Referring court

Markkinaoikeus

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: Mylan AB

Defendants: Gilead Sciences Finland Oy, Gilead Biopharmaceutics Ireland UC, Gilead Sciences, Inc.

Questions referred







1.


Is a compensation regime based on strict liability, such as that described above (paragraphs 16 to 18 of this request for a preliminary ruling) which is in force in Finland, to be regarded as compatible with Article 9(7) of the Enforcement Directive? (1)











2.


If the first question is answered in the negative, what then is the nature of the liability for compensation on which the liability under Article 9(7) of the Enforcement Directive is based? Is that liability to be regarded as a form of liability based on fault, an abuse of rights, or some other ground?










3.


In relation to the second question, what circumstances must be taken into account in assessing the existence of liability?










4.


In particular, as regards the third question, must the assessment be made solely on the basis of the circumstances known at the time when the provisional measure was obtained, or is it permissible to take into account, for example, the fact that the intellectual property right on whose alleged infringement the provisional measure was based was subsequently, after that measure was obtained, found to be invalid ab initio and, if so, what significance is to be attached to that circumstance?

Parties to the main proceedings


Appellant: Maxi Mobility Spain, S. L. U.

Respondents: Comunidad de Madrid, Asociación Nacional del Taxi, Asociación Taxi Project 2.0

Questions referred

Spanish national legislation considers the maintenance of a taxi service to be a form of urban transport using vehicles with driver in the public interest and therefore subjects it to intense administrative regulation in order to guarantee quality objectives, user protection, transport policy and environmental policy, including fare control. In view of that national legislation,






1.


Is it compatible with the principle of freedom of establishment to impose limitations on other urban transport services using vehicles with driver, such as PHV, subject to the principle of proportionality, in order to ensure the compatibility and complementarity of those other models of the same activity with that of taxis?










2.


If the answer to the previous question is in the affirmative, is it compatible with the principle of freedom of establishment to impose, as regards urban transport services using vehicles with driver other than taxi services, such as PHV, the specific restrictive measure of establishing a maximum ratio of authorisations in respect of taxi licences, such as the 1/30 ratio laid down in the Spanish legislation, subject in its application by the competent administration to the principle of proportionality?










3.


Is the restrictive measure for PHV of establishing a 1/30 licence ratio as described in the previous question compatible with the prohibition on State aid under Article 107 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union?

Questions referred







1.


Does the right to compensation for a delay in a flight of more than three hours after the scheduled time of arrival under Articles 5, 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 (1) require that, in accordance with Article 3(2)(a) thereof, the passenger must present himself or herself for check-in at the time indicated by the air carrier, the tour operator or an authorised travel agent, but not later than 45 minutes before the published departure time, or is the case of a long delay in the above sense exempt from that requirement — as in the case where a flight is cancelled?










2.


In the event that the right to compensation is not exempt, on the sole basis of the occurrence of a long delay in the above sense, from the requirement for passengers to present themselves for check-in, does such an exemption apply where the passenger had sufficiently reliable information indicating that the flight would arrive only with a long delay in the above sense?






(1)  Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004 establishing common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of denied boarding and of cancellation or long delay of flights, and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 295/91 (OJ 2004 L 46, p. 1).
