Kommissionen kan — i modsætning til de nationale retter - ikke foreskrive tilbagebetaling af en statsstøtte alene med den begrundelse, at underretningspligten er tilsidesat, jf. traktatens artikel 93, stk. 3. Kommissionen må først efter at have givet vedkommende medlemsstat lejlighed til — i afventning af resultatet af undersøgelsen af støtten — at fremsætte sine bemærkninger ved en midlertidig beslutning pålægge medlemsstaten straks at suspendere udbetalingen af støtten og inden en vis
Where the product in question is a pharmaceutical product which was originally packaged in blister packs and the person responsible for the repackaging simply removes the blister packs from their original external packaging and places them in new external packaging without cutting them, and where that person uses suitable premises, employs competent staff and takes all reasonable safeguards, there is not in principle any ground for finding that the original condition of the goods may be affected, and the national court is precluded from making such a finding in the absence of specific evidence.»
Med første spørgsmål ønsker den nationale ret i det væsentlige oplyst, hvorvidt det forhold, at en offentlig virksomhed har ydet logistisk og forretningsmæssig bistand uden sædvanligt vederlag til sine privatretlige datterselskaber, som udøver virksomhed underlagt den frie konkurrence, kan anses for statsstøtte i den i traktatens artikel 92 omhandlede betydning.
Preliminary ruling (State aids — Jurisdiction of national courts when the matter is also pending before the Commission —Definition of State aid Consequences of infringement of the last sentence of Article 93(3) of the EC Treaty) (Full Court)
Det tiltrædes, at en offentlig virksomheds ydelse af logistisk og forretningsmæssig bistand uden sædvanligt vederlag til privatretlige datterselskaber, som driver virksomhed underlagt den frie konkurrence, kan anses for at være statsstøtte som omhandlet i traktatens artikel 92.
By judgment of 5 January 1994, received at the Court on 31 January 1995, the Tribunal de Commerce (Commercial Court), Paris, referred to the Court for a preliminary ruling a number of questions on the interpretation of Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty.
Det må med henblik på at vurdere, hvorvidt en statslig foranstaltning skal anses for at være støtte, fastlægges, hvorvidt den virksomhed, foranstaltningen er rettet til, opnår en økonomisk fordel, som den ikke ville have opnået under sædvanlige markedsbetingelser.
By Questions 5 to 8 the national court asks essentially what position it should adopt when seised of a request that it should draw the appropriate conclusions from an infringement of Article 93(3) of the Treaty, when the Commission is concurrently seised of the matter and has not yet given a decision on the question whether or not the State measures in question constitute State aid.
Eftersom Kommissionen alene kan træffe bestemmelse om, at yderligere ydelser ikke må finde sted, så længe den ikke har truffet endelig beslutning, vil den tilsigtede virkning af traktatens artikel 93, stk. 3, blive formindsket, hvis det forhold, at sagen var forelagt for Kommissionen, skulle forhindre de nationale retter i at drage konsekvenserne af, at bestemmelsen var tilsidesat.
As regards the supervision of Member States' compliance with their obligations under Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty, the national courts and the Commission fulfil complementary and separate roles.
En sådan vurdering forudsætter en økonomisk analyse, som tager hensyn til alle de faktorer, som en virksomhed under normale markedsbetingelser skulle have taget i betragtning ved fastsættelsen af vederlaget for ydelserne.
That dispute concerned logistical and commercial assistance afforded by the Post Office to SFMI and Chronopost in their express delivery activities.
Den forsinkelse, hvormed Kommissionen har gennemført sin indledende undersøgelse, kan heller ikke have den virkning, at en ny støtte, som ydes i strid med traktatens artikel 93, stk. 3, sidste punktum, ændres til at være en bestående støtte, som kun kan ophæves med virkning for fremtiden.
In drawing the appropriate conclusions from an infringement of the last sentence of Article 93(3), national courts cannot rule on the compatibility of the aid with the common market, that determination being a matter for the Commission, subject to review by the Court of Justice.
Med andet spørgsmål ønsker den nationale ret i det væsentlige oplyst, hvorvidt en national retsinstans, for hvilken der er nedlagt påstand om tilbagebetaling af støtte, kan tage påstanden til følge, hvis det fastslås, at støtten ikke er blevet anmeldt til Kommissionen.
Since Questions 5 to 8 concern the issue of the national court's jurisdiction and whether it may proceed with the case notwithstanding the fact that the matter in point is concurrently before the Commission, they should be dealt with before Questions 1 to 4, which concern the concept of State aid and the remedies to be granted in the event of an infringement of the last sentence of Article 93(3).
Endelig bemærkes, at en national ret kan være nødt til at fortolke det i traktatens artikel 92 omhandlede støttebegreb for at fastslå, om en statslig foranstaltning, som er indført uden iagttagelse af den forudgående undersøgelsesprocedure efter artikel 93, stk. 3, skulle have været underkastet denne procedure.
Unlike the national courts, the Commission cannot order State aid to be repaid solely on the ground that it has not been notified in accordance with Article 93(3) of the Treaty.
Det bemærkes, at den nationale ret, for hvilken der er nedlagt en påstand om, at traktatens artikel 93, stk. 3, sidste punktum, er tilsidesat,
First it must, alter giving the Member State in question an opportunity to submit its comments on the matter, issue an interim decision requiring
Tredje og fjerde spørgsmål spiller en større rolle end den domstol, der skal træffe en foreløbig afgørelse. Den nationale ret er forpligtet til i sin endelige dom i en sådan sag at sikre beskyttelse mod retsvirkningerne af, at en ulovlig statsstøtte bliver gennemført.
Question 1 it to suspend immediately the payment of aid pending the outcome of the examination of the aid and to provide the Commission, within such period as it may specify, with all such documentation, information and data as are necessary in order that it may examine the compatibility of the aid with the common market.
Desuden kan denne afgørelse ikke anfægtes af Kommissionen. Kommissionens endelige beslutning om, at en støtte er forenelig med fællesmarkedet, indebærer nemlig ikke, at ulovlige gennemførelsesforanstaltninger efterfølgende lovliggøres.
It is only if the Member State, notwithstanding the Commission's order, fails to provide the information requested that the Commission is empowered to terminate the procedure and make its decision, on the basis of the information available to it, on the question whether or not the aid is compatible with the common market and, if appropriate, call for the recovery of the amount of aid which has already been paid.
Med det tredje og fjerde spørgsmål ønsker den nationale ret i det væsentlige oplyst, hvorvidt en virksomhed, som har modtaget støtte, og som ikke undersøger, om støtten er blevet anmeldt til Kommissionen i overensstemmelse med traktatens artikel 93, stk. 3, ifalder ansvar i henhold til fællesskabsretten.
By its first question the national court seeks in essence to ascertain whether the provision of logistical and commercial assistance by a public undertaking to its subsidiaries, which are governed by private law and carry on an activity open to free competition, without normal consideration in return is capable of constituting State aid within the meaning of Article 92 of the Treaty.
Når det fastslås, at en støtte er blevet ydet i strid med artikel 93, stk. 3, sidste punktum, skal det principielt medføre, at beløbet tilbagebetales i overensstemmelse med de nationale processuelle bestemmelser.
In those circumstances, the initiation by the Commission of a preliminary examination procedure under Article 93(3) or the consultative examination procedure under Article 93(2) cannot release national courts from their duty to safeguard the rights of individuals in the event of a breach of the requirement to give prior notification.
Dels er forpligtelsen til at underrette Kommissionen og forbudet mod forudgående gennemførelse af påtænkte støtteforanstaltninger, som er fastsat i artikel 93, stk. 3, rettet til medlemsstaten. Dels er også Kommissionens beslutning om, at en støtte er uforenelig med fællesmarkedet og skal ophæves inden for en af Kommissionen fastsat frist, rettet til medlemsstaten.
The view that the provision of logistical and commercial assistance by a public undertaking to its subsidiaries, which are governed by private law and carry on an activity open to free competition, without normal consideration in return is capable of constituting State aid within the meaning of Article 92 of the Treaty must be upheld.
Såfremt det forudsættes, at de nationale retsinstanser alene kan træffe afgørelse om, at enhver fremtidig ydelse udsættes, ville den allerede ydede støtte blive opretholdt, indtil Kommissionen traf endelig beslutning om, at
In order to determine whether a State measure constitutes aid, it is necessary to establish whether the recipient undertaking receives an economic advantage which it would not have obtained under normal market conditions.
Under disse omstændigheder er der ikke i fællesskabsretten tilstrækkelig hjemmel til, at en støttemodtager, som ikke har undersøgt, hvorvidt den modtagne støtte er blevet forskriftsmæssigt anmeldt til Kommissionen, ifalder ansvar.
Any other interpretation would have the effect of encouraging the Member States to disregard the prohibition on implementation of planned aid.
Det er imidlertid muligt, at anvendelse af nationale retsforskrifter vil kunne medføre, at der foreligger ansvar uden for kontraktforhold.
Since the Commission can do no more than order further payments to be suspended so long as it has not adopted its final decision on the substance of the matter, the effectiveness of Article 93(3) would be weakened if the fact that the Commission was seised of the matter were to prevent the national courts from drawing all the appropriate conclusions from the infringement of that provision.
Det hedder i domskonklusionen:
In examining that question, it is for the national court to determine what is normal remuneration for the services in question.
En national retsinstans kan være nødt til at fortolke og anvende støttebegrebet med henblik på at afgøre, hvorvidt foranstaltningerne skulle have været anmeldt til Kommissionen.
Question 2
Hvb den nationale retsinstans er i tvivl, kan den anmode Kornmissionen om nærmere oplysninger.
Similarly, it cannot be accepted that the Commission's delay in completing its preliminary examination may result in the transformation of new aid granted in breach of the last sentence of Article 93(3) of the Treaty into existing aid which can be abolished only with respect to the future.
Desuden kan euer skal den forelægge Domstolen etpræjudicielt spørgsmål, jf. EF-traktatens artikel 177, stk 2 og 3.
The role of a national court seised of an application based on the last sentence of Article
Såfremt den nationale retsinstans retter henvendebe til Kommissionen eller f orelægger Domstolen et præjudicielt spørgsmål, skal den vurdere, hvorvidt det er
Finally, a national court may have cause to interpret the concept of aid contained in Article 92 of the Treaty in order to determine whether a State measure introduced without observance of the preliminary examination procedure provided for in Article 93(3) ought to have been subject to that procedure.
nødvendigt at vedtage foreløbige forholdsregler f or at sikre parternes interesser, indtil der træffes endelig afgørebe i sagen
court asks in essence whether the recipient of aid who does not verify that the aid has been notified to the Commission in accordance with Article 93(3) of the Treaty may incur liability on the basis of Community law.
En offentlig virksomheds ydebe af logistisk og forretningsmæssig bistand til privatretlige datterselskaber, som driver virksomhed underlagt den frie ko.ikurrence, kan udgøre statsstøtte i den i EF-traktatens artikel 92 anførte betydning, hvb vederlaget herfor er lavere end det, som ville være blevet forlangt under sædvanuge markedsbetingeber.
A finding that aid has been granted in breach of the last sentence of Article 93(3) must in principle lead to its repayment in accordance with the procedural rules of domestic law.
En national retsinstans, for hvilken der nedlæggespåstand om tilbagebetaling af støtte, skal tage denne påstand tilfølge, hvb den fastslår, at støtten ikke er blevet anmeldt til Kommbsionen, medmindre tilbagebetaling på grund af ekstraordinære omstændigheder ikke er hensigtsmæssig.
First, the notification requirement and the prior prohibition on implementing planned aid laid down in Article 93(3) are directed to the Member State. Second, the Member State is also the addressee of the decision by which the Commission finds that aid is incompatible with the common market and requests the Member State to abolish the aid within the period determined by the Commission.
En støttemodtager, som ikke undersøger, om støtten er blevet anmeldt til Kommbsionen i overensstemmelse med traktatens artikel 93, stk 3, kan ikke ifalde ansvar alene med hjemmel i fællesskabsretten. *
That being so, Community law does not provide a sufficient basis for the recipient to incur liability where he has failed to verify that the aid received was duly notified to the Commission.
Generaladvokat F.G. Jacobs fremsatte forslag til afgørelse i retsmødet (Domstolens plenum) den 14. december 1995.
Any other interpretation would encourage the Member States to disregard the prohibition laid down in Article 93(3).
En national ret har kompetence til at pådømme en sag på grundlag af artikel 93, stk. 3, sidste punktum, selv om Kommissionen har fået forelagt sagen.
That docs not, however, prejudice the possible application of national law concerning noncontractual liability.
Såfremt den kompetente nationale ret finder, at en medlemsstat har ydet støtte under tilsidesættelse af det i artikel 93, stk. 3, sidste punktum, indeholdte forbud, skal den kræve tilbagesøgning i henhold til nationale processuelle regler.
With a view to determining whether those measures should have been notified to the Commission, a national court may have cause to interpret and apply the concept of aid. In case of doubt, it may ask the Commission for clarification.
Den bør imidlertid undersøge, hvorvidt der foreligger ekstraordinære omstændigheder, der hos modtageren giver anledning til berettiget forventning, der er til hinder for en tilbagesøgning af støtten.
Where it consults the Commission or refers a question to the Court, it must decide whether it is necessary to order interim measures in order to safeguard the interests of the parties pending final judgment.
Fællesskabsretten kan gøre en medlemsstat eller et offentligretligt organ, der ulovligt yder støtte, erstatningspligtig, men forpligter ikke modtageren af denne støtte til at erstatte det tab, der er påført konkurrenterne som følge af den ulovlige støttetildeling, med mindre det at modtage en ulovlig betaling under lignende omstændigheder i national ret kan gøre modtageren erstatningsansvarlig over for tredjemand.«

Præjudiciel »Ligebehandling af mænd og kvinder — nedsatte takster for benyttebe af offentlige transportmidler til personbefordring — det materielle anvendebesområde for direktiv 79/7 — forbindebe med pensionsalderen* (Domstolens plenum)
A national court requested to order the repayment of aid must grant that application if it finds that the aid was not notified to the Commission, unless by reason of exceptional circumstances repayment is inappropriate.
Ifølge ordlyden af artikel 3, stk. 1, litra a), i direktiv 79/7 finder direktivet anvendelse på lovbestemte ordninger, der sikrer beskyttelse mod risikoen for sygdom, invaliditet, alderdom, arbejdsulykker og erhvervssygdomme samt arbejdsløshed.
A recipient of aid who does not verify that the aid has been notified to the Commission in accordance with Article 93(3) of the Treaty cannot^mcur liability solely on the basis of Community law.»
I Det Forenede Kongerige kan de lokale myndigheder ifølge section 93 i Transport Aet af 1985 (herefter »1985-loven«) anvende en ordning med nedsatte takster for benyttelse af transportmidler, der giver visse grupper af brugere ret til at rejse gratis eller til nedsatte takster med de offentlige transportmidler for personbefordring.
The provision by a Member State, through a public body, of logistical and commercial assistance to an international express courier undertaking in which the public body has a direct or indirect holding on financial terms that are more favourable than those which the undertaking could obtain from a comparable commercial investor constitutes, in circumstances such as those in the main proceedings, aid which distorts or threatens to distort competition and affects trade between Member States for the purposes of Article 92(1) of the Treaty.
Det må konstateres, at en ydelse som den, der er fastsat i 1985-lovens section 93, stk. 7, og som tildeles i medfør af en ordning, der er indført og forvaltes af Wrekin District Council, ikke opfylder disse betingelser.
It should also consider whether it would be appropriate to order interim measures in accordance with the applicable national procedural rules in order to safeguard the rights of the parties pending final judgment.
High Court's første spørgsmål er i det væsentlige, om artikel 3, stk. 1, i direktiv 79/7 skal fortolkes således, om en ordning som den, der er fastsat ved 1985-lovens section 93, stk. 7, og som er indført og forvaltes af Wrekin District Council, hvorefter der indrømmes visse persongrupper, særligt ældre, ret til nedsatte takster for benyttelse af offentlige transportmidler, er omfattet af direktivets anvendelsesområde.
Where the competent national court finds that aid has been granted by a Member State in breach of the prohibition in the last sentence of Article 93(3), it should order recovery of the aid in accordance with the applicable procedures of national law. The court should however consider whether there are exceptional circumstances giving rise to a legitimate expectation on the part of the recipient precluding recovery of the aid.
Ganske vist udgør ydelsen en del af en lovbestemt ordning, da den har hjemmel i en lovregel, uanset om den i øvrigt kun kan
While Community law may make a Member Stale or public body which unlawfully grants aid liable in damages, it does not oblige the recipient of such aid to make good loss or damage sustained by a competitor as a result of the unlawful grant of aid, unless the receipt of an unlawful payment in corresponding circumstances gives rise under national law to liability in damages to third parties.»

Case C-228/94 Stanley Charles Atkins ν Wrekin District Council, Department of Transport Social policy
Det må imidlertid fastslås, at en ydelse som den, der er fastsat ved 1985-lovens section 93, stk. 7 — og som består i, at der indrømmes nedsatte takster for benyttelse af offentlige transportmidler til visse persongrupper, såsom personer, der har nået den lovbestemte pensionsalder, visse unge eller handicappede personer samt andre persongrupper, der fastlægges ved ministeriel bekendtgørelse — ikke sikrer en direkte og faktisk beskyttelse mod en af de risici, som er opregnet i artikel 3, stk. 1, i direktiv 79/7.
By order of 23 May 1994, received at the Court on 8 August 1994, the High Court of Justice of England and Wales, Queen's Bench Division, referred to the Court for a preliminary ruling three questions concerning the interpretation of Council Directive 79/7/EEC of 19 December 1978 on the progressive implementation of the principle of equal treatment for men and women in matters of social security (OJ 1979 L 6, p. 24).
Kommissionens opfattelse kan ikke tiltrædes.
According to Article 3(l)(b), it is also to apply to social assistance, in so far as such assistance is intended to supplement or replace the schemes referred to in Article 3(l)(a).
Formålet med en sådan ydelse er nemlig at lette adgangen til de offentlige transportmidler for visse persongrupper, som af forskellige grunde anerkendes at have et forøget behov for benyttelse af de offentlige transportmidler samtidig med, at de af samme grunde befinder sig i en mindre fordelagtig økonomisk og faktisk situation.
The Court has already held that, in order to fall within the scope of Directive 79/7, a benefit must constitute the whole or part of a statutory scheme providing protection against one of the specified risks, or a form of social assistance having the same objective.
Da en ordning for nedsatte takster for benyttelse af offentlige transportmidler som den, der er fastsat i 1985-lovens section 93, stk. 7, og som er
The questions have been raised in proceedings brought before the High Court by Mr Stanley Atkins, who considers that he has been discriminated against on the ground of his sex because, at the age of 63, he was refused public transport travel concessions under the scheme operated by Wrekin District Council, whereas a woman of the same age would have been entitled to such concessions.
I betragtning af den utvetydige ordlyd af titlen til direktiv 79/7 og dets betragtninger samt artikel 1, som alle præciserer, at direktivet tilsigter en gradvis gennemførelse af princippet om ligebehandling af mænd og kvinder med hensyn til social sikring, kan henvisningen til den anden form for social beskyttelse, som omhandles i artikel 3, ikke fortolkes på anden måde end som en henvisning til bestemmelserne om social bistand, der som hovedregel er undtaget fra området for social sikring.
The Court has also stated that, although the way in which a benefit is granted is not decisive for the purposes of Directive 79/7, the benefit must, in order to fall within its scope, be directly and effectively linked to the protection provided against one of the risks specified in Article 3(1) of the Directive.
»Artikel 3, stk 1, i Rådets direktiv 79/7 af 19. december 1978 om gradvis gennemførelse af princippet om ligebehandling af mænd og kvinder med hensyn til social sikring skal fortolkes således, at en ordning som den, der er fastsat i section 93, stk 7, i Transport Aet af 1985, og som er indført og forvaltes af Wrekin District Council, hvorefter der indrømmes vbse persongrupper, særligt ældre, ret til nedsatte takster for benyttelse af offentlige transportmidler, er ikke omfattet af direktivets anvendelsesområde.*
In the United Kingdom, Section 93 of the Transport Act 1985 («the 1985 Act») empowers local authorities to provide a travel concession scheme entitling certain classes of persons to travel free of charge or at reduced fares on publicpassenger transport services.

A benefit such as that provided for in Section 93(7) of the 1985 Act and granted under the scheme implemented and operated by Wrekin District Council does not meet those conditions.

It is true that, being provided for in a statutory provision, it forms part of a statutory scheme, albeit it is granted only pursuant to measures adopted by local authorities.
