      Questions referred
   
   
               1.
            
            
               Must Article 4(1) and Article 5 of Directive 98/70/EC (1) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 1998 relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels and amending Council Directive 93/12/EEC be interpreted as meaning that, in addition to the quality requirements laid down in the national legislation adopted on the basis of that directive, other national legislation may not impose on a fuel supplier quality requirements set out in a national standard that go beyond those provided in the Directive?
            
         
               2.
            
            
               Must Article 1(6) and (11) of Directive 98/34/EC (2) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations [and of rules on Information Society services], be interpreted as meaning that, if a technical regulation is in force (in this case, a ministerial order adopted on the basis of enabling legislation), the application of a national standard adopted in the same field can only be voluntary, that is to say, the legislation may not prescribe the mandatory application thereof?
            
         
               3.
            
            
               Is the criterion of availability to the public of the national standard laid down in [Article 1](6) of Directive 98/34/EC met by a rule that, at the time at which it should have been applied according to the administrative authority, was not available in the national language?
