5) Fællesskabsretten er ikke til hinder for, at den nationale forældelsesfrist, der gælder foret krav om tilbagebetaling af afgifter, der er opkrævet i strid med traktatens artikel 95 eller med en bestemmelse svarende til artikel
If the proceeds of the duty have been allocated to independent operators subject to local authority control, it is not contrary to Commu­nity law for the action for repayment of those duties to lie against such operators, provided the rules govern­ing such actions are not less favourable than those governing similar domestic actions and are not so framed as to render virtually impossible or exces­sively difficult the recovery of duty unduly paid.
Det tilkommer den end videre at undersøge, om den omstændighed, at den of fentlige virksomheds egne samt — på grundlag af gensidighed — visse af dens samarbejdspartneres færgeruter er fritaget for afgifter, faktisk indebærer anvendelse af ulige vilkår for ydelser af samme værdi.

I det foreliggende tilfælde havde Kommissionen udarbejdet en rapport om de omstændigheder, hvorunder fiskeriprodukter bestemt for eksport til EU produceres og eksporteres i Japan. Rapporten konkluderede, at disse omstændigheder kunne medføre risiko for folkesundheden.
An importer based in the Netherlands had applied to a Dutch court for interim relief from the import ban in respect of those products which it itself imported and which originated in Japanese establishments that presented no health risk.
Som følge heraf havde Kommissionen vedtaget en beslutning om forbud mod import af fiskeriprodukter med op rindelse i Japan.
The Dutch court had asked for a prelimina­ry ruling on the validity of the Commission decision.

I det foreliggende tilfælde havde Kommissionen truffet en beslutning, som pålagde en række producenter af papirmasse bøder på grund af overtrædelser af traktatens artikel 85.
In this particular case, the Commission had taken a decision imposing fines on several wood-pulp producers for infringements of Article 85 of the Treaty.
En række af disse virksomheder, men ikke alle, havde anmodet om an nulation af beslutningen.
All the companies concerned had paid their fines, but some had brought actions for annulment of the Commission decision.
Som følge heraf havde Kommissionen tilbagebetalt bødebeløbet til de virksomheder, som havde anmodet om annullation af beslutningen, men ikke til de øvrige.
The Court of Justice had found in their favour, hold­ing that the Commission had not established that an infringement had in fact been committed.
Herefter anmodede sidst nævnte virksomheder Kommissionen om ligeledes at modtage tilbagebetaling.
The Commission had consequently refunded the fines to the companies which had brought an action for annulment but not to the others, which had then asked the Commission to refund the fines they had paid also.
Kommissionen nægtede dette under henvisning til, at beslutningen om pålæggelse af bøder var blevet endelig i forhold til de virksomheder, som ikke havde begæret annullation af beslutningen, eftersom en annullationsdom kun havde virkning for de parter, som havde anmodet om annullationen.
The Commission had refused to do so on the grounds that the decision imposing the fines was now final as far as those companies which had not brought an action for annulment were concerned, since the Court's judgment applied only to the parties which had instituted proceedings.
Med denne dom fastslog Domstolen, at direktiv 89/552/EØF om »tv uden grænser« ikke hjemler, at en medlemsstat på tv-udsendelser fra andre med lemsstater anvender en bestemmelse i en national lovgivning, som forbyder transmission af tv-reklame, der er rettet mod børn på under tolv år.
The Court held that Directive 89/552/EEC (the 'television without frontiers' directive) pre­cluded a Member State from applying to televi­sion broadcasts from other Member States a pro­vision of domestic broadcasting law prohibiting the transmission of television advertising directed at children under the age of 12.
Derimod fandt Domstolen, at direktiv 89/552/EØF ikke er til hinder for, at en medlemsstat — i hen hold til en generel lovgivning om beskyttelse af forbrugerne mod vildledende reklame — anvender foranstaltninger over for en annoncør på grund af tv-reklame udsendt fra en anden medlemsstat, for udsat at disse foranstaltninger ikke rent faktisk for hindrer transmission til medlemsstatens område af udsendelser fra den anden medlemsstat.
On the other hand, it also found that Directive 89/552/EEC did not preclude a Member State from taking measures, pursuant to general legis­lation for the protection of consumers against misleading advertising, against an advertiser in relation to television advertisements broadcast from another Member State, provided the mea­sures did not prevent the retransmission, as such, in its territory of television broadcasts coming from the other Member State.
Retten annullerede Kommissionens beslutning om ikke at tilbagebetale bøderne til de virksomheder, som ikke havde anmodet om annullation af beslut ningen om pålæggelse af bøder.
The Court of First Instance annulled the decision whereby the Commission had refused to refund fines to the companies which had not brought proceedings for annulment.
Den fandt, at traktatens artikel 176, som pålægger en institution, der har udstedt en retsakt, som er annulleret ved en dom, at træffe foranstaltninger til gennemførelse af dommen, medfører, at Kommissionen skal under søge, om den bør træffe foranstaltninger til gen nemførelse af annullationsdommen over for samt lige adressater for den annullerede retsakt, hvad enten disse har deltaget i annullationssøgsmålet el ler ej.
It held that Article 176 of the Treaty, which requires the institution whose act has been declared void by a judgment of the Court to take the necessary measures to comply with that judgment, placed an obligation on the Commission to consider whether it had to take the measures necessary for implementation of the judgment and withdraw the decision in re­spect of all addressees, whether or not they had brought proceedings for annulment.
Retten fastslog, at når en dom fra Domstolen medfører, at en konstatering af en overtrædelse af traktatens artikel 85 bortfalder, fordi den ulovlige praksis ikke er påvist, ville det være i strid med le galitetsprincippet, såfremt Kommissionen ikke havde pligt til at undersøge sin oprindelige beslut ning i forhold til en anden part, dvs. en beslutning, som er truffet på samme faktiske grundlag.
The Court pointed out that where the effect of a judgment was to set aside a finding that Article 85 of the Treaty had been infringed, on the ground that the prohibited practice had not been proved, it would be inconsistent with the principle of legality for the Commission not to be obliged to examine its original decision in relation to an­other party to the same practice, where the facts on which the decision had been based were identical.
Endelig understregede Retten, at Kommissionen bør undersøge retsstillingen for adressaterne for den annullerede retsakt, og der bør i denne forbin
Lastly, the Court emphasised that the Commis­sion must examine the position of the addressees
Med denne dom præciserede Domstolen sin retspraksis med hensyn til begrebet en »national ret«.
The Court clarified its views on the national courts or tribunals which could ask it for a pre­liminary ruling under Article 177 of the Treaty.
Retspraksis ved Domstolen og Retten i Første Instans der kan forelægge et spørgsmål for Domstolen til præjudiciel afgørelse i henhold til traktatens artikel 177.
Decisions by the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance whether its procedure was inter partes, whether it applied rules of law, and whether it was inde­pendent.
I det foreliggende tilfælde fandt Domstolen først, at Tysklands tilsynsmyndighed i licitationsspørgsmål var en »national ret« i den i traktatens artikel 177 omhandlede forstand.
In this particular case, it held that the Federal Public Procurement Awards Supervisory Board was indeed such a court within the meaning of Article 177.
Således havde Europa-Kommissionen under Domstolens behandling af sagen bestridt, at det pågældende organ kunne an ses for at være en »national ret«.
In the proceedings before the Court this had been contested by the European Com­mission.
Domstolen konkluderede, at Tysklands tilsynsmyndighed i licitationsspørgsmål opfyldte alle kriterier for at kunne betragtes som en »national ret« i den i traktatens artikel 177 omhandlede forstand.
In this particular case the Court concluded that the supervisory board in question did meet all the criteria to be considered a court within the meaning of Article 177.
Hvad angår kravet om, at der skal anvendes en kontradiktorisk sagsbehandling, mindede Domstolen om, at dette ikke er et absolut kriterium, og at den tyske kontrolprocedure for offentlige kontrakter indebærer, at tilsynsmyndigheden i alle tilfælde skal høre parterne, inden der træffes en beslutning.
As regards the require­ment that the procedure must be inter partes, the Court pointed out that this was not an absolute criterion and that in any case the German proce­dure for monitoring the award of public con­tracts required the supervisory board to hear the parties concerned before taking any decision.
I overensstemmelse med sin retspraksis undersøgte Domstolen samtlige de forhold, der efter dens op fattelse gør det muligt at fastslå, om et nationalt organ er en »national ret« i den i traktatens artikel 177 omhandlede forstand.
Basing itself on its own earlier rulings, the Court enumerated the criteria for determining whether a national body constituted a court within the meaning of Article 177: whether the body was established by law, whether it was permanent, whether its jurisdiction was compulsory,
