   (2004/C 251/14)
   Reference has been made to the Court of Justice of the European Communities by order of the Oberste Gerichtshof of 21 July 2004 received at the Court Registry on 10 August 2004, for a preliminary ruling in the case of Land Oberösterreich against ČEZ a.s. on the following question:
