New national side of euro coins intended for circulation
(2016/C 30/06)



Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area. For the purpose of informing the public and all parties who handle the coins, the Commission publishes a description of the designs of all new coins (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 European Union 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 face features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms.


Issuing country
: Italy


Subject of commemoration
: 2 200th Anniversary of the death of Tito Maccio Plauto


Description of the design
: Theatre masks representing two characters of the New Comedy, the young woman and the slave, from a mosaic of the II century A.D. (Rome, Capitoline Museums); around construction plan of a Roman theatre and the logo of the Italian Republic ‘RI’; on the left side ‘R’ and on the right side ‘LDS’, initials of the author Luciana De Simoni; below ‘184 a. C.’, ‘2016’ and ‘PLAUTO’.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Referring court

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: ERGO Poisťovňa, a.s.

Defendant: Alžbeta Barlíková

Questions referred









1.


Must the expression ‘the contract between the third party and the principal will not be executed’ in Article 11 of Council Directive 86/653/EEC of 18 December 1986 (1) on the coordination of the laws of the Member States relating to self-employed commercial agents (‘Directive 86/653’) be interpreted as meaning:






(a)


complete non-execution of the contract, that is, neither the principal nor the third party even partly performs what is provided for in the contract, or










(b)


even partial non-execution of the contract, that is, the volume of transactions envisaged is not achieved, for example, or the contract will not last for the time envisaged?
















2.


If the interpretation in indent (b) of Question 1 is correct, must Article 11(2) of Directive 86/653 be interpreted as meaning that a provision in a contract for commercial agency under which the agent is obliged to return a proportionate part of his commission if the contract between the principal and the third party is not executed to the extent envisaged, or to the extent defined by the contract for commercial agency, is not a derogation to the detriment of the agent?












3.


In the cases concerned in the main proceedings, when assessing whether ‘the principal is to blame’ within the meaning of the second indent of Article 11(1) of Directive 86/653,






(a)


may only legal reasons leading directly to termination of the contract be considered (for example, the contract ceases as a result of the non-performance of an obligation under it by the third party), or










(b)


may it also be considered whether those legal reasons were not the result of the conduct of the principal in the legal relationship with that third party which induced the third party to lose confidence in the principal and consequently to breach an obligation under the contract with the principal?

(1)  Gas delivery for public purposes.

(2)  This group is specific to the Netherlands. It involves gases with a low Wobbe index which may contain a relatively high proportion of higher hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide. It was not included in annex B of EN 437. This nameless specific group of low calorific gas will not be supplied before 1 January 2022 at the earliest.

(3)  Direct gas delivery for ‘big users’.

(4)  The safe operation of gas appliances in this group must be guaranteed for gases which contain a high level of carbon dioxide, molecular hydrogen or higher hydrocarbons. A higher Wobbe index may apply for users in exceptional geographical locations, which effectively means that a different gas group is applicable.

(5)  Supply pressures indicate the gas pressure, after the gas has passed through any gas pressure regulator, for the gas meter installed on the premises of the end consumer. Supply pressures to industrial consumers may be considerably higher.

(6)  See footnote 5.

(7)  See footnote 5.

(8)  Group E gas will not be supplied to current users of low calorific gas before 1 January 2030 at the earliest.

(9)  For domestic consumers, supply pressures reflects the pressure on entry into the meter. Supply pressures to non-domestic consumers may be considerably higher.

(10)  See footnote 9.

(11)  See footnote 9.

(12)  This is the national Wobbe-index bandwidth.
