Selv om en overtrædelse af" artikel 85 på grund af nedsættelsen af" de faste beløb i medfør af artikel 35 i den tyske sygesikringslov (Sozialgesetzbuch eller SGB) havde været mulig, blev der ikke truffet en foreløbig afgørelse, da en afvejning af de interesser, der var på spil, viste, at risikoen for at skabe præcedens til fordel for sagsøgte var afgørende (artikel 935 i den tyske civilproceslov (Zivilprozeßordnung eller ZPO)).
Although it was foreseeable that there would be an infringement of Article 85 of the EC Treaty ifamounts fixed under Article 35 of the Social Security Code were reduced, no injunction was issued sincethe determining factor was that, the balance of the interests involved indicated a risk of creating aprecedent in favour of the defendant, which was decisive (Article 935 of the Code of Civil Procedure).

Sagsøgeren havde ikke ret til at få leveret kosmetikprodukter til lager, da han ikke på overbevisende måde havde bevist, at han opfyldte de betingelser, der var gældende for de sædvanlige forhandlinger af produkterne.
The applicant did not have a right to be supplied with cosmetic products intended for warehousingbecause he had failed to provide conclusive evidence that he fulfilled the criteria required for ordinarysellers of such products.

I en berigtigende dom afslog den østrigske højesteret i sin egenskab af øverste domstol for konkurrencespørgsmål at behandle en klage fra en virksomhed med markedsstyrke mod en afgørelse
The Supreme Court, in its capacity as Supreme Restrictive Practices Court, dismissed an appeal by acompany holding a certain degree of market power against a decision of the Vienna Higher Provincial Court, in its capacity as Higher Restrictive Practices Court, to refer a question for a preliminary ruling tothe European Court of Justice under Article 177.
Præsidenten for handelsdomstolen i Bruxelles traf en afgørelse, hvorefter en fysisk person og en virksomhed blev dornt for misbrug af"dominerende stilling, idet de havde tilegnet sig visse firmanavne på Internettet og solgt dem videre til en meget hoj pris.
Internet and selling them at a very high price.
De anklagede havde faktisk skallet sig monopol på det omhandlede marked nemlig markedet for topdomæner ».COM« på Internettet og havde udnyttet dette monopol til at gennemtvinge deres egne økonomiske betingelser.
The defendants thus acquired a monopoly on the market inquestion i.e. upper-grade COM names on the Internet and used this monopoly to fix their own financialterms.
Disse stod på ingen måde i forhold til de faktisk ydede tjenester, der bestod i at reservere kendte firmanavne på Internettet, uden at indehaverne af navnene havde kendskab til dette. De omhandlede virksomheder var tvunget lil at acceptere disse betingelser af rent forretningsmæssige grunde.
Those terms were not proportionate to the services actually provided, which consisted in reservingwell-known company names on the Internet unknown to the companies themselves; the enterprises inquestion were obliged to accept those terms for purely commercial reasons.
Præsidenten fastslog, at både de belgiske og de europæiske konkurrenceregler var overtrådt.
The President ruled that both Belgian and European competition rules had been infringed.
Højesteret har ved dom af 15. april 1997 i sag II. 325/1991 Supermarket systems SA mod Calcata Systems Aps. i forbindelse med et erstatningssøgsmål fastslået, at en konkurrenceklausul i en eneforhandlingsaftale, som var gældende i 3 år efter aftalens ophor, ikke var omfattet af Kommissionens forordning nr. 1983/83 om gruppefritagelse af eneforhandlingsaftaler, og at konkurrenceklausulen derfor måtte anses for at være i strid med forbuddet i EF-traktatens artikel 85, stk. 1.
The Supreme Court, in a judgment delivered on 15 April 1997 in the case Supermarket systems SA v Cateena Systems Aps in a claim for damages, ruled that a non-competition clause in an exclusivedistribution agreement valid for three years from the term of the agreement was not covered by Commission Regulation No (EEC) 1983/83 on the application of Article 85(3) of the Treaty to categoriesof exclusive distribution agreements and must therefore be considered incompatible with Article 85(1) ofthe Treaty.
Aftalen vedrørte eneforhandling af møntdeponeringslåse til indkøbsvogne i Frankrig.
The agreement concerned the exclusive distribution of coin-operated locks for supermarkettrolleys in France.
Ved dom af' 15. december 1994 besvarede EF-Domstolen en række spørgsmål, som Østre Landsret havde forelagt EF-Domstolen i anledning afen verserende erstatningssag, som var rejst al'Gøllrup-Klim m.fl. Grovvareforeninger (LAG) mod Dansk Landbrugs Grovvareselskab A.m.h.a. (DLG).
In a judgment of 15 December 1994, the European Court of Justice replied to a series of questionsreferred to it for a preliminary ruling by the Eastern Regional Court (Bstre Landsret) in an action fordamages brought by G0ttrup-Klim and others Grovvareforeninger (LAG) against Dansk Landbrugs Grovvareselskab A.m.b.a. (DLG).
LAG var blevet ekskluderet af DLG, fordi LAG havde foretaget organiseret indkøb af gødning og planteværnsmidler, hvilket var i strid med DLG's nye vedtægter, som var vedtaget trods modstand fra bl.a. LAG.
LAG, a cooperative, excluded DLG because it made cooperativepurchases of fertilisers and plant-protection products, in breach of DLG's internal rules which had beenadopted against LAG'S wishes.
LAG hævdede, at DLG's vedtægter for så vidt angik organiseret indkøbssamarbejde var i strid med EU's konkurrenceregler, og de stillede spørgsmål vedrørte derfor en fortolkning af anvendelsen af traktatens artikel 85 og 86 på vedtægter inden for andelsvirksomheder.
Accordingly, a reference for a preliminaryruling was submitted to determine whether Articles 85 and 86 applied to the statutes of cooperativeassociations.
Domstolen fandt, at en vedtægtsbestemmelse i en andelsindkøbsforening, som begrænser medlemmernes muligheder for at deltage i andre former for samarbejde i konkurrence med foreningen, ikke nødvendigvis var omfattet af forbuddet i artikel 85, stk. 1. men endog kunne have gavnlige virkninger for konkurrencen.
The European Court of Justice ruled that a provision in the statutes of a cooperative purchasingassociation forbidding its members to participate in other forms of organised cooperation which are incompetition with it did not necessarily constitute a restriction of competition within the meaning of Article 85(1) and might indeed produce positive effects on competition.
Det var dog en betingelse, at de begrænsninger, der påhvilede medlemmerne i henhold til vedtægterne, var begrænset til, hvad der var nødvendigt for at sikre en tilfredsstillende drift al' andelsvirksomheden og for at opretholde dens kontraheringsstyrke over for producenterne.
Nevertheless, the Court ruledthat the restrictions imposed on members must be limited to what was necessary to ensure that thecooperative functioned properly and maintained its contractual power in relation to producers.
På den baggrund har Østre Landsret ved dom af 6. november 1996 fastslået, at LAG's organiserede indkøbssamarbejde udgjorde en ikke uvæsentlig trussel mod DLG's kontraheringsstyrke på markedet for gødning og planteværnsmidler.
In the light of that judgment, the Eastern Regional Court laid down, in a judgment of 6 November 1996,that LAG as a purchasing cooperative represented a considerable threat to the DLG's contractual poweron the market in fertilisers and plant-protection products.
Lokalforeningernes organiserede indkøbssamarbejde havde eller kunne af DLG befrygtes at fa et sådant omfang, at udsigten for DLG til al miste en ikke uvæsentlig og stigende
The DLG feared, or had reason to fear, that thecooperative set up by local enterprises might develop to such an extent that the prospect of a considerableand increasing loss of part of its market for those products would be liable to weaken its purchasingpower seriously; it was therefore necessary to take measures against those enterprises in order to maintainthe contractual power it had hitherto enjoyed and thus ensure that the cooperative functioned properly.

Domstolen150 stadfæstede på basis af artikel 85, stk. 1, de sanktioner, som konkurrencerådet havde fastsat for aftaler om opdeling af de offentlige anlægsarbejder vedrørende Pont de Normandie, højhastighedsforbindelsen mellem »Nord« og »Sud-Est« og deres forbindelse; derimod nedsatte domstolen sanktionsbelobet for små og mellemstore virksomheder i overensstemmelse med økonomiministerens henstilling.
The Court of Appeal upheld under Article 85(1) the penalties imposed by the Competition Council in,respect of agreements dividing public works contracts concerning the Pont de Normandie, the TGV northand south-east links and their interconnection; however, it reduced the amount of the penalties on smalland medium-sized enterprises, as sought by the Ministry of Economic Affairs.I29
'1 vedrører anvendelsen af' artikel 86 på en sammenkobling af partier i et offentligt udbud fra medicinalfirmaet Lilly France, der havde afgivet tilbud på en sygehusordre på lægemidler, som konkurrencerådet havde sanktioneret.
The second judgment130involves the application of Article 86 to the linking of lots in a public tenderingprocedure practised by the pharmaceutical company, Lilly-France, which was seeking a contract for thesupply of medicinal products to hospitals.
Virksomhedens tilbud som gjorde indrømmelse afen rabat på en levering af lægemidler, på hvilke virksomheden havde patent, afhængig af afgivelse af ordrer på et andet generisk lægemiddel, blev anset for at udgore misbrug af dominerende stilling.
The Competition Council considered this to be improper.Lilly-France's tender, which made the reduced rate for one lot of medicinal products for which it held thepatent conditional on its winning the tender for a second lot of generic products, was considered toconstitute abuse of a dominant position.
1 en dom afsagt af den franske højesteret112som følge af" en appel fra en uafhængig forhandler af motorkoretojer. selskabet Espace Diffusion, der var blevet anlagt som følge af klager fra forhandlere, anvendte man EU's retspraksis for denne sektor.
The Court of Cassation, in a judgment131delivered on an appeal submitted by an independent motorvehicle dealer, Espace Diffusion, which had had to pay damages following complaints submitted byconcessionaires, involved the interpretation of the case-law of the Court of Justice in this area.
Efter at have fastslået at de reklameskilte, der var påsat koretojernc, ikke var i overensstemmelse med EU-lovgivningen, da det ikke klart fremgik, at forhandleren var kommissionær, pålagde appeldomstolen i Nîmes selskabet at bringe sin praksis i overensstemmelse med de gældende regler, idet selskabet i modsat fald ville blive idømt en bøde.
The Nimes Court of Appeal considered that advertising panels on the dealer's vehicles were not in accordance withthe Community rules since they failed to specify that the seller was acting as an agent and ordered thedealer to bring the panels into line with the Community rules.
Højesteretten støttede sig på dommene i sagerne »Grand Garage Albigeois« og »Nissan France SA« af 15. februar 1996, hvori det fastslås, at fritagelscsforordningcn nr. 123/85 »ikke er til hinder for, at en operator, der hverken er godkendt forhandler i distributionsnettet eller godkendt mellemmand, udøver parallelimportvirksomhed« for at ophæve appeldomstolens dom.
In its judgment the Court of Cassationrelied on the judgments of the European Court of Justice of 15 February 1996 in the Grand Garage Albigeois and Nissan France SA cases, laying down that the block exemption Regulation did not preventan operator who is not a car manufacturer's authorised seller in a distribution network or an authorisedintermediary from carrying out parallel imports and reversed the Court of Appeal's judgment.
For første gang anvendte den franske forvaltningsdomstol direkte artikel 86 i en dom om forbundet af franske forsikringsselskaber'".
In 1996 the Council of State for the first time applied Article 86 directly in its judgment in the FederationFrancaise des societes d 'assurance case.132 It was required to determine the legality of a decree assigning to an agricultural national mutual insurance fund exclusive responsibility for operating a supplementaryretirement insurance scheme for self-employed persons in the agricultural sector.
Den overste forvaltningsdomstol skulle tage stilling til lovligheden af et dekret, hvorved »caisse nationale d'assurance mutuelle agricole« fik eneret til at forvalte en supplerende
The Council held that,since the insurance fund derived a decisive competitive advantage in that taxable income was deductible,the holding of exclusive rights itself established the existence of a dominant position.

Appeldomstolen i Hertogenbosch og domstolen i Zutphen afsagde en endelig dom om de udtrædelsesregler. der gælder for medlemmerne af mælkekooperativet Coberco og Melkunie, der var blevet forelagt dem til afgorelse.
The 's Hertogenbosch Court of Appeal and the Zutphen Court of First Instance have delivered finaljudgment on the arrangements applicable to members of the Coberco and Melkunie dairy cooperativeswishing to resign.
Vurderingen af" disse udtrædelsesregler er baseret på Kommissionens holdning i Campina­sagen (Kommissionens pressemeddelelse af 5. juni 1995).
In considering those arrangements, the courts followed the line adopted by the Commission in the Campina case (cf. Commission press release of 5 June 1995).
I det tilfælde vurderede Kommissionen, at udtrædelsesregler. der gav medlemmerne mulighed for at træde ud pr. 1. april, 1. september eller 31. december med et opsigelsesvarsel på to år og uden betaling af" udtrædelscserstatning, var konkurrencebegrænsende, men at en sådan ordning var acceptabel i betragtning af markedsstrukturen og Campinas stilling på markedet.
The Commissionconsidered that resignation conditions enabling members to leave on 1 April, 1 September or31 December on two years' notice without having to pay a resignation fee in fact constituted a restrictionof competition but one which was acceptable in view of the structure of the market and Campina'sposition on that market.
De regler, der gælder for Coberco og Melkunie, er mere restriktive end i Campina­sagen, som Kommissionen kun lige vurderede som acceptable.
The Coberco and Melkunie conditions are more restrictive than those of Campina, which the Commission considered to be at the limit of what is acceptable.
De to udtrædelsesordninger blev derfor dømt uacceptable.
The two schemes were thereforeconsidered unacceptable.
Domstolen i Zutphen fastslog i modsætning til appeldomstolen i Hertogcnbosch, der blot kendte Melkunie­ordningen ulovlig, at Cobercos udtrædclsesordning, der var kendt ulovlig, burde ændres til en lovlig ordning.
The ruling of the Zutphen Court differed from that of the 's Hertogenbosch Court of Appeal; the latter laid down that the Melkunie arrangements were simply null and void, whilethe former court considered that Coberco's arrangements which had been annulled should be adapted toform a valid system.
I en anden sag fandt appeldomstolen i Hertogcnbosch det nødvendigt at rette spørgsmål til Kommissionen om en vcdtægtsbestcmmclse for et kooperativ inden for kvægopdræt og kød da disse markeder endnu ikke var blevet detaljeret beskrevet (Brabantse Vee­en Vleescentrale van de Noord­Brabantsc christelijke Boerenbond BZ mod Van Boxmeer, nr. 705/94).
In another case the 's Hertogenbosch Court of Appeal submitted questions to the Commission concerninga clause in the internal regulations of a cooperative in the stock-raising and meat sector since thosemarkets have not yet been described in detail (Case 705/94 Brabantse Vee-enVleescentrale van de Noord-Brabantse christelijke Boerenbond BZ v VanBoxmeer).
