I forbindelse med gennemførelse af princippet om frie varebevægelser skal Fællesskabets institutioner bl.a. inddrage hensynet til beskyttelse af sundheden og menneskeliv, hvilket indebærer, at der i givet fald kan træffes egnede foranstaltninger med henblik på at sikre en hensigtsmæssig beskyttelse af folkesundheden.
Suffice it to observe that, as was stressed at the hearing, 97.9% of cases of BSE in Europe have been reported in the United Kingdom.
Beslutningen forekommer således efter sin genstand og formål at være i overensstemmelse med de omhandlede direktiver.
However, the principal cause of that damage remains uncertain and has not been shown to stem from Decision 96/239.
Det skal ikke på nuværende tidspunkt undersøges, om Kommissionen umiddelbart har overskredet sine beføjelser, fordi beslutningen ikke var nødvendig for at imødegå de risici, der er forbundet med BSE.
The drop in demand for beef was provoked, a week before that decision was adopted, by the announcement by SEAC, and by the United Kingdom Government itself, of a likely link between BSE and the variant of Creut/.feldt-Jakob disease.
Det er tilstrækkeligt at bemærke, at formålet med beslutningen er at sikre beskyttelsen af folkesundheden mod en alvorlig fare for dyr og menneskers sundhed, således som det kræves efter de relevante bestemmelser i de nævnte direktiver.
Decision 96/239 was, moreover, preceded by bans adopted by other Member States and a number of nonmember countries.
Når henses til det omfang, hvori der forekommer BSE i kvægbesætningerne i Det Forenede Kongerige, og til, at BSE muligvis kan overføres til mennesker, er det åbenbart, at sygdommen er forbundet med en alvorlig risiko, hvilket sagsøgerne i øvrigt ikke bestrider.
It cannot be held, at the present stage in the proceedings, that Decision 96/239 significantly magnified the damage caused by those measures or that, in the absence of such a decision, demand for United Kingdom beef would have recovered in the other Member States or in nonmember countries, given the media coverage of the issue and increasing health awareness among consumers.
Sagsøgerne bestrider kun, at Kommissionen har kompetence, fordi denne risiko ikke er ny, og der skulle derfor tidligere have været truffet passende beskyttelsesforanstaltninger, navnlig af Kommissionen. Denne argumentation, som snarere vedrører vurderingen af, om beslutningen
Fourthly, as regards the breach of the principle of proportionality, the ban has a legitimate aim the protection of health and, as a containment measure prior to eradication measures, it was essential to the achievement of that aim.
er lovlig, er næppe relevant ved vurderingen af Kommissionens beføjelser.
Court would still have to balance the applicant's interest in a suspension of the ban on exports of bovine animals, meat and derivatives against the interest of the other parties in having that ban maintained.
Med hensyn til det tredje anbringende vedrørende tilsidesættelse af proportionalitetsprincippet har sagsøgerne i det væsentlige anført, at beslutningen ikke er begrundet i, at der var konstateret en ny risiko ved BSE, som ikke allerede havde givet anledning til, at der i henhold til de relevante bestemmelser i direktiv 90/425 og 89/662 var truffet egnede foranstaltninger.
It is true that the foregoing analysis has shown that damage to commercial and social interests is likely to result from maintaining the export ban in force for the time being and that a part of such damage would not easily be reparable if the main action were to be upheld.
stort omfang, til, at der hurtigt måtte træffes en afgørelse, og til de mange aspekter, både af sundhedsmæssig, øko. omisk og samfundsmæssig betydning, der indgik i vurderingen, havde Kommissionen et vidt skøn til at træffe de egnede foranstaltninger, der var nødvendige, da den — i overensstemmelse med proceduren med høring af Den Stående Veterinærkomité og efter høring af de kompetente tekniske organer -handlede med henblik på at varetage det ansvar, den i henhold til de relevante bestemmelser i de nævnte direktiver har i forbindelse med beskyttelsen af folkesundheden.
That damage cannot, however, outweigh the serious harm to public health which is liable to be caused by suspension of the contested decision, and which could not be remedied if the main action were subsequently dismissed.
Denne argumentation er umiddelbart i modstrid med de omstændigheder, der ligger til grund for beslutningen, og navnlig indholdet af de oplysninger, Det Forenede Kongerige havde fremsendt til Kommissionen vedrørende vedtagelsen af de yderligere beskyttelsesforanstaltninger, Det Forenede Kongerige havde truffet (jf· ovenfor præmis 9,10 og 11).
Such a balancing of interests would, on any view, favour maintaining the Commission's decision, inasmuch as the interest in having the contested decision maintained is not readily comparable to the applicant's interest in having its operation suspended.
Når henses til omstændighederne i det foreliggende tilfælde, der er karakteriseret ved, at den »sandsynlige« risiko er alvorlig og har et
Case T-76/96 R The National Farmers' Union and Others ν Commission of the European Communities Agriculture
Hvad nærmere angår det forhold, at forbuddet omfatter al eksport af disse produkter til tredjelande, forekommer dette på nuværende tidspunkt ikke umiddelbart at være uforholdsmæssigt byrdefuldt i forhold til det formål vedrørende beskyttelse af folkesundheden, der forfølges med beslutningen, når henses til, at baggrunden herfor er et ønske om at sikre, at beskyttelsesforanstaltningerne får den tilsigtede virkning.

lodged at the Court on 25 May 1996 the applicants applied for the operation of that decision to be suspended.
Retten har derfor ikke et tilstrækkeligt grundlag for at vurdere de risici, som direkte er forbundet med beslutningen, eller i øvrigt for at tage stilling til, i hvilket omfang de af sagsøgerne anførte risici vil kunne undgås ved en udsættelse af gennemførelsen af beslutningen.
facie, wholly excluded, would be tantamount to prejudging the Court's decision on that application.
Det må i denne forbindelse understreges, at der i overensstemmelse med traktatens målsætning om et højt sundhedsbeskyttelsesniveau og fællesskabsrettens grundlæggende principper på dette område utvivlsomt må tillægges beskyttelsen af folkesundheden større vægt end økonomiske og forretningsmæssige interesser.
It is necessary, first of all, to consider whether the three pleas on which the applicants rely, alleging the Commission's lack of competence, misuse of powers and breach of the principle of proportionality, prima facie justify granting their request for suspension of the application of the Decision.
Hvad angår alvorligheden af den skade, beslutningen vil kunne påføre sagsøgerne, har de i det væsentlige henvist til, at de vil kunne forsvinde fra markedet eller miste markedsandele. National Farmers' Union har anført, at eksistensgrundlaget for sammenslutningens medlemmer vil forsvinde.
In the meantime, the preventive measures imposed by the Decision were relaxed by Commission Decision 96/362/EC of 11 June 1996 amending Decision 96/239/EC on emergency measures to protect against bovine spongiform encephalopathy (OJ 1996 L 139, p. 17).
Sagsøgerne har imidlertid ikke nærmere redegjort for beslutningens faktiske betydning for de således påpegede risici.
On the basis of the additional information provided, the decision of 11 June 1986 in substance lifts the export ban with regard to bovine semen, which the Scientific Veterinary Committee considered in its opinion of 26 April 1996 presented «no risk of transmission of BSE».
Der tages således ikke hensyn til, at en del af risiciene ikke skyldes selve beslutningen, men den krise i oksekødsind ustrien, der er fremkaldt af de nye oplysninger i SEAC's udtalelse om forekomst af en række atypiske tilfælde af Creutzfeldt-Jakob-sygdommen, som førte til, at Det Forenede Kongerige traf yderligere foranstaltninger, og at andre medlemsstater og tredjelande før vedtagelsen af beslutningen af 27. marts 1996 indførte forbud
As regards other products (essentially gelatin and tallow), it makes a lifting of the export ban subject to application of certain manufacturing methods and implementation of official controls by the United Kingdom.
Det hedder i kendelsens konklusion:
By a document lodged at the Court on 18 June 1996 the United Kingdom sought leave to intervene in support of the applicants.
•1) Prosper De Mulder Ltd slettes af listen over sagsøgere, der har fremsat begæring om foreløbige forholdsregler.
That argument is based, prima facie, on an incorrect or unduly restrictive interpretation, on the one hand, of the objectives of the Decision and, on the other hand, of the purpose and scope of Directives 90/425/EEC and 89/662/EEC.
Det tillades Det Forenede Kongerige at indtræde i sagen til støtte for påstande under behandlingen af sagen om foreløbige forholdsregler.
During the hearing, one of the applicants, Prosper de Mulder Limited, a tallow producer, stated that it was withdrawing its application for interim relief following the adoption of the Commission decision of 11 June 1996.
Begæringen om foreløbige forholdsregler tages ikke til følge.

In addition, pursuing the same line

of reasoning, the Commission justifies the extension of the ban on exports to nonmember countries by the intention to prevent deflections of trade.
Kommissionens oplysninger udgjorde en fusion af fællesskabsdimension i artikel 4064/89's forstand.
At the hearing it explained in that regard that the ban on exports to nonmember countries was justified in the present case by the need for a complete isolation of the territory affected by BSE.
Den 7. februar 1996 underrettede Kommissionen de spanske monopolmyndigheder om indholdet af dette brev.
For all those reasons, the applicants' case that the Decision is pursuing a purely economic purpose appears to be contradicted not only by the actual terms of the Decision but also by the context and circumstances in which the Decision was adopted.
Sagsøgeren, Sogecable SA, der tidligere hed Sociedad de televisión Canal Plus SA, er et spansk selskab, som for 50%'s vedkommende ejes af selskabet Canal Plus SA og Promatora de Informaciones SA.
Although it is true that the Community preventive regime established before the adoption of the Decision was based on the assumption that BSE was transmissible to humans, that assumption was not, until then, based on any experimental or medical finding.
Kommissionens talsmand for konkurrencespørgsmål redegjorde for indholdet og rækkevidden af beslutningen af 6. februar 1996 under et møde med journalister den 8. og 9. februar 1996.
The proposition, put forward by the applicants and the United Kingdom, that any risk of transmission of the disease to the population was confined to the period before the establishment of preventive measures by the United Kingdom is not prima facie supported by any scientific finding.
Den 1. marts 1996 godkendte de spanske myndigheder under visse betingelser koncentrationen som en fusion af national dimension.
Even if it were accepted that the ten cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease are explained, according to the most likely hypothesis, by exposure to BSE before 1989, that would not, in view in particular of the long incubation period of the disease, create any certainty as to the absence of a risk of infection linked to BSE after that date.
Den 26. juli 1995 indgik Telefónica d'España SA som er en offentlig virksomhed inden for telekommunikationssektoren, og dettes datterselskab Telecartera SA på den ene side en aftale med de to selskaber Sociedad de gestion de Câble SA og Sociedad de televisión Canal Plus SA på den anden side, som indebar, at der opstod en koncentration, idet man herved i fællesskab fik kontrol over Sociedad general de Cablevisión SA (herefter benævnt »Cablevisión koncentrationen«).
By reason of its object and purpose, the Decision therefore appears to be in conformity with the directives in question. At this stage, it is not necessary to examine the question whether, prima facie, the Commission exceeded its powers, on the ground that the Decision was unnecessary for the purposes of confronting the risk constituted by BSE.
Den 29. marts 1996 fremsendte Kommissionen en meddelelse med klagepunkter til de pågældende virksomheder og fastsatte en dato for høring af parterne i henhold til artikel 18 i forordning nr. 4064/89.
It is sufficient to observe that the Decision is intended to ensure the protection of public health against a serious hazard to animals or human health, as required by the relevant provisions of those directives.
I skrivelsen henviste Kommissionen også til, at den havde beføjelse til at udstede foreløbige foranstaltninger og pålægge bøder.
Having regard to the extent to which BSE has spread within bovine livestock in the United Kingdom and to the «probability» of its transmissibility to humans, the seriousness of the risk linked to that disease appears to be manifest and is, moreover, not disputed by the applicants.
Den 26. oktober 1995 blev koncentrationen i henhold til de nationale konkurrenceretlige bestemmelser anmeldt af firmaerne til de spanske monopolmyndigheder.
They question only the Commission's competence, on the ground that that risk has not changed in nature and has already given rise to the adoption, in particular by the Commission, of earlier, appropriate preventive measures.
Den 31. maj 1996 anmeldte Sogecable Cablevisión koncentrationen til Kommissionen i henhold til artikel 4, stk. 1, i forordning nr. 4064/89.
That line of argument, which goes, rather, to the merits of the Decision, seems of little relevance to an examination of the question of the defendant institution's competence.
Ved stævning indgivet til Retten den 16. april 1996 har Sogecable anlagt sag med pastand om annullation af Kommissionens beslutning af 6. og 7. februar 1996 og af den offentlige erklæring fra talsmanden for det for konkurrencepolitikken ansvarlige kommissionsmedlem af 8. februar 1996.
In that context, having regard to the circumstances of the present case, which are characterized by the seriousness and extent of the «probable» risk, to the urgency of the situation and to the complexity of evaluating its numerous health-related and economic and social aspects, the Commission had a wide discretion, when exercising the responsibilities conferred on it, in relation to the protection of public health, by the relevant provisions of the abovementioned directives, to take the appropriate and necessary measures in accordance with the Standing Veterinary Committee procedure and after consulting the competent technical bodies.
I skrivelsen, som var bilagt en kopi af de dokumenter, der var fremsendt til de spanske monopolmyndigheder, anførte firmaet, at Cablevisión koncentrationen udgjorde en fusion som omhandlet i artikel 3 i Rådets forordning (EØF) nr. 4064/89 om kontrol med fusioner og virksomhedsovertagelser, men at denne koncentration efter Telefonica's og Canal Plus Espagne's opfattelse ikke havde fællesskabsdimension i forordningens artikel l's forstand.
In support of their third plea, the applicants rely essentially on the argument that the adoption of the Decision was not justified by the appearance of any new risk linked to BSE which had not already given rise to the adoption of appropriate measures of protection pursuant to the relevant provisions of Directives 90/425/EEC and 89/662/EEC.
Ved skrivelse af 6. februar 1996 meddelte generaldirektøren for DG IV Canal Plus Espagne, at Cablevisión koncentrationen efter
That argument is, at first sight, invalidated by the circumstances which gave rise to the Decision and, in particular, by the very terms of the
Ved et særskilt dokument indgivet den 26. april 1996 til Retten har sagsøgeren dels fremsat begæring om udsættelse af gennemførelsen af den i erklæringen af 8. februar 1976 indeholdte beslutning fra talsmanden for det
At first sight, the measures introduced by the Decision do not appear to be manifestly inappropriate and disproportionate, having regard, on the one hand, to the difficulty of
kommissionsmedlem, der har ansvar for konkurrencepolitikken, dels begæret udstedelse af de nødvendige foreløbige forholdsregler for, at Kommissionen ikke i forhold til sagsøgeren udsteder nogen retsakt eller beslutning i medfør af artikel 8, 13, 14 og 15 i fororodning nr. 4064/89, før Retten har taget stilling til gyldigheden af den anfægtede beslutning i hovedsagen.
verifying the effective implementation of the preventive measures previously adopted by both the Community and the United Kingdom and, on the other hand, to the current lack of adequate knowledge as to the various ways in which BSE is transmitted from one animal to another.
Rettens bemærkninger anmodning om foreløbige foranstaltninger, der har til formål at forhindre Kommissionen i at udøve sine undersøgelses- og sanktionsbeføjelser på et tidspunkt, hvor den administrative procedure netop er startet, og før der overhovedet er vedtaget nogen foreløbige eller definitive forvaltningsakter, hvis gennemførelse man ønsker at undgå. Hvis nemlig Retten vedtog sådanne forholdsregler, ville den ikke længere være inden for området med kontrol af institutionens virke, men selv sætte sig i institutionens sted og udøve en rent forvaltningsmæssig kompetence.
Furthermore, the argument, submitted by the applicants at the hearing, that the manifestly disproportionate nature of the Decision is confirmed by the absence of similar measures concerning the other Member States in which cases of BSE have been detected is based, at first sight, on an incorrect appraisal of the situation in those countries, in which BSE has only appeared sporadically, and, as the Commission explained at the hearing, without being contradicted by the other parties, has led immediately to extremely rigorous preventive measures, such as the slaughter of the whole herd when a case of BSE is identified.
Heraf følger, at sagsøgeren i nærværende tilfælde ikke kan kræve, at det pålægges den sagsøgte institution at udsætte gennemførelsen af beslutningen om at indlede en administrativ procedure, og at det forbydes institutionen selv foreløbigt at udøve sin kompetence inden for rammerne af en sådan procedure.
In those circumstances, the President of the Court of First Instance does not have sufficient information to evaluate the risks attributable to the Decision as such, or, in those circumstances, to determine the extent to which suspension of the application of the Decision would make it possible to avoid the risks alleged by the applicants.
Det skal først undersøges, om de begærede foranstaltninger, der har det formål at få opsat de administrative skridt, der er indledt af Kommissionen med henblik på kontrol af Cablevisión koncentrationen, opfylder de krav, der følger af kompetencefordeling mellem de forskellige fællesskabsinstitutioner.
In any event, even if it were assumed that, for some of the applicants, the harm alleged is largely attributable to the Decision and reparable with difficulty - which has not been established those risks must be balanced against the risks which may follow for public health if the application of the Decision is suspended.
Retten ville kun have en sådan beføjelse i det tilfælde, hvor begæringen henviser til sådanne omstændigheder, at Retten kan konstatere, at der foreligger helt ekstraordinære omstændigheder, der gør, at de begærede foranstaltninger skal meddeles.
As regards, more specifically, the extension of the ban to all exports of those products to nonmember countries, it does not seem at this stage to be manifestly disproportionate in relation to the Decision's objective of protecting public health, in so far as it is intended to ensure the effectiveness of the measures of protection introduced.
Retten, der i en sag som denne skal tage stilling til en begæring om foreløbige forholdsregler, kan derfor i princippet ikke imødekomme en
As to the seriousness of the harm which they claim they are likely to suffer as a result of the Decision, the applicants refer, essentially, to the
I så henseende bemærkes, at sagsøgeren ikke har anført noget, der tyder på, at der foreligger helt ekstraordinære omstændigheder, som kunne berettige de begærede foreløbige foranstaltninger.
In that context, it should be emphasized that the requirements linked to the protection of public health must unquestionably be given more weight than commercial or economic interests, in conformity with the Treaty's objectives of ensuring a high level of protection of human health and with the fundamental principles of Community law in that area.

In that letter, to which were attached copies of the documents notified to the Spanish authorities, Telefónica stated that the Cablcvisión concentration was a concentration within the meaning of Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 of 21 December 1989 on the control of concentrations between undertakings but that in the view of Telefónica and Canal Plus España it did not have a Community dimension within the meaning of Article 1 thereof.

On 26 July 1995, Telefónica de España SA, a publicundertaking providing telecommunications services («Telefónica»), and its subsidiary Telecartera SA signed agreements with Sociedad de Gestión de Cable SA and Sociedad dc Televisión Canal Plus SA («Canal Plus España»), leading to a concentration in the form of the acquisition of joint control of Sociedad General de Cablcvisión SA («the Cablcvisión concentration»).
