Under proceduren har parterne fremhævet at enhver rejsearrangør havde mulighed for at sælge pakkerejser uden adgangsbilletter til kampene og opfordre deres kunder til at købe disse adgangsbilletter hos BNL eller hos fodboldforbundene.
Consequently, the world exclusive rights enjoyed by 90 Tour Italia also had the effect of restricting competition becween cravei agencies within the Community.
Aftalerne indgået mellem på den ene side COL Italia som et organ tilhørende FIFA og FIGC i fællesskab og på den anden side 90 Tour, CIT og Italia Tour, som indebar, at 90 Tour fik overdraget eneretten til levering af adgangsbilletter til inkorporering i pakkerejser, medførte i mangel af alternative billetleveringskilder alt i alt en begrænsning af konkurrencen i EF, jf. EØF-Traktatens artikel 85, stk. 1, mellem rejsearrangører og mellem rejsebureauer på markedet for salg af pakkerejser i forbin delse med verdensmesterskabet i fodbold 1990.
All in all, by granting exclusive righes Co 90 Tour Italia to supply entrance tickecs Co be included in package tours, alternative sources for the procure ment of tickecs not being available, the agreemencs concluded between, on the one hand, the local organizing committee in ics capacity as a body belonging jointly co FIFA and Che FIGC and, on the ocher, 90 Tour Italia, CIT and Icalia Tour had Che effecc of restricting competition in the Community within the meaning of Article 85 (1) of the Treaty becween our operaeors and between travel agencies on the market for the sale of package tours to the 1990 World Cup.
Aftalerne falder dermed ind under EØF-Traktatens artikel 85, stk. 1.
The condicions of Article 85 (1) are thus met.
En anden mulighed, som parterne foreslog under proceduren, bestod i, at interesserede personer kunne købe en pakkerejse uden adgangsbillet hos et rejsebureau og bemyndige dette bureau til at købe adgangsbilletterne til kampene for deres regning.
A second possibility suggested by the parties during the proceeding was that potential customers could book a package tour without tickets at a travel agency and ask che travel agency to purchase the ground entrance tickecs for them.
Denne mulighed kan heller ikke betragtes som en tilfredsstillende alternativ løsning.
This approach similarly cannot be regarded as a satisfactory alternative solution.
Under proceduren har parterne tilkendegivet at de pågældende aftaler kunne henføres under Kommissionens forordning (EØF) nr. 1983/83 af 22. juni 1983 om anvendelse af Traktatens artikel 85, stk. 3, på kategorier af eneforhandlingsaftaler.
During the proceeding, the parties argued that the agreemencs could have been exempted under Regulación (EEC) No 1983/83 on ehe applicacion of Article 85 (3) of the Treacy to categories of exclusive distribution agreemencs.
Forordning (EØF) nr. 1983/83 blev vedtaget af Kommissionen under henvisning til Rådets forordning nr. 19/65/EØF af 2. marts 1965 om anvendelse af bestemmelserne i Traktatens artikel 85, stk. 3, på kategorier af aftaler og samordnet praksis (*).
Such a procedure would have meant that, for each package tour sold, a travel agency not authorized by 90 Tour Italia would have to go to the BNL branch or agent with the customer's identity papers in order to obtain the ground entrance tickets.
Denne fremgangsmåde ville nemlig kræve, at et rejsebureau, som ikke var godkendt af 90 Tour, hver gang det solgte en pakkerejse, skulle henvende sig til en filial af BNL eller en af bankens agenter med et identitetsbevis for køberen af pakkerejsen for at skaffe adgangsbilletter til kampene.
Regulation (EEC) No 1983/83 was adopted by the Commission pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 19/65/EEC of 2 March 1965 on the application of Article 85 (3) of the Treaty to certain categories of agreemencs and concerted praceices (').
Med artikel 1, stk. 1, i forordning nr. 19/65/EØF er Kommissionens beføjelser udtrykkeligt begrænset til vedtagelse af en fritagelsesforordning gældende for varer.
Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 19/65/EEC explicitly limits the Commission's power to adopt an exemption regulation to agreements relating to goods only.
Denne fremgangsmåde ville pålægge ikkegodkendte rejsebureauer ekstra arbejde og dermed forøge omkostningerne, og der ville altid herske tvivl hos køberne af pakkerejser om, hvorvidt det reelt ville være muligt at skaffe billetter til kampene.
This procedure would have meant extra work and hence extra costa for che non-auChorized Cravei agency and would still have left some doubt in the mind of the customer as to the real chances of obtaining the entrance tickecs.
Denne begrænsning følger også af selve ordlyden i artiklen, der omhandler transaktioner, hvor en virksomhed køber en vare for at videresælge den.
This rescriccion is also evident in che wording of Che Article, which covers Cransaccions in which one party purchases a good for resale.
En sådan fremgangsmåde ville således placere rejse bureauer uden adgangsbilletter i en ufordelagtig konkurrencemæssig situation i forhold til de af 90
This sort of procedure thus placed agencies that did not have tickecs ac a competitive disadvantage vis-à-vis the agencies authorized by 90 Tour Italia, which were the only ones that were able to state in their advertising that they were able Co guarantee entrance tickecs.
(100) Sidanne købs- og videresalgstransakdoner kan ikke finde sted med tjenesteydelser.
(100) Such purchasing and reselling transactions cannot be applied to services.
(108) Denne argumentation kan dog ikke godtages af følgende tre årsager:
if the parties did not wish to conclude an exclu­sive contract, there is no reason why they should have incorporated such a clause in the contract,
(101) Det mi derfor konkluderes, at tjenesteydelser ikke falder ind under anvendelsesområdet for forordning nr. 19/65/EØF.
(101) It must therefore be concluded that services are excluded from the scope of Council Regulation (BBC) No 19/65/EEC.
— for det første er det uforståeligt at aftalen inde holder en sidan bestemmelse, hvis parterne ikke havde ønsket at indgå en eneforhandlingsaftale for det andet var eneforhandlingsaftalen allerede omtalt i den første aftale indgået mellem COL Italia og CIT/Italia Tour dateret den 26. juni 1987.
the first contract between the local organizing committee and CIT/Italia Tours, signed on 26 June 1987, already provided for such exclusi­vity.
Allerede fra denne dato var COL Italia altså afskåret fra at indgå en aftale med andre interesserede rejsearrangører
As from that date, the local organizing committee was thus not in a position to conclude a contract with any other interested tour operator,
(102) For forordning (EØF) nr. 1983/83 gælder siledes samme anvendelsesområde, nemlig »aftaler, hvori kun deltager to virksomheder, og hvorved den ene kontrahent over for den anden forpligter sig til udelukkende at levere bestemte varer til denne med henblik på videresalg i hele Fællesskabet eller i en begrænset del af dette«.
(102) Regulation (EEC) No 1983/83 is thus bound to have the same scope of application, defined as 'agreements to which only two undertakings are party and whereby one party agrees with the other to supply certain goods for resale within the whole or a defined area of the common market only to that other'.
for det tredje er det uforståeligt at parterne indgik en aftale om en økonomisk modydelse for eneretten, hvis parterne ikke havde ønsket en eneforhandlingsaftale.
if exclusivity had not been desired by the parties, there is no reason why the parties should have provided by contract for the finan­cial consideration in respect of such exclusivity.
(103) I sin meddelelse vedrørende ovennævnte forordning (BØF) nr. 1983/83(0 præciserede Kommissionen dette under nr. 11 : »Eksklusivaftaler, der ikke vedrører videresalg af varer, men derimod tjenesteydelser, er ikke omfattet af forordningerne«. ningerne«.
(103) In point 11 of its Notice concerning Regulation (EEC) No 1983/83 0, che Commission stipulated that 'exclusive agreements for the supply of services rather than the resale of goods are noe covered by the Regulation'.
(109) Under proceduren påstod parterne, at eventuelle konkurrencebegrænsninger var berettiget ud fra en sikkerheds synsvinkel. svinkel.
(109) During the proceeding, the parties claimed that any rescrictions of competition were justified by safety requirements.
(104) De aftaler, der er omfattet af nærværende procedure, vedrører levering pi eksklusiv basis af adgangsbilletter til fodboldkampe til inkorporering i pakkerejser omfattende transport, indkvartering og bespisning.
(104) The agreements to which this proceeding relates concern the supply on an exclusive basis of entrance tickets to grounds for the purpose of putting together package tours comprising trans­port, accommodation and meals.
(105) Det er derfor tydeligt at de pågældende aftaler vedrører levering af tjenesteydelser og siledes ikke falder ind under forordning (EØF) nr. 1983/83.
(105) It is thus obvious that the agreements relate to the supply of services and do not fall within the scope of application of Regulation (EEC) No 1983/83.
Adskillelsen af tilskuerne pi stadionerne efter nationalitet og deres sikkerhed omkring stationerne nødvendiggjorde, at kun en enkelt rejsearrangør fik adgang til at sammensætte pakkerejser med adgangsbilletter inkluderet med henblik pi salg pi verdensplan.
The separation of spectators within the grounds by nationality and the need for safety arrangements around the grounds, it was claimed, meant that only one tour operator could be authorized to put together the package tours comprising entrance tickets for sale at world level.
(106) Selv om de pågældende pakkerejser blev betragtet som varer, jf. artikel 1 i forordning (EØF) nr. 1983/ 83, ville de i forordningens artikel 3 nævnte betingelser for indrømmelse af fritagelse alligevel ikke være opfyldt
(106) Even if the package tours in question had been deemed to be goods within the meaning of Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1983/83, the conditions for exemption set out in Article 3 of the Regulation were not met
(110) Pi det juridiske plan har parterne tilkendegivet »t disse konkurrencebegrænsninger bør vurderes pi grundlag af EØF-Traktatens artikel 36, hvis bestemmelser har forrang over konkurrencereglerne i artikel 85.
(110) From the legal poinc of view, the parties argued that such restrictions of competition had to be examined in Che light of Article 36 of the Treaty, whose provisions cook precedence over the compe­tición rules laid down in Article 85.
Parterne har i denne forbindelse henvist til EF-Domstolens dom af 18. februar 1971 i sag 40/70 (Sirena/EdaH2).
The parties referred in this respect to the judgment of the Court of Justice in Case 40/70 Sirena v. Edaif).
For i strid med bestemmelserne i artikel 3, litra c), kunne forbrugerne i aftaleområdet kun købe pakkerejser med adgangsbilletter til kampene hos eneforhandleren eller dennes repræsentanter, og der fandtes heller ikke alternative leveringsmuligheder uden for aftaleområdet navnlig fordi aftaleområdet var hele verden.
Thus, conCrary Co the provisions of Article 3 (c), users could obtain the package tours with match entrance tickecs in the contract Cerricory only from the exclusive distributor or its representatives and had no alternative source of supply outside the contract territory, the contract territory being the entire world.
(111) Med hensyn til anvendelse af EØF-Traktatens artikel 36 har EF-Domstolen i den af parterne citerede Sirena-dom (sag 40/70) bla. præciseret at »selv om artikel 36 hører hjemme i kapidet om kvantitative restriktioner i samhandelen mellem medlems stater, ligger der til grund for den et princip, som ogsi kan finde anvendelse inden for konkurrence området således forstået «t serv om de ved en medlemsstats lovgivning indrømmede rettigheder på området for industriel og kommerciel ejendomsret ikke berøres i deres eksistens af Traktatens artikler 85 og 86, kan udøvelsen af den imidlertid rammes af forbuddene i disse bestemmelser·.
(107) With regard to the exclusive rights enjoyed by 90 Tour Italia, the representatives of the local organi­zing committee stated during the proceeding that such exclusive rights were de facto exclusive rights resulting from the lack of any other tour operator interested in concluding a contract with the local organizing committee.
(107) Hvad angår den eneret som 90 Tour fik indrømmet har repræsentanterne for COL Italia under proceduren erklæret at der var tale om en af omstændighederne pitvungen eneret da ingen andre rejsearrangører viste interesse for at indgå en aftale med COL Italia.
(Ill) With regard to the application of Article 36 of the EEC Treaty, the court of Justice held, in its judg­ment in Case 40/70 referred to by the parties, that 'Article 36, although it appears in the chapter of the Treaty dealing with quanticacive restrictions on trade between Member States, is based on a prin­ciple equally applicable to the question of competi­tion, in the sense that even if the rights recognized by the legislation of a Member State on the subject of industrial and commercial property are not affected, so far as their existence is concerned, by Articles 85 and 86 of the Treaty, their exercise may still fall under Che prohibitions imposed by those provisions'.

(■) OJ No C 101, 13. 4. 1984, p. 2.
(112) Af dommen mi det sluttes, at på samme mide som regierne for frie varebevægelser kan konkurrence reglerne sætte visse grænser for udøvelsen af industrielle ejendomsrettigheder.
(112) It must be deduced from this judgment thac, as in the case of the rules governing the free movement of goods, the competition rules may set limits to the exercise of induscrial property rights.
Parterne tager derimod udgangspunkt i den modsatte fortolkning, nemlig at artikel 36 sætter visse grænser for anvendelsen af konkurrencereglerne.
The argument put forward by the parties takes the oppposice line in that it claims that Article 36 sees limits eo the application of the competition rules.
(119) Kommissionen mener dog, at flere rejsearrangører, som ville have gjort samme salgsbetingelser gældende over for de rejsebureauer, de har godkendt til salg af deres pakkerejser, kunne have deltaget i markedet uden at bringe tilskuernes sikkerhed i fare.
(119) However, the Commission considers chac a number of tour operators imposing the same distribution conditions on travel agencies authorized to sell their package tours could have competed on the market without jeopardizing spectator safety.
(113) Hvis denne fortolkning lægges til grund, vil det under alle omstændigheder skulle godtgøres, jf. bestemmelserne i artikel 36, at de pågældende praksis ikke udgør skjulte konkurrencebegrænsninger og er nødvendige for at nå det fastsatte mål.
(113) At all eventa, even if this principle were accepted, it would be necessary to ensure that, in accordance with the provisions of Article 36, the practices in question did not constitute disguised restrictions of competition and that they were indispensable to the attainment of their objective.
(120) Kommissionen konstaterer, at repræsentanterne for COL Italia har erkendt denne mulighed under høringen, hvor de erklærede, at alle rejsearrangører, der opfyldte samme kriterier som 90 Tour, kunne være blevet udvalgt.
(120) The Commission notes that this possibility was acknowledged by the representatives of che local organizing committee during the hearing when they stated that any tour operators fulfilling the same criteria as 90 Tour Italia could have been selected.
(114) I sin redegørelse for sikkerhedsproblemerne har Sostituto Procuratore, som var ansvarlig for koordineringen af sikkerhedsforanstaltningerne under verdensmesterskabet ikke omtalt nødvendigheden af at indrømme en verdensomspændende eneret på forhandling af pakkerejser med adgangsbilleter inkluderet
(114) In his evidence on the problems of safety, the deputy procurator of the Republic, who was responsible for the coordination of safety arrange mencs during Che World Cup, did noe mención che need Co establish world exclusivity for the distribution of package tours inclusive of entrance tickets to the grounds.
(121) De pågældende aftaler blev ikke anmeldt til Kommissionen med henblik på indrømmelse af en fritagelse efter EØF-Traktatens artikel 85, stk. 3.
(121) The agreemencs in queseion were noe notified to the Commission with a view to exemption under Article 85 (3) of the EEC Treaty.
(122) Under alle omstændigheder er Kommissionen af den opfattelse, at aftalerne ikke opfylder de fornødne betingelser for en sådan fritagelse.
(122) In any case, the Commission considers that the agreements did not fulfil the conditions required for the granting of such exemption.
(115) Under høringen udtalte en repræsentant for COL Italia, at med hensyn til pakkerejserne ville enhver rejsearrangør, der var rede til at oprette et sekundært edb-system og koordinere det med BNL's system, have haft mulighed for at blive udvalgt.
(115) During the hearing, a representative of the local organizing committee stated, with regard to the package tours, that all the tour operators willing to create a computerized subsystem and ensure its coordination with that of BNL could have been selected.
Repræsentanten for COL Italia erklærede bla., at det ville have været muligt at udvælge »2, 15 eller 20· rejsearrangører (referat af høringen, side 89).
The local organizing committee's representative stated in particular that 'two, fifteen or twenty' tour operators could have been selected (see page 89 of the hearing record).
(123) Selv om det blev antaget at aftalerne kunne bidrage til en forbedring af fordelingen af billetter og pakkerejser, er Kommissionen nemlig af den opfattelse, at de medførte begrænsninger, som ikke var nødvendige for at nå de tilstræbte mål, og at de endvidere gav virksomhederne mulighed for at fjerne konkurrencen med hensyn til en væsentlig del af de pågældende tjenesteydelser.
(123) Even if it had been considered that the agreements could contribute Co improving lhe discribucion of tickets and package Cours, ehe Commission takes Che view chac che agreemencs imposed resericcions ChaC were noe indispensable Co Che attainment of Che objectives pursued and, moreover, afforded the undertakings the possibility of eliminating compe tition in respect of a substantial part of the services in question.
(116) Det må derfor af udtalelserne fra COL Italias repræsentant udledes, at 90 Tours eneret ikke var absolut nødvendig for sikkerheden under verdens mesterskabet
(116) It must therefore be concluded from the statements of the local organizing committee's representative himself that the world exclusive righes granced eo 90 Tour Italia were noe essencial in order Co ensure safety during the World Cup.
J. Påvirkning af handelen mellem medlemsstaterne
J. Effect on trade between Member States
Det følger heraf, at selv om princippet i artikel 36 fandt anvendelse i denne sag, stod 90 Tours verden somspændende eneret i et urimeligt forhold til det tilstræbte mål og kan således ikke begrundes i hensynet til sikkerheden.
Consequently, even if the principle of Article 36 of the Treaty could be applied to the present case, the world exclusive righes granced Co 90 Tour Icalia were disproportionate to the objective pursued and cannot therefore be justified by the need to main tain safety.
(124) De pågældende aftaler vedrørte eneforhandling af pakkerejser med adgangsbilletter inkluderet i EF og resten af verden uden mulighed for alternative leve ringskilder.
(124) The contracts related to the exclusive distribution of package tours inclusive of tickecs in Che CommuniCy and che rese of Che world, wichouc any possibility of alternative sources of supply.
Disse aftaler har derfor i væsentlig grad påvirket handelen mellem medlemsstaterne, for uden disse aftaler ville man have kunnet forvente en forøgelse af handelssamkvemmet på det pågældende marked for pakkerejser.
The concraccs chus appreciably affecced Crade between Member States, since, if they had not been concluded, trade on the market for such tours could have been expected to have been greater.
(117) Hvad angår pakkerejser med adgangsbilletter inkluderet er en streng kontrol med salget nødvendig.
(117) Wich regard Co package Cours inclusive of cickecs, strict control of ticket distribution was necessary.
Det er særlig vigtigt at de rejsearrangører, der har sammensat sidanne pakkerejser, har sikkerhed for, at de rejsebureauer, der efterfølgende forhandler pakkerejser, overholder de salgsbetingelser, rejsearrangørerne pilægger dem.
It was particularly important that a tour operator putting together such package tours should be able to make sure that the travel agencies distributing them downstream complied with the distribution conditions imposed by the tour operator.
(118) Af denne årsag finder Kommissionen det berettiget at rejsebureauer, som arrangørerne ikke havde nogen kontrol over, f.eks. det rejsebureau, der har indgivet klagen i denne sag, ikke fik adgang til at
(118) For this reason, the Commission considers it justified that travel agencies not controlled by the organizers, such as the agency which has brought the
(125) Der skal i denne sag tages hensyn til, at det er første gang, at Kommissionen skrider ind over for forhandlingen af billetter til et Sportsarrangement
(125) It must be borne in mind that this is the first time that the Commission has taken action on the distribution of tickets for a sporting event.
Desuden kompliceres sagen til en vis grad af de vigtige sikkerhedsspørgsmål.
Furthermore, this case involved undoubted complicating factors in view of major safety aspects.
Endelig blev overtrædelsen bragt til ophør med afslutningen af verdensmesterskabet i fodbold 1990.
Lastly, the infringement came to an end with the completion of the 1990 World Cup.
Artikel 2 Denne beslutning er rettet til : er
Article 2
Derfor finder Kommissionen ikke, at der grundlag for at pålægge aftaleparterne bøde.
Consequently, the Commission considers that fines should not be imposed on the parties to the agree mencs.
(126) Kommissionen finder imidlertid, at det har været nødvendigt at træffe en beslutning for at præcisere den redige stilling og hindre enhver fremtidig over trædelse af samme eller tilsvarende art I overens stemmelse med EF-Domstolens retspraksis, af 2. marts 1983 i sag 7/82 (GVL)('), har Kommissionen nemlig en berettiget interesse i at konstatere, at de pågældende aftaler har været i strid med EØF-Traktatens artikel 85 —
(126) However, che Commission considers ChaC a Deci sion is necessary in order to clarify Che legal position and prevent the same or any similar infringe ment from being committed in future. In accordance with the case law of the Court of Justice (Case 7/82, GVL v. Commission (')), the Commission therefore has a legitimate interest in finding that the contraccs infringed Article 85 of the Treaty,
FIFA FIGC, COL Italia, CIT SpA Italia Tour SpA og 90 Tour Italia SpA har overtrådt EØF-Traktatens artikel 85, stk. 1, for si vidt angår bestemmelserne i aftalerne af henholdsvis 26. juni 1987 og 11. februar 1988 indgiet mellem pi den ene side COL Italia, CIT SpA og Italia Tour SpA og pi den anden side 90 Tour Italia SpA som indebar, at 90 Tour Italia fik overdraget en verdensomspændende eneret pi levering af adgangsbilletter til inkorporering i pakkerejser til verdensmesterskabet i fodbold 1990.
FIFA, the FIGC, the local organizing committee Italia '90, CIT SpA, Italia Tour SpA and 90 Tour Italia SpA have infringed Article 85 (1) of the EEC Treaty as regards che provisions of the contracts of 26 June 1987 and 11 February 1988 concluded between the local organizing committee Italia '90 and CIT SpA and Italia Tour SpA, on the one hand, and 90 Tour Italia SpA, on the other, which provided for the exclusive supply at world level to 90 Tour Itaia SpA of ground entrance tickecs for che purpose of putting together package tours to the 1990 World Cup.
