Question referred

Does Article 1[(1)](b) of Council Directive 2001/23/EC (1) of 12 March 2001, in conjunction with Article 4(1) thereof, preclude an interpretation of the Spanish legislation intended to give effect to the Directive, to the effect that a public-sector undertaking, responsible for a service central to its own activities and requiring important material resources, that has been providing that service by means of a public contract, requiring the contractor to use those resources which it owns, is not subject to the obligation to take over the rights and obligations relating to employment relationships when it decides not to extend the contract but to assume direct responsibility for its performance, using its own staff and thereby excluding the staff employed by the contractor, so that the service continues to be provided without any change other than that arising as a result of the replacement of the workers performing the activities and the fact that they are employed by a different employer?

Questions referred







1)


Must Articles 12 and 13 of Directive 2002/22/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) of 7 March 2002 on universal service and users’ rights relating to electronic communications networks and services (‘the Directive’) be interpreted as meaning that the concept laid down there of the ‘net cost’ of providing that service precludes a ‘reasonable profit’ of the provider from being included in the amount of the ascertained net cost of that service?










2)


If the answer to Question 1 is in the affirmative, do those provisions of the Directive (Articles 12 and 13) have direct effect?










3)


If Articles 12 and 13 of the Directive have direct effect, may that effect be relied on against a commercial company in which a Member State holds (controls) 51 % of the shares — in this case, O2 Czech Republic a.s. (is it a ‘State entity’) or not?










4)


If the answers to Questions 1 to 3 are in the affirmative, may the Directive be applied also to relations which came into being in the period before the accession of the Czech Republic to the European Union (from 1 January to 30 April 2004)?
