Spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt en sag i medfør af traktatens artikel 173, stk. 4, kan antages til realitetsbehandling, findes imidlertid ikke at kunne afhænge af parternes vilje.
The admissibility of an application under the fourth paragraph of Article 173 of the Treaty cannot, however, be made to depend on the intention of the parties.
Sagsøgerens argument kan derfor ikke tages til følge.
The applicant's argument must therefore be rejected.
Det fastslås i denne forbindelse, at der i fællesskabsretsakterne og i aftalerne mellem Fællesskabet og Den Russiske Føderation er foretaget en kompetencefordeling mellem Kommissionen og den institution, der er udpeget af Den Russiske Føderation til at indkøbe hvede.
The Community rules and the agreements concluded between the Community and the Russian Federation provide for a division of powers between the Commission and the agent appointed by the Russian Federation to arrange the purchase of wheat.

It is for that agent — in the present case, Exportkhleb — to select the other contracting party by means of an invitation to tender and to negotiate and conclude the contract.

Spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt påstanden om erstatning for ikke-økonomisk skade kan antages til realitetsbehandling
Admissibility of the claim for damages for nonmaterial loss
Kommissionen har i det væsentlige fremført tre argumenter for, at påstanden om erstatning for det påståede økonomiske tab, sagsøgeren har lidt som følge af beslutningen af 1. april 1993, ikke kan antages til realitetsbehandling.
The Commission advances, in essence, three arguments in support of its objection to the admissibility of the claim for damages for the loss allegedly suffered by the applicant as a result of the decision of 1 April 1993.
For det første har Kommissionen anført, at beslutningen er fuldt ud lovlig. Dernæst gør Kommissionen gældende, at den ikke kan holdes ansvarlig for Exportkhleb's eller VEB's misligholdelse af kontrakten, når den endnu ikke havde påtaget sig nogen forpligtelse. Endelig hævdes erstatningspåstanden i den foreliggende sag ikke at være af selvstændig karakter i forhold til annullationspåstanden. tanden.
First of all, that decision was perfectly legal; next, it cannot be held liable for a breach of contract by Exportkhleb or the VEB at a time when it had not yet entered into any commitment; and lastly, the claim for damages is not separate from the claim for annulment.
Kommissionen har ikke i sin formalitetsindsigelse nedlagt påstand vedrørende kravet om tilkendelse af 1 ECU for den ikke-økonomiske skade, sagsøgeren har gjort gældende at have lidt som følge af udtalelser fra generaldirektøren for GD VI om, at sagsøgeren medvirkede i en ulovlig fremgangsmåde ved forhandlingen af kontrakttillæggene i februar 1993.
In its objection of inadmissibility, the Commission does not make any submissions concerning the claim for the award of one ecu for the nonmaterial damage which the applicant claims to have suffered as a result of statements made by the Director General of DG VI to the effect that the applicant had engaged in unlawful practices at the time when the contract amendments were negotiated in February 1993.
Det bemærkes for det første, at argumentet om, at beslutningen er lovlig, og argumentet vedrørende misligholdelse af kontrakten fra én af de russiske kontrahenters side henhører under sagens realitet og ikke kan udgøre en afvisningsgrund.
The Court observes, first, that the arguments maintaining that the decision was legal and denying liability for breach of contract by one of the Russian parties go to the substance of the case and cannot constitute a ground of inadmissibility.
Det fastslås for det første, at erstatningspåstanden støttes på en påstået adfærd fra Kommissionens side, der er forskellig fra den retsakt, som der i øvrigt er nedlagt påstand om annullation af.
The Court finds, first, that the claim for damages is based on alleged conduct of the Commission which is distinct from the act that the applicant is seeking to have annulled.
Erstatningspåstanden kan derfor rent faktisk ikke tilsigte en ophævelse af denne retsakt.
In those circumstances, the claim for damages cannot be intended to achieve the withdrawal of that act.
Det bemærkes for det andet, at ifølge fast retspraksis er erstatningssøgsmålet indført som et selvstændigt retsmiddel med en særlig funktion i forhold til andre retsmidler.
Second, it is settled case-law that the action for damages was meant to be an autonomous form of action with a particular purpose to fulfil within the system of remedies provided for.
Det følger heraf, at afvisning af en sag for så vidt angår en påstand om annullation, i princippet ikke kan medføre, at sagen også skal afvises for så vidt angår en påstand om erstatning for et påstået tab.
It follows that, in principle, the inadmissibility of a claim for annulment cannot entail the inadmissibility of a claim for damages for alleged loss.
Det er imidlertid blevet fastslået, at afvisning af annullationssøgsmålet, som en undtagelse fra det ovenfor omhandlede princip, også medfører afvisning af erstatningssøgsmålet, såfremt der med erstatningssøgsmålet reelt tilsigtes en ophævelse af en individuel beslutning, der er blevet endelig, og søgsmålet således udgør en omgåelse af proceduren for annullationssøgsmål.
Second, the allegedly fresh nature of a claim cannot in itself constitute a ground of inadmissibility where the claim puts in issue the liability of the Community on account of alleged conduct on the part of the Commission or its officials. Similarly, the quantum of damages sought by the applicant cannot constitute a ground of inadmissibility but is connected to the assessment of the extent of the alleged damage.
Størrelsen af det erstatningsbeløb, som sagsøgeren har nedlagt påstand om, kan heller ikke udgøre en afvisningsgrund, men har sammenhæng med vurderingen af størrelsen af det påståede tab.
It has, however, been held, by way of exception to the principle stated above, that the inadmissibility of a claim for annulment renders a claim for damages inadmissible where the claim for damages is actually aimed at securing withdrawal of an individual decision which has

price, which was regarded as exceeding the acceptable level. The Commission stated in the same letter that it was prepared, in view of the seriousness of the food situation, to open the Community stocks for immediate delivery to Ukraine of 50 000 tonnes of wheat at a price which could be as much as US $30 per tonne lower than that proposed by the applicant.
Denne leverance blev udbudt i en ny licitation, som sagsøgeren vandt.
That delivery formed the subject of a fresh invitation to tender in which the applicant's tender was accepted.
Den 13. juli 1992 undertegnede Fællesskabet og Ukraine i overensstemmelse med forordning nr. 1897/92 et »Memorandum of Understanding« (herefter »rammeaftalen«), som skulle danne aftalegrundlaget for Det Europæiske Fællesskabs ydelse af det i afgørelse 91/658 omhandlede lån til Ukraine.
On 13 July 1992 the Community and Ukraine signed, pursuant to Regulation No 1897/92, a Memorandum of Understanding establishing the basis on which the Community was to grant to Ukraine the loan provided for by Decision 91/658.
Det bestemtes heri, at Fællesskabet som långiver skulle yde Ukraine som låntager et mellemfristet lån på 130 mio. ECU i hovedstol med en løbetid på højst tre år gennem Ukraines finansielle institution, State Export-Import Bank of Ukraine (herefter »SEIB«).
It was thereby provided that the Community, as lender, would grant to Ukraine, as borrower, through the intermediary of its financial agent, the State Export-Import Bank of Ukraine («the SEIB»), a medium-term loan of the principal sum of ECU 130 million for a maximum term of three years.
Den 11. juni 1993 gav Ukrimpex sagsøgeren meddelelse om Kommissionens afslag og anmodede sagsøgeren om at udsætte transporten afvaren.
On 11 June 1993 Ukrimpex informed the applicant of the Commission's refusal decision and requested it to defer the transportation of the goods.
Som svar herpå meddelte sagsøgeren, at sagsøgeren allerede havde chartret et skib.
The applicant replied that it had already chartered a vessel.
Derfor blev der leveret næsten 40 tons korn.
Thus nearly 40 tonnes of grain were in fact delivered.
Ligeledes den 13. juli 1992 undertegnede Kommissionen, Ukraine og Ukraines finansielle institution, SEIB, den i forordning nr. 1897/92 og rammeaftalen omhandlede låneaftale (herefter »låneaftalen«).
The Community, Ukraine and its financial agent, the SEIB, also signed on 13 July 1992 the loan agreement provided for by Regulation No 1897/92 and the Memorandum of Understanding (hereinafter «the loan agreement»).
Ved aftalen oprettes en lånefacilitet, der kan benyttes i en bestemt periode (20.8.1992-20.4.1993), og hvorefter der kan udbetales godkendte beløb til betaling af leverancer.
It establishes a facility to which recourse may be had during the drawing period (20 August 1992 to 20 April 1993), with a view to the advance of sums authorized for payment of the price of goods supplied.
Ved skrivelse af 12. juli 1993 rettet til SEIB og underskrevet af kommissionsmedlemmet, R. Steichen, meddelte Kommissionen officielt SEIB, at den afslog at godkende den kontrakt, der var blevet forelagt for den.
By letter of 12 July 1993 addressed to the SEIB and signed by the Commissioner, Mr R. Steichen, the Commission officially informed the SEIB of its refusal to approve the contract which had been submitted to it.
Han anførte som begrundelse for afslaget, at den i kontrakten aftalte pris lå langt over det niveau, som Kommissionen kunne acceptere, og at prisen var en af de betingelser for långivningen, der var opstillet i afgørelse 91/658 og i forordning nr. 1897/92.
He stated that the reason for that refusal was that the price agreed was well above the level that the Commission regarded as acceptable and that this was one of the conditions for the credit operation laid down Decision 91/658 and Regulation No 1897/92.
Sagsøgeren har herefter ved stævning indgivet til Retten den 10. september 1993 anlagt nærværende sag.
It was in those circumstances that, by application lodged at the Court of First Instance on 10 September 1993, the applicant brought the present action.
Efter en uformel licitation i maj 1993, der var iværksat med henblik på indkøb af hvede, modtog den organisation, der handlede på Ukraines vegne, Ukrimpex, syv tilbud, herunder et fra sagsøgeren.
In response to an informal invitation to tender issued in May 1993 for the purchase of wheat, Ukrimpex, an organization acting on behalf of Ukraine, received seven tenders, including that of the applicant.
Ukrimpex accepterede dette tilbud, som var det eneste, hvor der blev garanteret levering af hveden inden den 15. juni 1993, selv om det ikke prismæssigt var det laveste bud.
Ukrimpex accepted that tender, which was the only one guaranteeing delivery of the wheat by 15 June 1993, even though it was not the most advantageous in terms of price.
Ved kontrakten, der blev indgået den 26. maj 1993, forpligtede sagsøgeren sig til at levere 40 424 tons hvede til 137,47 ECU pr. ton, cif og free out — ukrainsk havn i Sortehavet med garanti om indlastning senest den 15. juni 1993.
Under the contract, which was concluded on 26 May 1993, the applicant undertook to supply 40 424 tonnes of wheat at a price of ECU 137.47 per tonne, CIF free out one safe Ukrainian Black Sea port, with guaranteed shipment by 15 June 1993.
Rettens bemærkninger
Findings of the Tribunal
Ifølge fast retspraksis kan der anlægges annullationssøgsmål til prøvelse af enhver af institutionerne vedtagen bestemmelse, som tilsigter at have retsvirkninger, uanset dens karakter eller form.
It is settled case-law that an action for annulment may be brought against all measures adopted by the institutions, whatever their nature or form, which are intended to have legal effects.
Da SEIB havde givet Kommissionen meddelelse om kontrakten og anmodet om godkendelse, og den ukrainske vicepremierminister, Demianov, personligt havde henvendt sig og presset på for, at kontrakten blev godkendt hurtigst muligt, meddelte Kommissionen i skrivelse af 10. juni 1993 rettet til vicepremierministeren, at den ikke kunne godkende den kontrakt, SEIB havde forelagt for Kommissionen.
Following notification of the contract by the SEIB to the Commission for approval by the latter, and after the personal intervention of Mr Demianov, Vice-Prime Minister of Ukraine, who requested approval of the contract with the minimum of delay, the Commission stated in a letter of 10 June 1993 addressed to Mr Demianov that it was unable to approve the contract submitted to it by the SEIB.

Det er således en retsakt, der kan gøres til genstand for retlig prøvelse i medfør af traktatens artikel 173, stk. 1.
Conversely, the SEIB does not have that right if the Commission refuses to issue a notice of confirmation.

Sagsøgeren, National Association of Licensed Opencast Operators (herefter »NALOO«), er en erhvervssammenslutning, der for tiden repræsenterer 16 private kuludvindingsvirksomheder, der er etableret i Det Forenede Kongerige, og som driver kulminer, hvoraf de fleste er åbne brud.
British Coal ensures the working of its opencast sites primarily by awarding their operation to licensees.
British Coal's åbne brud udnyttes hovedsagelig ved udlicitering til licenstagere.
British Coal is also empowered under section 36(2) of the CINA to grant licences for the extraction of coal to operators in the private sector, including NALOO members.
I medfør af CINA har British Coal ejendomsretten til næsten samtlige stenkulsreserver i Det Forenede Kongerige og har eneret med hensyn til forarbejdning og udvinding af kul.

the delivered licence, under which the licensee delivers to British Coal the coal extracted at a price per tonne negotiated and agreed with British Coal on a site-by-site basis.
Den 24. oktober 1990 fremsatte de britiske myndigheder på vegne af British Coal, National Power og PowerGen et tilbud til klagerne, hvis hovedpunkter var følgende:
British Coal has, since December 1990, withdrawn the option of delivered licences other than for operators with whom it had been negotiating this arrangement prior to that date.
Sagsøgeren beskylder British Coal for to former for konkurrencebegrænsende praksis: dels de urimeligt høje royaltysatser, som British Coal havde opkrævet af kul, der var udvundet i henhold til royaltylicenser, dels British Coal's urimeligt lave købspriser for kul, der var udvundet i åbne brud i henhold til royaltyfri licenser (herefter »British Coal's købspriser«).
They considered that the agreement was also contrary to Article 65 of the ECSC Treaty, or alternatively Article 85 of the EEC Treaty, in so far as it had the effect of foreclosing a preponderant part of the British market for electricity-generating coal to suppliers other than British Coal and allowing British Coal to obtain from the electricity generating companies prices and conditions for the sale of coal which discriminated against licensed producers.
