the framework of the harmonised European standards, the defendant has failed to fulfil its obligations under Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products, (1) and, in particular, under Article 4(2) and Article 6(1) thereof;










—


order the defendant to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The defendant has failed to fulfil its obligations under Articles 4 and 6 of Directive 89/106/EEC. The use of construction products lists has the result that additional, prior approvals are demanded for effective market access and the use of construction products. Many cases do not concern possible requirements with regard to new characteristics. Rather, requirements which were already established before harmonisation, and which could have and should have been covered by incorporation of the required assessment methods and criteria within the harmonised framework, are adhered to.
