Questions referred







1.


Must Article 32 of Council Directive 2008/118/EC (2) (Acquisition by private individuals) be interpreted as precluding a national interpretation according to which ‘own use’ is excluded, irrespective of the quantity transported, in the event of the acquisition of tobacco products for the purpose of passing them on to another person, even if the passing on is done free of charge?










2.


If the answer to Question 1 is in the affirmative,
Must Article 32 of Directive 2008/118/EC be interpreted as meaning that the concept of ‘own use’, taking into account the other criteria, in particular the quantity criterion, includes gifts to close relatives but not gifts to other persons?

Defendant: Konkurences padome

Operative part of the judgment

Article 101(1) TFEU must be interpreted as meaning that it does not require the competition authority of a Member State, when assessing whether an agreement establishing restrictions in respect of car warranties which oblige or induce car owners to carry out the repair and maintenance of that car solely at authorised representatives of the car’s manufacturer and to use the original spare parts of the manufacturer in its servicing, in order for the car’s warranty to remain valid, may be characterised as a restriction of competition by effect, within the meaning of that provision, to demonstrate the existence of specific and actual restrictive effects on competition. It is sufficient for that authority to demonstrate, in accordance with that provision, the existence of potential restrictive effects on competition, provided that they are sufficiently appreciable.
