Must the term ‘specimen’ as used in Article 2(t) of Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 of 9 December 1996 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein (2) be interpreted as encompassing a medicinal product which is legally available in pharmacies of a third country that is not a member of the European Union and which contains, in its complex composition, inter alia, extract of Japanese seahorse (Syngnathidae Hippocampus spp. (II)), listed in Annex B to that regulation?










2.


Must Article 1 of Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 of 9 December 1996 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein, read in the light of Article 2(t) of that regulation, be interpreted as precluding rules of national law according to which it is possible to hold criminally responsible a consumer who imports into the Community (without a permit) a medicinal product for personal use which was legally purchased in a pharmacy of a third country that is not a member of the European Union and which contains, in its complex composition, inter alia, extract of Japanese seahorse (Syngnathidae Hippocampus spp. (II)), listed in Annex B to that regulation, if there is no evidence of a commercial purpose?










3.


Must the term ‘personal or household effects’ as used in Article 2(j) of Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 of 9 December 1996 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein, which serves as the basis for an exemption (derogation) from the obligation to present a permit under Article 7(3) of that regulation, be interpreted as encompassing a medicinal product which is acquired for the medical needs of the purchaser or of a close relative, was legally purchased in a pharmacy of a third country that is not a member of the European Union, and contains, in its complex composition, inter alia, extract of Japanese seahorse (Syngnathidae Hippocampus spp. (II)), listed in Annex B to that regulation, if there is no evidence of a commercial purpose?

Questions referred







(a)


Must Article 85c(1) of Directive 2001/83/ΕC (1) be interpreted as precluding a national provision which permits the sale at a distance to the public by means of information society services, by electronic pharmacy establishments, not of all non-prescription medicinal products, but of one sub-category only thereof (in the present case, generic medicinal products)?










(b)


Or, on the contrary, does Article 85c(2) of Directive 2001/83/ΕC permit the national legislature to prohibit sales at a distance to the public by means of information society services, by electronic pharmacy establishments, of certain medicinal products not subject to medical prescription, on grounds of public health protection?










(c)


If the answer to question (b) is in the affirmative, are the grounds relied on in the present case by the Greek state and the Panhellenic Pharmaceutical Association to justify the restriction in question (combating overmedication and the trafficking of counterfeit or inappropriate medicinal products, and so forth) grounds of public health protection within the meaning of Article 85c(2) of Directive 2001/83/ΕC?










(d)


If the answer to question (c) is in the affirmative, is the national court to review the proportionality of the restrictive measure by carrying out negative screening, that is to say, is it to assess only whether the restriction appears to be manifestly inappropriate or manifestly unnecessary, or, conversely, is the court to carry out positive screening, that is to say, is it to assess whether the restriction appears to be an appropriate and strictly necessary measure for public health protection?

Referring court

Corte suprema di cassazione

Parties to the main proceedings


Appellant: C.M.

Respondent: Ministero dell’Istruzione e del Merito

Questions referred







1.


Must Article 5 (‘Reasonable accommodation for disabled persons’) of Council Directive 2000/78/EC of 27 November 2000 establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation (2) be interpreted as precluding national legislation, such as the Italian legislation contained in the Contratto Collettivo Nazionale Integrativo concernente la mobilità del personale docente, educativo ed A.T.A. [(Supplementary national collective agreement concerning the mobility of teaching, educational and administrative, technical and auxiliary staff)] for the academic year 2017/2018, which, by reason of the combined provisions of its Article 6(2) and Article 13(1) grants the priority referred to in Article 13(1)(III)(1) to the disabled school staff referred to in Article 21 of Law No 104/92, mentioned in Article 601 of Legislative Decree No 297/94, making mobility within a province take precedence over mobility between provinces?










2.


Within the meaning of Article 2(2)(b)(i) of Directive 2000/78, is the particular disadvantage at which teachers with a disability [amounting to incapacity] of more than two thirds may be put by the above-mentioned national provisions objectively justified by a legitimate aim, ensuring that highly complex territorial mobility operations which involve the whole of the national territory are carried out by the beginning of the school year, and are the means of achieving that aim appropriate, not going beyond what is necessary to attain the objective pursued by the legislation and agreements? Or, on the contrary, does the above-mentioned legislation discriminate against the above-mentioned teachers, resulting in the de facto loss of the priority granted in mobility procedures, because the procedures relate only to mobility within a province, and not between provinces, and thus the priority is not absolute (as is provided for in the case of other categories of persons with disabilities)?
