The relevant national legislation in this case is the Sex Discrimination Act 1975.
En medlemsstat overskrider ikke grænserne for denne kompetence, når den fastsætter regler om tilskrivning af bankrenter af støttebeløb, som går ind på konti tilhørende foreninger af producentorganisationer, dels fra det tidspunkt, hvor det af interventionsorganet udbetalte beløb krediteres disse konti, til det debiteres ved foreningens udbetaling af beløbet til modtageren, dels når udbetalingen af støtten - på grund af, at checken returneres, fordi modtageren er død, eller den i støtteansøgningen angivne adresse er mangelfuld - midlertidigt stilles i bero, indtil der udstedes en ny check.«

The answer to the question submitted by the House of Lords, which concerned Directive 76/207, took account of that general context.

Under Article 5(1), "application of the principle of equal treatment with regard to working conditions, including the conditions governing dismissal, means that men and women shall be guaranteed the same conditions without discrimination on grounds of sex".
Domstolen bemærkede, at det stod fast, at udkastet til ændring XIII af anordning PVS i henhold til direktivets artikel 8 straks skulle have været tilsendt Kommissionen, hvilket ikke skete.
First, in response to the House of Lords' inquiry, there could be no question of comparing the situation of a woman who finds herself incapable, by reason of pregnancy discovered very shortly after the conclusion of the employment contract, of performing the task for which she was recruited with that of a man similarly incapable for medical or other reasons.

Furthermore, the Court noted that, by reserving to Member States the right to retain or introduce provisions which are intended to protect women in connection with "pregnancy and maternity", Article 2(3) of Directive 76/207 recognizes the legitimacy, in terms of the principle of equal treatment, first, of protecting a woman's biological condition during and after pregnancy and, second, of protecting the special relationship between a woman and her child over the period which follows pregnancy and childbirth.

In circumstances such as those of Mrs Webb, termination of a contract for an indefinite period on grounds of the woman's pregnancy cannot be justified by the fact that she is prevented, on a purely temporary basis, from performing the work for which she has been engaged.
»Traktatbrud —forpligtelse til forudgående underretning i henhold til direktiv 83/189/EØF« (Sjette Afdeling)
The fad that the main proceedings concerned a woman who was initially recruited to replace another employee during the latter's maternity leave but who was herself found to be pregnant shortly after her recruitment could not affect the answer given to the national court.
Kommissionen udkastene hertil, havde undladt at opfylde sine forpligtelser i henhold til artikel 8 og 9 i Rådets direktiv 83/189/EØF.
Furthermore, the Court added that, contrary to the submission of the United Kingdom, dismissal of a pregnant woman recruited for an indefinite period cannot be justified on grounds relating to her inability to fulfil a fundamental condition of her employment contract.
Domstolen bemærkede, at det stod fast, at udkastene til anordningerne af 16. januar 1989, af 24. august 1988 og af 21. oktober 1988 i henhold til direktivets artikel 8 straks skulle have været tilsendt Kommissionen, hvilket ikke skete.

The Court ruled as follows :
Ved at have udstedt anordning af 16. januar 1989 om kilowatt-timemålere og anordning af 24. august 1988 om styrkekrav til flasker til læskedrikke samt anordning af 21. oktober 1988 om sammensætning klassificering emballering og mærkning af pesticider, uden at have tilsendt Kommissionen udkastene dertil, har Kongeriget Nederlandene undladt at opfylde sine forpligtelser i henhold til artikel 8 i Rådets direktiv 83/189/EØF af 28. marts 1983 om en informationsprocedure med hensyn til tekniske standarder og forskrifter.

Aftalens punkt 7 har følgende ordlyd: »Herlitz sælger udelukkende Parker-artikler i Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland. Ethvert salg over landegrænserne er forbudt eller kun tilladt, såfremt der er indhentet skriftlig tilladelse hos Parker.«
Unaprol brought proceedings against ΑΙΜΑ and the Ministry for Agriculture and Forestry in the Tribunale (District Court), Rome, for a declaration that the Ministerial Decrees of 29 December 1983 and of 2 January 1985 which were enacted in implementation of Community Regulations No 2959/82 and No 2261/84, cited above, and which govern the olive oil market, were unlawful.
Parker Pen Ltd fremstiller en række skriveredskaber, som selskabet sælger i alle de europæiske lande, hvor det er repræsenteret enten ved datterselskaber eller ved uafhængige forhandlere.
By order of 27 October 1992, received at the Court on 20 April 1993, the Corte d'Appello di Roma (Court of Appeal, Rome, First Civil Division) referred to the Court for a preliminary ruling a question on the interpretation of the Community provisions governing the granting of Community aid and, in particular, Council Regulation (EEC) No 2959/82 and Council Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 in order to determine the ownership of the interest accruing on funds placed in the accounts of associations of producer organizations, between the time when ΑΙΜΑ credits the funds and the time when they are actually over paid to the beneficiaries of the aid.
Den 19. maj 1988 indgav Viho i henhold til Rådets forordning nr. 17 en klage mod Parker, hvori selskabet gjorde gældende, at Parker forbød producenterne at eksportere selskabets produkter, at selskabet opdelte det fælles marked i et nationalt marked for hver enkelt medlemsstat, og at det på de nationale markeder opretholdt kunstigt høje priser for sine produkter.
That question was raised in proceedings between Unaprol (the national association of olive producer groups), on the one hand, and AJMA (the national intervention agency for agricultural products) and the Ministry for Agriculture and Forestry, on the other.
Parker og Herlitz indgik i 1986 en forhandleraftale, som blev underskrevet den 29. juli af Parker og den 18. august af Herlitz.
Unaprol is involved in the management of Community aid for the production of olive oil.

intended for payment of the aid has not been expressly settled by the aforementioned provisions relating to the olive oil market.
Som svar på en ordre på Parker-produkter, som Viho den 20. april 1989 fremsendte til Herlitz' 100%-ejede tyske datterselskab, Herlitz GmbH & Co KG, svarede dette selskab ved telefax af 24. april 1989: »Vi må desværre meddele Dem, at vi ikke har lov til at eksportere ovennævnte produKter. Vi kan derfor ikke efterkomme Deres ordre.« Efter at Herlitz havde fremsat sine bemærkninger til meddelelsen om klagepunkter den 3. april 1991, blev der afholdt en høring i Bruxelles den 4. juni 1991, og den 13. juni 1991 fremsatte Herlitz yderligere bemærkninger hertil.
The national court's question sought to establish whether the Community provisions on the financing of the common agricultural policy preclude national legislation from laying down that any bank interest accruing on the sums allocated until they are actually paid over to the beneficiaries belongs to the national intervention agency.
Parker Pen blev samtidig pålagt ikke at træffe foranstaltninger, der har samme formål eller samme virkning som den konstaterede overtrædelse.
The Court pointed out that the question of the allocation of any interest accruing, during the procedure for granting the aid, on the sums

Anbringendet om overtrædelse af traktatens artikel 85, stk. 1, kunne opdeles i to led.
He proposed that the Court should reply as follows:
Den 28. september 1989 meddelte Parker Herlitz, at punkt 7 i aftalen var ophævet, og den 18. december 1989 fremsendte Parker til Herlitz et forslag til en ny samarbejdsaftale. Parker anførte i denne forbindelse, at der af juridiske grunde måtte foretages visse ændringer.
"The Community provisions applicable to the common agricultural policy, and particularly Council Regulations (EEC) No 2959/82 and No 2261/84 laying down general rules in respect of production aid for olive oil, are to be interpreted as reserving to the Member States the power to determine, according to national law, the procedure for the allocation of aid to olive growers, and the time-limits for payment of the aid.
Med hensyn til aftalens konkurrencebegrænsende formål bemærkede Retten indledningsvis, at det er ubestridt, at sagsøgeren i 1986 indgik en aftale med Parker, som indeholder en bestemmelse om eksportforbud. Et eksportforbud er efter sin karakter en konkurrencebegrænsning, uanset om den aftales på foranledning af leverandøren eller kunden, idet formålet med parternes aftale er at forsøge at afgrænse en del af markedet.
A Member State does not exceed the limits of that power where it settles the question of the allocation of the bank interest accruing on the sums of aid passing through the accounts of associations of producer groups, either in the interval between the time when the sum paid by the intervention agency is credited and the time when it is debited on payment by the association to the beneficiary, or by reason of the temporary non-payment of the aid on account of the return of a cheque owing to death or non-delivery to the address shown on the beneficiary's application, pending the issue of new payment documentation."

(Failure of a Member State to fulfil its obligations — Obligation to give prior notification under Directive 83/189/EEC) (Sixth Chamber) has failed to fulfil its obligations under Articles 8 and 9 of Council Directive 83/189/EEC.
Hertil udtalte Retten, at Parker med den anfægtede aftale kunne begrænse salget af sine produkter gennem Herlitz' salgssystem til det tyske marked. Da en bestemmelse bør fortolkes ud fra samtlige kontraherende parters interesser og hensigt, måtte det i det foreliggende tilfælde fastslås, at eksportforbuddet, som på ingen måde var overflødigt, var et væsentligt element i de forpligtelser, de to parter gensidigt havde påtaget sig.

Retten forkastede herefter anbringendet om overtrædelse af traktatens artikel 85, stk. 1.
It was not disputed that in accordance with Article 8 of the directive draft amendment XIII to the PVS regulation ought to have been notified forthwith to the Commission and that such notification was not given.
Retten bemærkede for det første, at sagsøgerens anbringende om, at den anfægtede klausul ikke var indsat i kontrakten i nogen speciel hensigt, var uden betydning. Det er således ikke en betingelse for, at en overtrædelse af traktatens konkurrenceregler kan anses for forsætlig, at den pågældende virksomhed viste, at den overtrådte det heri indeholdte forbud, men det er tilstrækkeligt, at den var klar over, at den anfægtede handlemåde havde til formål at begrænse konkurrencen.

Da denne beslutning var vedtaget efter sagens anlæg, den 24. september 1992, kunne den anses for en retlig eller faktisk omstændighed, som er kommet frem under proceduren, jf. procesreglementets artikel 48, stk. 2.
Herlitz AG produces a wide range of office equipment and associated products and also distributes the products of other manufacturers, in particular products manufactured by Parker.
Retten henviste til, at det væsentlige indhold af de af hver enkelt person fremsatte udtalelser skal føres til protokols, og at protokollatet oplæses for og godkendes af den pågældende.
In 1986 Parker and Herlitz concluded a distribution agreement, signed by Parker on 29 July and by Herlitz on 18 August, clause 7 of which states as follows: "Herlitz will distribute Parker articles solely in the Federal Republic of Germany.
Retten fastslog, at sagsøgeren på hensigtsmæssig måde havde kunnet få kendskab til indholdet af referatet, idet det var underskrevet af selskabets advokat og administrerende direktør.
Any distribution by Herlitz outside Germany is prohibited and may take place only with Parker's written consent".
Endvidere bemærkede Retten i denne forbindelse, at Kommissionen ved vurderingen af, om Fællesskabet har interesse i fortsætte undersøgelsen af en sag, skal tage hensyn til de foreliggende omstændigheder, herunder de
On 19 May 1988 Viho lodged a complaint against Parker under Council Regulation No 17 in which it complained that Parker was prohibiting the export of its products by its
Overtrædelse af artikel 15, stk. 2, i forordning nr. 17
Viho Europe BV imports and exports office equipment and cinematographic productions, particularly in the Member States.
Med hensyn til manglende forsæt bemærkede Retten, at det ikke er en betingelse for, at en overtrædelse af traktatens konkurrenceregler kan anses for forsætlig, at den pågældende virksomhed viste, at den overtrådte det heri indeholdte forbud, men det er tilstrækkeligt, at úcn vai klar over, at den anfægtede handlemåde havde til formål at begrænse konkurrencen.
On 22 May 1991 Viho lodged another complaint against Parker, which was registered at the Commission on 29 May 1991, in which it claimed that the distribution policy pursued by Parker whereby it required its subsidiaries to restrict the distribution of Parker products to their allocated territories, constituted an infringement of Article 85(1) of the Treaty.
Fra starten af den administrative procedure havde Parker erkendt, at et eksportforbud var i strid med traktatens artikel 85, stk. 1.
The Commission rejected that complaint by its decision of 30 September 1992.
Det fremgår derimod af beslutningen, at Kommissionen ikke tog hensyn til, at omsætningen vedrørende de af overtrædelsen omfattede produkter var forholdsvis beskeden i forhold til Parker's samlede salg. Retten bemærkede i denne forbindelse, at der kan tages hensyn såvel til virksomhedens samlede omsætning, som kan være et omend omtrentligt og ufuldstændigt udtryk for dens størrelse og økonomiske formåen, som omsætningen vedrørende de produkter, som er omfattet af overtrædelsen, hvilket kan være et udtryk for dennes omfang.
In reply to a request for supply of Parker products sent to it by Viho on 20 April 1989, Herlitz GmbH & Co KG, a wholly-owned German subsidiary of Herlitz, replied by fax on 24 April 1989: "Unfortunately we must inform you that we are not allowed to export any of the abovementioned products. We regret not being able to reply positively". Following written observations submitted by Herlitz on 3 April 1991 in reply to the Statement of Objections, a hearing took place in Brussels on 4 June 1991, concerning which Herlitz made further comments on 13 June 1991.
