Referring court

Curtea de Apel Alba Iulia

Parties to the main proceedings


Appellant: Biohemp Concept SRL

Respondent: Direcţia pentru Agricultură Judeţeană Alba

Operative part of the judgment

EU law relating to the common agricultural policy must be interpreted as not precluding a prohibition, in a Member State, on the cultivation of hemp (Cannabis sativa) using hydroponic systems in an indoor environment, provided that that prohibition is an appropriate means of securing the objective of protecting public health and that, in the light of the objectives of the common agricultural policy and the proper functioning of the common organisation of the markets, it does not go beyond what is necessary to attain the objective of protecting public health.

Judgment of the Court (Seventh Chamber) of 4 October 2024 (request for a preliminary ruling from the Oberster Gerichtshof – Austria) – GF v Schauinsland-Reisen GmbH


(Case C-546/22,
                (1)
Schauinsland-Reisen)

(Reference for a preliminary ruling - Package travel and linked travel arrangements - Directive (EU) 2015/2302 - Article 12(3) - Termination of a package travel contract by the organiser - Unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances - Performance of the trip prevented as a result of such circumstances - Official recommendation advising against travel to the destination country due to the spread of COVID-19)
(C/2024/7005)
Language of the case: German

Referring court

Oberster Gerichtshof

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: GF

Defendant: Schauinsland-Reisen GmbH

Operative part of the judgment

Article 12(3)(b) of Directive (EU) 2015/2302 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2015 on package travel and linked travel arrangements, amending Regulation (EC) No 2006/2004 and Directive 2011/83/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Directive 90/314/EEC,
must be interpreted as meaning that, in order establish that it is prevented from performing a package travel contract due to unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances, within the meaning of that provision, the organiser can rely on the publication, by the competent authorities, of an official recommendation advising travellers against travelling to the area concerned, even though the traveller declared that he or she still wished to proceed with the trip and that it would not have been objectively impossible for the organiser to perform that travel contract. However, such a recommendation cannot constitute compelling evidence in that regard.
