In the contested 1991 decision the Commission found that the despatch of the circular of 9 May 1989 by Peugeot to its dealers in France, Belgium and Luxembourg and its implementation by them, which brought to a halt supplies of Peugeot vehicles to Eco System, constituted an agreement or at least a concerted practice prohibited by Article 85(1) of the EEC Treaty.

Ved appelskrift indleveret den 22. juni 1993 havde Automobiles Peugeot SA og Peugeot SA iværksat appel til prøvelse af dommen af 22. april 1993 (sag T-9/92), hvorved Retten i Første Instans frifandt Kommissionen i et af appellanterne anlagt annullationssøgsmål til prøvelse af Kommissionens beslutning af 4. december 1991 om en procedure i henhold til EØF-traktatens artikel 85.
stated that 'the agreement in question, as it results from the said circular, does not qualify for the block exemption provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 123/TS5, since the clauses prohibiting the import or export of cars are not included in the competition-restricting obligations allowed by the regulation', nor could the agreement qualify for individual exemption, primarily because it had not been notified.
Peugeot's net i de pågældende lande, har til formål at hindre og i praksis stort set effektivt hindrer indførsel til Frankrig af nye biler af mærket Peugeot, der er indkøbt i Belgien og Luxembourg af franske brugere, der anvender Eco System.
Peugeot was wrong to criticize the contested judgment on the ground that it failed to take into consideration the 1984 notice, since the Court of First Instance expressly referred to it in defining the concept of intermediary in Article 3(11) of Regulation No 123/85.
Appellanterne havde i det væsentlige for Retten gjort gældende:
Peugeot claimed in substance that:
Om sagens faktiske omstændigheder bemærkes følgende. Som led i beskyttelsen af selskabets salgsnet, der uomtvistet var omfattet af Kommissionens forordning (EØF) nr. 123/85 af 12. december 1984 om anvendelse af traktatens artikel 85, stk. 3, på kategorier af salgs- og serviceaftaler vedrørende motorkøretøjer, udsendte Automobiles Peugeot SA den 9. maj 1989 gennem sine datterselskaber en rundskrivelse fra Peugeot SA til samtlige medlemmer af Peugeot-salgsnettet i Belgien, Frankrig og Luxembourg, hvori de autoriserede forhandlere og videreforhandlere i disse tre lande blev instrueret om at indstille deres leverancer til Eco System og om ikke længere at tage imod ordrer på nye køretøjer af mærket Peugeot fra dette selskab, hvad enten det handlede for egen regning eller for fuldmagtgiveres regning. Det understregedes i rundskrivelsen, at disse instrukser gjaldt for ethvert organ, som måtte handle på lignende vilkår.
In reply to the argument that in the 1991 decision the Commission departed from its own interpretation of Article 3(11) of Regulation No 123/84, as set out in the 1984 notice, the Court of First Instance observed that the phrase 'activity equivalent to that of a reseller' within the meaning of that notice could not be interpreted in such a way as to restrict the scope of the concept of intermediary with prior written authority in Article 3(11) of Regulation No 123/85.
Udkastet til rundskrivelsen var den 25. april 1989 blevet meddelt Kommissionens Generaldirektorat for Konkurrence, men var ikke blevet formelt anmeldt.
It is on the basis of that restrictive interpretation of Article 3(11) of Regulation No 123/85 that the applicants sent to the dealers in the Peugeot network the circular of 9 May 1989, which was intended to protect their selective distribution system from Eco Systemcarrying on an activity equivalent to that of a reseller.
Kommissionen anførte i sin meddelelse af 12. december 1984 vedrørende forordning nr. 123/85, at »virksomhederne i salgsnettet [kan] forpligtes til ikke at sælge nye motorkøretøjer [omfattet af aftaleprogrammet] til eller gennem tredjemand, så længe denne optræder som autoriseret videreforhandler af nye motorkøretøjer i aftaleprogrammet eller udøver aktiviteter, der kan ligestilles med videresalg«.
As the Court of First Instance emphasized, the 1991 decision could not legally be based on the 1991 notice. Moreover, as the Court of First Instance also held, since 1987 the Commission had informed Peugeot of its interpretation of the phrase 'activity equivalent to that of a reseller' within the meaning of the 1984 notice, which it applied in defining the concept of intermediary in Article 3(11) of Regulation No 123/85, and it had not departed from that interpretation in the 1991 decision.
Det var på grundlag denne indskrænkende fortolkning af artikel 3, nr. 11, i forordning nr. 123/85, at appellanterne til de autoriserede forhandlere inden for Peugeot-salgsnettet udsendte rundskrivelsen af 9. maj 1989, som havde til formål at beskytte appellanternes selektive salgssystem mod de aktiviteter, der kunne ligestilles med videresalg, som Eco System udøvede.
In order to justify the difference between the contested decision and the interpretation which the Commission had itself given to Article 3(11) of Regulation No 123/85 in the 1984 notice, the Commission intended to adopt on 4 December 1991, that is to say on the same date as that of the contested decision, a new notice interpreting Regulation No 123/85.
Begrebet aktiviteter, der kan ligestilles med videresalg, er ikke et retligt begreb, men sigter til udøvelse af en virksomhed, der økonomisk set har de samme følger som videresalg.
That notice, by setting forth new criteria defining the concept of intermediary, had deprived the phrase "activity equivalent to that of a reseller" of any meaning.
I den anfægtede beslutning af 4. december 1991 fastslog Kommissionen, at Peugeot's udsendelse af rundskrivelsen af 9. maj 1989 til de autoriserede Peugeotforhandlere i Frankrig, Belgien og Luxembourg og disses anvendelse heraf med det resultat, at leverancerne af køretøjer af mærket Peugeot til Eco System ophørte, udgjorde en aftale eller i hvert fald en samordnet praksis, der var i strid med forbuddet i EØF-traktatens artikel 85, stk. 1.
In its second plea Peugeot claimed that the Court of First Instance misinterpreted the concept of intermediary within the meaning of Article 3(11) of Regulation No 123/85.
Som begrundelse herfor anførtes det i beslutningen navnlig: «Ovennævnte aftale har til formål og til følge at begrænse konkurrencen inden for fællesmarkedet i den betydning, hvori dette udtryk anvendes i artikel 85, stk. 1, idet aftalen, [der] er iværksat af alle virksomhederne i
The first plea was based on the failure by the Court of First Instance to take into account the 1984 notice and, consequently, to recognize that the Commission infringed the principle of legal
14- virksomhed som Eco System, der præsterer tjenesteydelser.
authorizations received by a professional intermediary was not the sole factor determining the change in the nature of the intermediary's involvement.
For at skabe en begrundelse for forskellen mellem den anfægtede beslutning og den fortolkning af artikel 3, nr. 11, i forordning nr. 123/85, som den selv havde anlagt i meddelelsen af 12. december 1984, ville Kommissionen den 4. december 1991, dvs. samme dag, som den anfægtede beslutning blev truffet, fremsætte en ny meddelelse om fortolkningen af forordning nr. 123/85.
the Court of First Instance preferred a legal definition of intermediary, based on the formal existence of authorization, to an economic definition based on the effect of the intermediary's activity on the distribution system.
I denne meddelelse blev der fastlagt nye kriterier for definitionen af begrebet mellemhandler, hvorved begrebet aktiviteter, der kan ligestilles med videresalg, mistede enhver betydning.
In that respect the Court of First Instance was right in pointing out that the existence of a written authorization is the only condition which, according to the actual wording of Article 3(11) of Regulation No 123/85, a person must satisfy in order to be characterized as an intermediary.
Det første anbringende til støtte for appellen
Consequently, the plea was inadmissible in that respect.
Det måtte herefter lægges til grund, at det var med føje, at Retten havde antaget, at Kommissionen ikke tilsidesatte retssikkerhedsprincippet.
Furthermore, the Court of First Instance had not confined itself to making that finding, but proceeded to carry out a thorough analysis of the circumstances in which Eco System's activities took place, and concluded that they were not equivalent to those of a reseller.
Som fremhævet af Retten kunne den anfægtede beslutning ikke lovligt træffes på grundlag af meddelelsen af 4. december 1991.
In so doing, the Court did not exceed the bounds of its power to assess the facts or wrongly characterize in law the concept of intermediary with written authority set out in Article 3(11) of Regulation No 123/85.
Således som Retten ligeledes havde bemærket, gjaldt det endvidere, at Kommissionen allerede i 1987 gav appellanterne meddelelse om den fortolkning af begrebet aktiviteter, der kan ligestilles med videresalg, jf. meddelelsen af 12. december 1984, som Kommissionen anlagde med henblik på definitionen af begrebet mellemhandler i artikel 3, nr. 11, i forordning nr. 123/85, og at Kommissionen ikke fraveg denne fortolkning i den anfægtede beslutning.
As to the argument concerning the alleged failure to take into account the Binon judgment, cited above, the Court pointed out that the Court of First Instance was right in holding that that judgment, which concerns the application of Article 85 of the Treaty to relations between an undertaking and a commercial agent, did not apply to the case of an agent acting on behalf of a final consumer and that the number of
Dette led af anbringendet kunne derfor ikke tages i betragtning.

— beslutningen annulleres delvis, for så vidt Kommissionen har godkendt den forpligtelse til inden den 30. juni 1994 at ændre Potacan's struktur, som Kali und Salz AG (herefter benævnt »K+S«) i henhold til 65. betragtning har påtaget sig.

The derogation provided for in Regulation 26/62 does not apply to those products, such as fertilisers and plant protection products, which are not listed in Annex II to the Treaty.
Retten fandt, at de oplysninger, parterne havde fremlagt, umiddelbart viste, at K+S' og det fælles selskabs udtræden af Kali-Export, hvilket Kommissionen havde gjort til en betingelse for at erklære fusionen forenelig med det fælles marked, i praksis fører til, at Kali-Export opløses, idet de øvrige anpartshavere ikke reelt har mulighed for at undgå en sådan opløsning, når de to hovedanpartshavere udtræder.

Retlige bemærkninger
He proposed that the Court should:
Retten bemærkede i denne forbindelse, at selv om det er korrekt, at det er Kali-Export's vedtægter, der i sig selv fører til denne situation, var selskaberne imidlertid ved beslutningen blevet pålagt at overholde denne betingelse.

Spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt og i hvilket omfang den forpligtelse, K+S og det fælles sebkab har påtaget sig til at træde ud af Kali-Export, indebærer, at dette sebkab opløses
Subject to the findings which are for the national court to make according to the criteria laid down in this Opinion, the clause contained in the rules of a cooperative agricultural society which makes joint purchases of raw products for agricultural purposes, by virtue of which may be excluded members of the society who, in view of the purchase of the products in question, belong for any length of time to organizations which compete with the cooperative, does not have as its object or effect the prevention restriction or distortion of competition within the meaning of Article 85(1) of the Treaty.
Ifølge Kommissionen indebar K+S' og det fælles selskabs udtræden af Kali-Export ikke i sig selv, at selskabet opløses. Efter Kommissionens opfattelse er det de øvrige selskabsdeltagere, herunder sagsøgerne, som kan bestemme selskabets fremtid, idet de har mulighed for at sikre, at selskabet ikke opløses.
The condition implying that trade between Member States is affected, within the meaning of Article 85(1) is met in a case such as that of the main proceedings where it is established fact that the products in question are the subject of intra-Community trade and that the undertakings in question may and do participate in that trade.
Retten bemærkede indledningsvis, at selv om det fremgår af artikel XII, stk. 1, i Kali-Export's vedtægter, at selskabet opløses, såfremt en af anpartshaverne fremsætter krav herom, følger det
