En sådan henvisning til tredjemands formåen kan imidlertid ikke betingelsesløst anerkendes. Den ordregivende myndighed må nemlig, som det angives i artikel 23 i direktiv 92/50, tage stilling til tjenesteydernes egnethed på grundlag
However, such recourse to external references is subject to certain conditions.
Denne gennemgang skal navnlig give den ordregivende myndighed sikkerhed for, at den bydende virkelig råder over de ressourcer af enhver art, som han påberåber sig, i den af kontrakten omfattede periode.
That verification is intended, in particular, to enable the contracting authority to ensure that the successful tenderer will indeed be able to use whatever resources it relies on throughout the period covered by the contract.
Når et selskab godtgør sin tekniske, finansielle og økonomiske kapacitet for at få adgang til at deltage i en udbudsprocedure og herved henviser til kapaciteten i sammenslutninger eller virksomheder, som det indirekte eller direkte er knyttet til, uanset hvorledes denne tilknytning juridisk er beskaffen, må det således godtgøre, at det reelt disponerer over disse sammenslutningers eller virksomheders ressourcer, som det ikke selv ejer, og som er fornødne for aftalens opfyldelse (jf. på linje hermed for så vidt angår direktiv 71/304 og 71/305, Ballast Nedam Groep I-dommen, præmis 17).
Thus, where, in order to prove its financial, economic and technical standing with a view to being admitted to participate in a tendering procedure, a company relies on the resources of entities or undertakings with which it is directly or indirectly linked, whatever the legal nature of those links may be, it must establish that it actually has available to it the resources of those entities or undertakings which it does not itself own and which are necessary for the performance of the contract (see, to the same effect, as regards Directives 71/304 and 71/305, Ballast Nedam Groep I, paragraph 17).
Det tilkommer den nationale ret at afgøre, hvilken betydning der må tillægges de beviser, virksomheden fremlægger.
It is for the national court to assess the relevance of the evidence adduced to that effect.
Ved denne vurdering er det ikke efter direktiv 92/50 tilladt hverken på forhånd at udelukke visse former for bevis eller at opstille en formodning for, at tjenesteyderen råder over ressourcer tilhørende tredjemænd, alene fordi virksomheden tilhører den samme koncern eller virk somhedssammenslutning.
In the context of that assessment, Directive 92/50 does not permit the exclusion, without due analysis, of specific types of proof or the assumption that the service provider has available to it resources belonging to third parties merely by virtue of the fact that it forms part of the same group of undertakings.
31 Det præjudicielle spørgsmål skal derfor besvares med, at direktiv 92/50 skal fortolkes således, at en tjenesteyder efter dette direktiv med henblik på at godtgøre, at han opfylder de økonomiske, finansielle og tekniske betingelser for at deltage i en udbudsprocedure vedrørende afslutning af en offentlig tjeneste ydelsesaftale, kan henvise til andre virksomheders kvalifikationer, uanset hvorledes han retligt er forbundet med dem, såfremt han kan bevise, at han
31 Consequently, the answer to be given to the question referred must be that Directive 92/50 is to be interpreted as permitting a service provider to establish that it fulfils the economic, financial and technical criteria for participation in a tendering procedure for the award of a public service contract by relying on the standing of other entities, regardless of the legal nature of the links which it has with them, provided that it is able to show that it actually has at its disposal the

FORSLAG TIL AFGØRELSE FRA GENERALADVOKAT DAMASO RUIZ-JARABO COLOMER fremsat den 8. juli 1999 *
OPINION OF ADVOCATE GENERAL RUIZ-JARABO COLOMER delivered on 8 July 1999 * ment with the respondent, Amalgamated Construction Co. Ltd (hereinafter ACC).
Industrial Tribunal, Leeds (Det Forenede Kongerige), har i medfør af EF-traktatens artikel 177 (nu artikel 234 EF) forelagt Domstolen to spørgsmål vedrørende for tolkningen af direktiv 77/187/EØF 1 for så vidt angår varetagelse af arbejdstagernes rettigheder i forbindelse med overførsel af virksomheder.
The Leeds Industrial Tribunal, United Kingdom, has referred to the Court of Justice under Article 177 of the EC Treaty (now Article 234 EC) two questions on the interpretation of Directive 77/187/EEC 1 on the safeguarding of employees' rights in the event of transfers of undertakings (hereinafter 'the Directive').
Det ønskes nærmere bestemt oplyst, om der foreligger en overførsel i direktivets forstand, når den pågældende transaktion finder sted mellem to selskaber, der ikke alene tilhører samme koncern, men også har fælles ejer, ledelse og lokaler og udøver samme virksomhed.
In essence, the issue is whether there can be a transfer for the purposes of the Directive where an operation takes place between two companies which not only belong to the same corporate group but also have common owner ship, management and premises and are engaged, in part, in the same activity.
I — De faktiske omstændigheder i hovedsagen sagen
I — Facts
Det fremgår af forelæggelsesafgørelsen, at efter at kulindustrien var blevet nationaliseret, blev størstedelen af den underjordiske udvinding af kul foretaget af British Coal.
According to the findings in the order for reference, following the nationalisation of the coal industry, most deep mining was carried out by British Coal.
I begyndelsen blev det bygge- og anlægsarbejde, som var nødvendigt for, at mineejeren kunne nå frem til og udvinde mineralerne, udført af mineejeren selv under anvendelse af dennes egen arbejds styrke.
Initially, the construction and civil engineering work required to enable the mine owner to get at and extract minerals was carried out by the mine owner itself using its own work force.
Senere begyndte mineejeren at benytte entreprenører udefra.
Subsequently, it began to use outside contractors.
Dette spørgsmål om fortolkningen af fællesskabsretten er blevet rejst i forbindelse med en sag, som en gruppe arbejds tagere har anlagt ved Industrial Tribunal, Leeds, med påstand om, at det fastslås, hvilke løn- og arbejdsvilkår der i henhold til section 11 i Employment Protection
This question on the interpretation of Community law arose from an application made to the Leeds Industrial Tribunal by a group of workers for a declaration, under Section 11 of the Employment Protection (Consolidation) Act 1978, as to what were the terms and conditions of their employ

ACC er en af disse entreprenører.
ACC is one of those contractors.
Sel skabet har drevet virksomhed i mineindustrien i 25 år og har hovedsageligt arbejdet for British Coal og senere for RJB Mining (UK) Ltd (herefter »RJB«), da dette selskab
It has been involved in the mining industry for some 25 years, having worked in the main for British Coal and, subsequently, for RJB Mining (UK) Limited (hereinafter 'RJB'),
AMS startede som en særskilt juridisk enhed med egen arbejdsstyrke og egne løn- og arbejdsvilkår.
It began to operate as a distinct legal entity, with its own workforce, offering its own terms and conditions of employment.
Selskabet opnåede og udførte nye entre priser, og i 1993 beskæftigede det omkring 150 personer.
It enjoyed a certain success in obtaining and performing new contracts and, in 1993, it provided employment for approximately 150 people.
erhvervede en del af aktiverne i British Coal efter privatiseringen i 1994.
when that company acquired some of the assets of British Coal following its privatisation in 1994.
ACC er et helejet datterselskab af AMCO Corporation PLC (herefter »AMCO«).
ACC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMCO Corporation PLC (hereinafter 'AMCO').
AMCO har et andet helejet datterselskab, AM Mining Services Ltd (herefter »AMS«).
AMCO has another wholly-owned subsidiary, AM Mining Ser vices Limited (hereinafter 'AMS').
Der er ca. ti andre selskaber i AMCO-koncernen.
There are some ten other companies within the AMCO Group.
Der er et koncernhovedsæde, og visse funktioner, såsom personaleadministration, udarbejdelse af lønningslister og bogholderi, udføres centralt for datterselskaberne på koncernens hovedsæde.
There is a Group head quarters which performs certain functions, such as personnel, payroll and accountancy, on a central basis for the subsidiary companies.
Arbejdets varighed fremgik af de specifikke kontrakter.
The duration of the work was laid down in the specific contracts in each case.
Når en entreprise blev overdraget, vidste man, hvor længe den ville vare, og opsagde for en sikkerheds skyld arbejdsstyrken.
When a contract was awarded, its time span was known and redundancy notices were issued to the workforce on a protective basis.
Visse sagsøgere arbejdede i årevis under disse usikre forhold.
Some of the applicants had been working under these precarious terms for several years.
1 efteråret 1994 skulle en række kontrakter ophøre, og ACC gav den kompetente myndighed meddelelse om 92 mulige afskedigelser af økonomiske årsager.
In the autumn of 1994, a number of contracts were due to come to an end and ACC notified the competent authority of 92 potential redundancies.
Meddelelsen om disse afskedigelser blev også sendt til National Union of Mineworkers2(her efter »NUM«), som var den fagforening, der repræsenterede de fleste af de berørte arbejdstagere.
Notification of those redundancies was also given to the National Union of Mineworkers2(herein after 'the NUM'), which was the Trade Union which represented the majority of the employees concerned.
ACC's virksomhed består i det væsentlige i anlæg af minegange og forbindelses led.
ACC's activities consist essentially in the construction of underground roadways and the driving of tunnels.
Industrien er præget af konkurrence i den forstand, at kontrakter næsten altid tildeles på baggrund af offentlige licitationer uden garanti for, at mineejeren tildeler samme virksomhed en ny entreprise, når den gældende kontrakt er opfyldt.
It is a competitive industry, in that contracts are almost always awarded following invitation to tender, without any guarantee that the mine owner will award further contracts to the same firm on expiry of the current contract.
Der er imidlertid uden tvivl en tendens til, at entrepriserne overdrages løbende, om ikke andet så fordi mineejeren allerede kender entreprenøren på stedet og ved, at der på denne måde ikke vil blive nogen overgangsperiode mellem kontrakterne, således at kontinuiteten i arbejdet sikres.
However, it is clear that contracts tend to be awarded on a rolling basis, if only because the mine owner is familiar with the contractor in situ and knows that, in that way, there will be no transition period between contracts, so that continuity of the work is ensured.
Ifølge forelæggelsesafgørelsen fra Industrial Tribunal, Leeds, er ACC ikke på noget tidspunkt gået glip af en kontrakt i forbindelse med en ny licitation.
The Industrial Tribunal found that there was no occasion when ACC lost a contract under a competitive tender procedure.
I august 1994 afholdt British Coal en licitation vedrørende en entreprise på
In August 1994, British Coal announced an invitation to tender for a contract for
2 — Den nationale ret har anført, at skønt hverken ACC eller AMCO-koncernen angiveligt anerkender NUM, finder den det godtgjort, at fagforeningen i en række år i alt væsentligt er blevet behandlet, som om den var anerkendt.
2 — The national court states in its order that, although neither ACC nor the AMCO Group purports to recognise the NUM, it is satisfied that over a number of years the NUM has been treated, for all practical purposes, as being recognised.
Retten kan ikke se, hvorfor sagsøgte skulle finde det passende at give NUM meddelelse om afskedigelserne i den lovbestemte form, hvis fagforeningen ikke var anerkendt.
It states that it is unable to understand why the respondent would have thought it appropriate to give notice of the redundancies in the statutory form to the NUM unless it was recognised as a union.
AMS — det andet datterselskab, som er involveret i denne sag — har ikke så lang en historie.
In contrast, the history of AMS, the other subsidiary involved in these proceedings, is much shorter.
Selskabet blev stiftet i 1993 for at konkurrere med andre entreprenører om udførelse af arbejde i forbindelse med
It was established in 1993 for the purpose of competing with other contractors for work associated with
omfattende anlægsarbejder i Prince of Wales-kulminen. ACC mente ikke, at det ville kunne konkurrere med andre entre prenører, medmindre dets tilbud var baseret på betydeligt lavere lønomkostninger i for hold til tidligere kontrakter.
ALLEN AND OTHERS substantial driveage work at the Prince of Wales collieries.
Selskabet afgav et tilbud, som indeholdt et vilkår, hvorefter arbejdet ikke ville blive udført af selskabets egen arbejdsstyrke, men af ansatte i AMS, som havde tilsvarende arbejdsvilkår som de ansatte i de konkurrerende virksomheder3.
It submitted a tender on the basis that the contract would not be carried out by its workforce but by employees of AMS, whose terms of employment were more in line with those of the employees of competitors. 3
Ligesom tidligere blev ansatte, som havde modtaget afskedigelsesvarsel fra ACC, ansat af AMS uden afbrydelse og på de løn- og arbejdsvilkår, som var gældende for AMS; de ansatte, som var berettigede hertil, modtog en fratrædelsesgodtgørelse fra ACC.
As before, the workers who had received redundancy notices from ACC were taken on by AMS, without any break, under AMS terms and conditions of employment, and those who were eligible received redundancy payments from ACC.
Selv om ændringen vedrørte de entrepriser, som skulle påbegyndes, havde arbejdet under jorden også denne gang samme karakter, og der var således ikke nogen egentlig overgang mel lem de to ansættelser 7.
This time too, although the change was connected with the contracts which were to be carried out, the nature of the under ground work was the same, so that there was not a genuine break between the two employments.
havde ACC ikke arbejde nok til alle sine ansatte, og nogle af disse modtog afskedigelsesvarsel, men blev oplyst om, at de kunne blive ansat af AMS efter en afbrydelse på en weekend 5.
7 this, there was insufficient work for all ACC employees and some of them were given notice that they were to be made redundant and were informed that they could be taken on by AMS after a weekend break.5
Henimod slutningen af marts 1995 udløb yderligere en kontrakt på en entre
Towards the end of March 1995 another contract awarded to ACC, which was being
Forud for licitationen havde de fort drøftelser herom, og selv om hverken British Coal eller RJB havde indvendinger imod, at AMS blev underentreprenør, foretrak de tilsyneladende, at ACC selv deltog i licitationen.
It took the view that, in general, their employees lacked motivation, which might be attributable to the fact that the terms and conditions under which they were now working were much less favourable than those to which they had previously been
RJB var af den opfattelse, at de ansatte i AMS generelt savnede motivation, hvilket kunne skyldes, at de arbejdede under langt ringere løn- og arbejdsvilkår, end de tidligere havde været vant til. Mineejeren gav følgelig alle
There had been discussions prior to tenders being submitted and it appears that, although neither British Coal nor RJB had any objection to AMS being a subcontractor, they preferred that ACC should itself be the tendering contractor.
4 — I mineindustrien er det tilsyneladende sådan, at anlæg og udstyr for en stor dels vedkommende stilles til rådighed af mineejeren.
4 — It appears that, in the mining industry, substantial elements of plant and equipment are provided by the mine owner.
Da AMS blev underentreprenør, fik det stillet alt det udstyr til rådighed, som tidligere var stillet til rådighed for ACC, og AMS fik også adgang til vederlagsfrit at bruge andre anlæg og andet udstyr, som var ejet af ACC.
Once it became the subcontractor, AMS had the use of all the equipment which had previously been provided for ACC and was also able to use other items of plant and equipment which were the property of ACC, without any charge being made for such use.
