   (2005/C 45/25)
   Language of the case: German
   Reference has been made to the Court of Justice of the European Communities by order of the Verwaltungsgericht (Administrative Court) Sigmaringen (Fourth Chamber) (Germany) of 28 September 2004, received at the Court Registry on 29 November 2004, for a preliminary ruling in the case of Alexander Jehle and Weinhaus Kiderlen against Land Baden-Württemberg on the following questions:
   
               1.
            
            
               Are Articles 1 to 12 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 (1) of 13 June 2002 on marketing standards for olive oil (OJ 2002 L 155, p. 27), amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1176/2003 of 1 July 2003 (OJ 2003 L 164, p. 12), to be construed as meaning that those provisions also lay down rules governing the presentation of unpackaged olive oils and olive-pomace oils to final consumers?
            
         
               2.
            
            
               Is the first paragraph of Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 of 13 June 2002 on marketing standards for olive oil (OJ 2002 L 155, p. 27), amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1176/2003 of 1 July 2003 (OJ 2003 L 164, p. 12), to be construed as containing a prohibition of the presentation of unpackaged olive oils and olive-pomace oils to final consumers?
            
         
               3.
            
            
               If relevant, is the first paragraph of Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 of 13 June 2002 on marketing standards for olive oil (OJ 2002 L 155, p. 27), amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1176/2003 of 1 July 2003 (OJ 2003 L 164, p. 12), to be construed restrictively as meaning that, while it does contain a prohibition of the presentation of unpackaged olive oils and olive-pomace oils to the final consumer, that prohibition does not apply to the sale of unpackaged olive oils and olive-pomace oils effected under the ‘Bag in the Box procedure’?
            
         
      (1)  OJ L 155, p. 27.
