Vinene produceres især i regionen »Cava«. Siden 1924 har virksomheden været indehaver af et spansk ordvaremærke »Gran crémant«, som den bruger til at betegne en af sine »Cava«-m.k.v.b.d.
It merely pointed out that the option available to Member States under that provision constituted a derogation from a common measure designed to achieve one of the fundamental objectives of the Treaty, namely the removal of all obstacles to the free move­ment of goods between Member States.
Den er desuden Fællesskabets største producent af m.k.v.b.d. med et årligt salg på 11 mio. flasker med betegnelsen »Gran crémant«.
It was therefore for the Commission, subject to review by the Court, to satisfy itself that all the condi­tions for a Member State to avail itself of that derogation were fulfilled and, in particular, to establish whether the national provisions in question were justified in the light of the basic conditions expressly laid down in the first and second subparagraphs of Article 100a(4).
Den har udelukkende fastslået, at den mulighed, som medlemsstaterne har ifølge denne bestemmelse, er en undtagelse fra en feelles foranstaltning, hvis sigte er gennemførelsen af et af traktatens væsentligste mål, nemlig fjernelse af alle hindring er for varers fri bevægeligheei mellem medlemsstaterne.
As regards the procedure for giving effect to Article 100a(4), the judgment makes it very clear that Member States are not at liberty to apply national provisions derogating from the harmonized rules without first having them con­firmed by the Commission nor to apply provi­sions notified by them until they have obtained from the Commission a decision confirming them.
Med hensyn til gennemførelsen af artikel 100A, stk. 4. anføres det helt klart i dommen, at en medlemsstat ikke kan anvende en national lovgivning, der afviger fra harmoniserede regler, uden at heive ejpnået Kommissionens godkendelse og videre derfor først kan anvende de nationale regler, som den har givet meddelelse om, efter at have opnået Kommissionens tiltrædelsesbeslutning.
In this matter the Court agreed with the opinion of the Advocate­General, who held that the pri­macy of Community law would be challenged if a Member State intending to avail itself of Arti­cle 100a(4) could apply its own national rules after harmonized Community measures had come into force but before a Commission deci­sion had been taken; a Member State doing so would be in breach of the law.
Under hensyn til realiteten annullerede Domstolen den pågældende bestemmelse, fordi den uden objektiv begrundelse behandler m.k.v.b.d. produceret i Frankrig og Luxembourg og tilsvarende vine produceret af Codorniu forskelligt.
The Court annulled the Commission decision of 2 December 1992, based on Article 100a(4) of the EC Treaty, confirming the German rules prohibiting PCP, these rules being at odds with the provisions of Directive 91/173/EEC. The Court held that the Commission had confined
Desuden kan kriteriet om geografisk tilknytning ikke tages i betragtning, fordi betegnelsen »crément« væsentligst tildeles som følge af produktionsmetoden.
Description of sparkling wines ­for the use of the term 'crémant'.
Således fandt Domstolen, at ifølge dens hidtidige retspraksis medfører overdragelse af et mærke i et EF-land ikke, at overdrageren mister sine rettigheder.
Codorniu SA is a Spanish company manufactur­ing and marketing quality sparkling wines pro­duced in specified regions, including the Cava region.
Domstolen begrundede sin afgørelse med, at mærkerettigheder er nationale uafhængige rettigheder.
Since 1924 it has been the holder of the Spanish graphic trade mark 'Gran Cremant', which it uses to designate one of its Cava wines.
Den understregede, at det i givet fald er op til Fællesskabets lovgivere at fjerne de deraf følgende hindringer for den fri varebevægelighed. gelighed.
Codorniu is the main Community producer of Cava, selling each year 11 million bottles of wine described as 'Gran Cremant'.
Disse sager vedrørte det spørgsmål, om Italiens lovgivning, hvorefter forretningerne skulle være fuldstændig lukket på søn- og helligdage, var forenelig med fællesskabsbestemmelserne om varers fri bevægelighed.
The company had brought before the Court an action for the annulment of the provision of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2045/89 which restricts the use of the term 'crémant' to quality sparkling wines produced in specified regions of France or Luxembourg.
Efter Domstolens traditionelle retspraksis (Torfaen, Stoke-on-Trent) skulle artikel 30 i princippet have gyldighed for en sådan foranstaltning, selv om denne gyldighed i de pågældende tilfælde blev begrundet med, at der var et uomgængeligt krav.
On the substance, the Court declared the provi­sion challenged void on the ground that it treated differently the comparable situations of quality sparkling wines produced in France or Luxembourg and those produced by Codorniu, with no objective justification for such treat­ment.
Imidlertid finder Domstolen på baggrund af det ændrede retsprincip, der blev indført med »Keck og Mithouard«-dommen, at nationale bestemmelser om handel falder uden for artikel 30's anvendelsesområde, hvis de anvendes generelt og ikke medfører forskelsbehandling.
In particular, the reservation of the term 'crémant' for wines manufactured in France and Luxembourg could not validly be justified on the basis of traditional use, since it disregarded the traditional use of the mark by Codorniu. Geographical criteria could not be taken into consideration since, according to the contested provision itself, the term 'crémant' referred pri­marily to the method of manufacture.
Domstolens præsident har afvist Kommissionens begæring om, at der træffes foreløbige forholdsregler med henblik på udsættelse af retsvirkningerne af beslutningen om tildeling af en offentlig kontrakt til selskabet Espace mobile international SA om levering af busser til Société régionale wallonne de transport.
The Court held, in line with its judgment in HAG II (where two trade marks shared a com­mon origin but were owned by separate oper­ators following sequestration by the govern­ment), that the assignor could obtain an injunction against the importation of the assig­nee's products into those territories where the assignor had retained the mark, since a contract of assignment did not give the assignor any means of controlling the quality of products marketed by the assignee (an essential function of a trade mark is to identify the origin of the goods).

Domstolen bestemte i analogi med Hag II-dommen (hvor de to mærker ligeledes havde samme oprindelse, men tilhørte to af hinanden efter en beslaglæggelse uafhængige virksomheder), at den oprindelige indehaver kunne modsætte sig import af de

Disse betingelser skal være opfyldt for, at udbyderen, hvis han beslutter at fortsætte udbudsproceduren, gør det på eget ansvar og for egen risiko.
The Court held that the conditions with regard to urgency and the balance of interests, which must be met by any application for interim measures, had not been satisfied.
begrundet i nationalitet, også selv om de øvrige medlemsstaters statsborgere på samme betingelser som landets egne kan få deres skibe registreret i den pågældende medlemsstat og visse nationale redere eventuelt driver skibe, der ikke er registreret i denne stat.
D discrimination based on the flag flown by vessels constitutes indirect discrimination on grounds of nationality, even if nationals of other Member States may use the flag in the same way as nationals and even if certain national traders may operate vessels not registered in their State.
Præsidenten fandt med hensyn til interesseafvejningen, der kunne tale for bevilling af de begærede retsbevarende foranstaltninger, at da Belgien har undladt at træffe forholdsregler for at varetage sikkerheden for Société Régionale Wallonne de Transpon 's kunder og personelle saml andre trafikanter, tilkommer det ikke /' det foreliggende tilfcelde under hensyn til risike > ens størrelse dommeren at øge denne risiko ved at afsige en kendelse om, at udbudsproceduren skal suspenderes.
As regards urgency, which must be assessed in terms of the need for interim measures to pre­vent serious and irreparable damage to the appli­cant, the Commission, by failing to inform the Member State concerned quickly and unambig­uously (when sending the initial letter of formal notice) that it intended to seek suspension of the contract, had not displayed the diligence to be expected of a party which subsequently brought proceedings for interim measures. Only if so informed would the Member State proceed at its own risk with the award of the contract.
Domstolen fandt i øvrigt, at det ifølge konkurren cereglerne (artikel 90, stk. 1, og artikel 86 i EF-traktaten) er forbudt en national myndighed at tillade, at en virksomhed med eneret til at tilbyde lodstjenester i en vigtig del af fællesmarkedet kræver forskellige priser af søtransportvirksomheder, afhængigt af om de udfører transport mellem medlemsstater eller mellem havne beliggende på medlemsstatens område, for så vidt det berører samhandelen mellem medlemsstaterne.
The Court also held that the rules of competition (Articles 90(1) and 86 of the EEC Treaty) pro­hibited a national authority from enabling an un­dertaking which has been granted the exclusive right to provide piloting services in a substantial part of the common market to apply different tariffs to maritime transport undertakings, de­pending on whether they operate services be­tween Member States or between ports situated on national territory, in so far as trade between Member States is affected.
Domstolen slog følgende fast:
The Court ruled:
D Den virksomhed, der har et lovligt monopol i en væsentlig del af fællesmarkedet, anses for at indtage en dominerende stilling på markedet
□ that an undertaking which has a legal monop­oly in a substantial part of the common market may be regarded as occupying a dominant posi­tion; and
D Denne væsentlige (på grund af den betydelige havnetrafik og havnens vigtighed for Italiens sam lede import og eksport) del af fællesmarkedet er i det foreliggende tilfælde lodsydelser i Genovas havn.

D Domstolen bekræfter, at »fri udveksling af tjenesteydelser«,jf. traktatens artikel 59,også gælder for transportsektoren (jf. dom af 22. maj 1985, Parlamentet mod Rådet, 13/83, Samling 1985, s. 1513);
The Court held that it was contrary to the princi­ple of non­discrimination in maritime transport, as laid down in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 4055/86, that different tariffs should apply in a Member State to identical piloting services, depending on whether or not the undertaking providing services between two Member States was operating a vessel authorized to engage in maritime cabotage (which was reserved to ves­sels flying the flag of that State).

Dom af 13. april 1994, de forenede sager C-324 og 342/90, Tyskland og Pieuger Worthington GmbH mod Kommissionen - statsstøtte -beslutning om støtte ydet af Hansestadt Hamburg -Tilbagebetaling.
Judgment of 13 April, Joined Cases C­324/90 and C­342/90 Germany and Pleuger Worthington ν Commission — State aid — Decision on aid granted by the City of Hamburg — Repayment.
D Ifølge traktatens artikel 85 er langvarige eksklusive købsklausuler konkurrencebegrænsende (det nationale marked lukkes) og påvirker i væsentlig grad samhandelen mellem medlemsstaterne på grund af den kumulative virkning af, at der findes et stort antal lignende aftaler på hele medlemsstatens område.
The contested Commission decision related to the repayment of aid granted by the City of Hamburg and held to be unlawful, since it was granted in breach of Article 93(3), and incom­patible with the common market.
I den anfægtede beslutning krævede Kommissionen, at Hamburg skulle foretage tilbagebetaling for et »støtteprogram«, der betragtedes som ulovligt, fordi støtten var ydet i modstrid med artikel 93, stk. 3 og uforenelig med fællesmarkedet.
□ that, in the light of Article 85, the exclusive long­term purchasing clause had a restrictive effect on competition (compartmentalizing the national market) and a considerable impact on trade between Member States, given the cumu­lative effect of numerous such agreements cov­ering the entire territory of a Member State;
D Eksklusive købs- og salgsklausuler falder også under traktatens artikel 86, såfremt der foreligger kollektiv dominerende stilling, dvs. at de pågældende virksomheder er sluttet så tæt sammen, at de samordner deres adfærd på markedet. Dette punkt skal undersøges af den nationale domstol.
Defending the fragmentary evidence on which it had based its decision, the Commission drew attention to the failure to notify the aid scheme and to the conduct of the German Government, which had provided extremely incomplete infor­mation.
Kommissionen påberåbte sig, at den havde truffet sin beslutning på et utilstrækkeligt grundlag, fordi den ikke havde fået meddelelse om støtten, da de tyske myndigheder kun havde opfyldt deres informationspligt meget mangelfuldt.
□ that the imposition of exclusive purchasing and selling clauses was also likely to be caught by Article 86 if the links between the companies belonging to the group in question were so strong that they adopted the same market con­duct and in effect exercised joint dominance; this was a matter for the national court.
Dommen påkalder sig imidlertid især interesse på baggrund af traktatens artikel 90, stk. 2, dvs. spørgsmålet om, i hvilket omfang en fravigelse af forbuddet er tilladt.
The Court's ruling was particularly interesting on the question of the application of Article 90(2) of the Treaty and possible exemption from the competition rules.
Domstolen henviste i den forbindelse til Corbeaudommen (dom af 19. maj 1993, C-320/91, Samling 1993, s. 1-2563), hvori den fandt, at postvæsener, der er betroet opgaver af almen økonomisk interesse, kan falde uden for traktatens konkurrenceregler, når konkurrencebegrænsninger eller endog udelukkelse af konkurrence er nødvendig for, at de kan udføre disse særlig opgaver.
The Court rejected this argument, clearly restat­ing the consequences which, in its view, should flow from any non­compliance by a Member State with its obligation to notify aid under Arti­cle 93(3) of the Treaty, as set forth in Boussac (Case C­301/87 France ν Commission [1990] ECR 1­307): if no notification has been received, the Commission may 'after giving the Member State in question an opportunity to submit its comments, issue an interim decision requiring it to suspend immediately the payment of such aid pending the outcome of the examination of the aid and to provide the Commission, within such period as the latter may specify, with all such documentation, information and data as are nec­essary in order that it may examine the compat­ibility of the aid with the common market ....
Domstolen erkendte endvidere, at eldistributionsselskeiber, både regionale og lokale, er betroet almennyttige opgaver, idet de til enhver tid, til ensartede priser og i de ønskede mængder skal sørge for en uafbrudt elforsyning til hele koncessionsområdet, dvs. til samtlige forbrugere og lokale distributører, på vilkår, der kun kan variere efter objektive kriterier, der gælder for alle kunder.
However, if the Member State, notwithstanding the Commission's order, fails to provide that information, the Commission is empowered to terminate the procedure and makes it decision, on the basis of the information available to it, on the question whether or not the aid is compatible with the common market.'
Domstolen afviste imidlertid denne argumentation og gjorde klart opmærksom på, hvilke konsekvenser den mener det skal have, hvis medlemsstaterne ikke overholder deres meddelelsespligt i henhold til traktatens artikel 93, stk. 3, jf. dom nr. C301/87, Frankrig mod Kommissionen, »Boussac« (Samling 1990, s. 1-307): Kommissionen kan, »efter at have givet vedkommende medlemsstat lejlighed til at fremsætte sine bemærkninger, ved en midlertidig beslutning, indtil resultatet af under søgelsen af støtteforanstaltningen foreligger, på lægge medlemsstaten straks at suspendere udbetalingen af støtten og inden en vis frist give Kommissionen adgang til al den dokumentation og alle ele oplysninger, der er nødvendige for at afgøre, om støtten er forenelig med feellesmarkedet. Undlader medlemsstaten derimod trods Kommissionens på bud eit give disse oplysninger, er Kommissionen beføjet til at afslutte proceduren og vedtage den beslutning, hvori det konstateres, at støtteforanstaltningen på grundlag af de oplysninger, den råder over, er forenelig elle uforenelig med fællesmarkedet«. smarkedet«.
Recalling its judgment in Corbeau (Case C­320/91 [1993] ECR 1­2563), in which it had held with regard to postal services that under­takings entrusted with services of general econo­mic interest might be exempted from the Treaty's rules on competition provided that re­strictions on competition, and even the exclu­sion of any competition from other economic operators, were necessary to enable the under­takings concerned to perform their particular task, the Court acknowledged that the public­service task of an electricity supply company, even if regional and with a non­exclusive con­cession, was essentially to ensure that all con­sumers, whether local distributors or end­users, received uninterrupted supplies of electricity in sufficient quantities to meet demand at any given time, at uniform rates and on terms which should not vary save in accordance with objective criteria applicable to all customers.
I den foreliggende sag, hvor Kommissionen ikke har udstedt påbud, kunne den dog ikke, uden at
The Court pointed out that in this context the economic conditions in which the undertaking

Community lawcourts the Commission could not conclude from the failure to notify the aid scheme that it was incompatible with the common market.
I det foreliggende tilfælde havde Kommissionen således kun bekræftet mødeprotokollen for det møde, hvorunder beslutningen var blevet vedtaget.

Yderligere udtalte Domstolen sig om anvendelsen af delegationsproceduren og påpegede, at den kun kan anvendes ved forvaltningsforanstaltninger.
The Court also gave its views on the use of the delegation procedure, restating its position that powers may be delegated only for straightfor­ward management measures and not, therefore, for decisions on a breach of Article 85.
Herved udelukkes beslutninger truffet i medfør af artikel 85.1 samme forbindelse fremhævede den, at det er væsentligt, at Kommissionen i sin beslutningstagning overholder kollegialitetsprincippet.

The Court held that Articles 4(d), 65 and 66 of the ECSC Treaty (restrictive agreements and mergers) did not confer rights directly enforce­able by private parties in proceedings before national courts.
