DENNE PUBLIKATION UDARBEJDES AF DOMSTOLENS INFORMATIONSTJENESTE MED HENBLIK PX EN HURTIG ORIENTERING OM ARBEJDET VED DOMSTOLEN.
HOWEVER, ONLY THE COMPLETE TEXT OF THE JUDGMENTS AND OPINIONS PUBLISHED LATER IN THE REPORTS OF CASES BEFORE THE COURT IS AUTHENTIC.
Ved stævninger, indgivet den 7. april 1988, havde Den Hellenske Republik og Sammenslutningen af Cedratproducenter på Kreta anlagt sag med påstand om annullation af Kommissionens beslutning 88/438/EØF om ændring af beslutning 86/614/EØF om bemyndigelse af Grækenland til at træffe forskellige beskyttelsesforanstaltninger i henhold til Traktatens artikel 108, stk. 3.
By applications lodged on 7 April 1988, the Hellenic Republic and the Crete Citron Producers' Association sought the annulment of Commission Decision 88/438/EEC amending Decision 86/614/EEC authorizing Greece to take certain safeguard measures under Article 108(3) of the Treaty.
Ved stævning, indgivet den 27. januar 1989, havde Sammenslutningen også anlagt sag med påstand om annullation af artikel 1, stk. 2, i Kommissionens beslutning 88/600/EØF om forlængelse og ændring af beslutning 85/594/EØF om bemyndigelse af Grækenland til at træffe forskellige beskyttelsesforanstaltninger i henhold til EØF-Traktatens artikel 108, stk. 3, og navnlig til at yde støtte til eksport af syltede frugtskaller.
By an application lodged on 27 January 1989, the Association also sought the annulment of the second paragraph of Article 1 of Commission Decision 88/600/EEC renewing and amending Decision 85/594/EEC authorizing the Hellenic Republic to take certain protective measures pursuant to Article 108(3) of the EEC Treaty and in particular to grant aid for the export of candied fruit peel.
Sagsøgerne betaler sagens omkostninger."
The applicants are ordered to pay the costs."
Generaladvokat Walter Van Gerven fremsatte forslag til afgørelse den 23,. januar 199ΊΤΤ " *"
Mr Advocate General Walter Van Gerven delivered his Opinion at the sitting on 23 January 1990.
Han foreslog:
He proposed that the Court should:
"1. at sag C-111/88 antoges til realitetsbehandling, men at sagsøgte blev frifundet, og at Den Hellenske Republik betalte sagens omkostninger, herunder omkostningerne i forbindelse med sagen om foreløbige forholdsregler; regler;
Declare the application in C-lll/88 admissible but unfounded and order the Hellenic Republic to pay the costs, including those in connexion with the application for interim measures;
2. at sag C-112/88 afvistes (subsidiært, at sagsøgte blev frifundet) og at sagsøgeren betalte sagens omkostninger, herunder omkostningerne i forbindelse med sagen om foreløbige forholdsregler;
Declare the application in Case C-112/88 inadmissible (in the alternative, unfounded) and order the applicant to pay the costs, Including those in connexion with the application for interim measures;
3. at sag C-20/89 afvistes (subsidiært, at sagsøgte blev frifundet), og at sagsøgeren betalte sagens omkostninger".
Declare the application in C-20/89 Inadmissible (in the alternative, unfounded) and order the applicant to pay the costs".
Ved stævning, indleveret den 10. maj 1988, havde Kommissionen anlagt sag med påstand om, at det statuerede, at Den Hellenske Republik havde tilsidesat sine forpligtelser efter Traktatens artikel 95, stk. 1, idet den gennem opkrævning af en særlig forbrugsafgift og en særlig supplerende enhedsafgift havde ind ført og opretholdt en afgiftsordning, som indebærer forskelsbehandling af automobiler med et cylindervolumen på over 1800 cm3, som importeres fra de Øvrige medlemsstater.
By an application lodged at the Court Registry on 10 May 1988, the Commission brought an action for a declaration that by establishing and maintaining, in the form of the special consumption tax and the single supplementary special tax, a system of taxation which discriminates against new and used cars with a cylinder capacity in excess of 1800 cc imported from other Member States, the Hellenic Republic had failed to fulfil its obligations under the first paragraph of Article 95 of the Treaty.
Kommissionens klagepunkt var navnlig, at de to afgifter udgjorde et brud på progressiviteten for så vidt angår afgiftens omfang for automobiler med et cylindervolumen over 1800 cm3.
The Commission complained particularly that those two taxes constituted a breach In the progressive increase in rates above the threshold of 1800 cc.
Herom bemærkede Domstolen, at artikel 95 ikke indeholder hjemmel til at gribe ind over for det eventuelt excessive afgiftsniveau, som medlemsstaterne ud fra socialpolitiske overvejelser måtte indføre for bestemte produkter.
It was important to stress in that regard that Article 95 of the Treaty did not allow any disapproval to be expressed of excessive taxation levels which Member States might specify for particular goods on social policy grounds.
Som tidligere statueret fandt Domstolen, at medlemsstaterne på fællesskabsrettens nuværende udviklingstrin frit kan indføre en afgiftsordning, hvorved produkter såsom automobiler pålægges en afgift, som stiger progressivt efter et objektivt kriterium, såsom cylindervolumenet, dog forudsat afgiftsordningen ikke har diskriminerende eller protektionistiske virkninger.
As the Court had previously held, Member States were free under Community law as it presently stood to make goods such as motor vehicles subject to a system of taxation Increasing at a progressive rate in accordance with an objective criterion, such as cylinder capacity, provided, however, that such a system of taxation was in no way discriminatory or protective in its effect.
Domstolen konkluderede, at selv om det antoges, at den påtalte afgiftsordning, sådan som den var udformet, ville afholde visse forbrugere fra at købe automobiler med et cylindervolumen på over 1800 cm3, som alle er fremstillet i udlandet, ville disse forbrugere i så fald enten vælge en model i gruppen af automobiler med et cylindervolumen på mellem 1600 og 1800 cm3 eller en model i gruppen under 1600 cm3.
In cases where the operation of the taxation system in question actually deterred some consumers from purchasing motor vehicles with a cylinder capacity greater than 1800 cc, all of which were built in other States, those consumers would either choose a model in the vehicle range between 1600 and 1800 cc cylinder capacity, or one in the range below 1600 cc cylinder capacity.
Alle modellerne i den førstnævnte gruppe var imidlertid også fremstillet i udlandet, mens den anden gruppe omfattede såvel de udenlandsk fremstillede som de græske automobiler.
All models in the first range were also built in other States, while the second range included both vehicles built in other States and vehicles built in Greece.
Følgelig havde Kommissionen ikke påvist, på hvilken måde den påtalte afgiftsordning skulle begunstige salget af græske automobiler.
The Commission had therefore failed to demonstrate how the system of taxation in question could have had the effect of favouring the sale of motor vehicles built in Greece.
Generaladvokat Jean Mischo havde fremsat forslag til afgørelse den 22. februar
Mr Advocate General Jean Mischo delivered his Opinion at the sitting on 22 February 1990.
Han sammenfattede sit forslag således: "Jeg foreslår Domstolen at statuere, at Den Hellenske Republik har tilsidesat sine forpligtelser efter EØF-Traktatens artikel 95, stk. 2, idet den gennem opkrævning af en særlig forbrugsafgift og en særlig supplerende enhedsafgift har anvendt en afgiftsordning, som indebærer forskelsbehandling af de automobiler med et cylindervolumen på over 1800 cm3, som er importeret fra de Øvrige medlemsstater.
He concluded as follows: "I would suggest that the Court should rule that by applying, through the special consumption tax and the single supplementary special tax, a system which discriminates against new and used cars with a cylinder capacity greater than 1800 cc imported from other Member States, the Hellenic Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under the first paragraph of Article 95 of the EEC Treaty.
Selv om Kommissionen med urette har antaget under den mundtlige forhandling, at sagen også vedrørte metoden for beregningen af importerede, brugte automobilers afgiftspligtige værdi, finder jeg ikke, at dette bør have følger for fordelingen af sagens omkostninger. Jeg skal derfor foreslå Domstolen at til pligte Den Hellenske Republik at betale sagens omkostninger".
Even though the Commission incorrectly stated, during the oral procedure, that its application also related to the method by which the value of imported second-hand vehicles is determined, I do not believe that this ought to have any bearing on the question of costs, which I would suggest that the Hellenic Republic be ordered to pay."
Ved dom af 24. marts 1989, indkommet til Domstolen den 5. april s.a., havde Cour du travail de Liège forelagt tre præjudicielle spørgsmål vedrørende fortolkningen af Traktatens artikler 48 og 51 og artiklerne 12, stk. 2, og 46 i Rådets forordning (EØF) nr. 1408/71.
By a judgment of 24 March 1989, which was received at the Court on 5 April 1989, the Cour du Travail [Labour Court], Liège, referred three questions to the Court for a preliminary ruling on the interpretation of Articles 48 and 51 of the Treaty and of Articles 12 (2) and 46 of Regulation (EEC) No. 1408/71 of the Council.
Spørgsmålene var stillet som led i en tvist, som drejer sig om, at ONP havde afvist at yde Augusto Pian, der har bopæl i Italien, og som dér oppebærer en italiensk invalidepension, en belgisk førtidspension som følge af, at han i 20 år havde arbejdet som lønmodtager i Belgien, idet det anførtes, at der efter gældende belgisk lovgivning ikke kan udbetales alderspension, såfremt den pågældende oppebærer invalidepension i henhold til en anden medlemsstats lovgivning, og Pian, der er født den 9. juni 1922, ikke opfyldte den i belgisk lovgivning fastsatte aldersgrænse (65 år), da han indgav ansøgningen om førtidspension, den 4. juni 1982.
Those questions were raised in proceedings which concerned the refusal by the ONP to grant to Mr Augusto Pian, who was domiciled in Italy and received an Italian invalidity pension, an early retirement pension based on his 20 years of employment in Belgium, on the grounds that the Belgian legislation in force did not allow a retirement pension to be paid where the person concerned already received an invalidity pension under the benefits system of another State and that Mr Plan, who was born on 9 June 1922, did not satisfy the age requirement (65 years), laid down by the Belgian legislation, when he applied on 4 June 1982.
Domstolen besvarede spørgsmålene således:
The Court held as follows:
Oppebærer en arbejdstager eller en selvstændig erhvervsdrivende pension alene på grundlag af nationale lovbestemmelser, er bestemmelserne i forordning nr. 1408/71 ikke til hinder for, at den
Where an employed or self-employed person receives a pension by virtue of national legislation alone, the provisions of Regulation No. 1408/71 do not preclude that legislation alone from being applied to him in Its entirety, including any national rules against overlapping of benefits, unless the application of that national legislation proves to be less favourable to him than that of the provisions laid down in
I sidstnævnte tilfælde skal bestemmelserne i artikel 46 anvendes under hensyntagen til, at nationale bestemmelser om, at en ydelse skal nedsattes, stilles i bero eller bortfalde, i henhold til forordningens artikel 12, stk. 2, ikke finder anvendelse, såfremt den pågældende oppebærer ydelser af samme art ved invaliditet, alderdom, dødsfald (pensioner) eller erhvervssygdom, der fastsættes af institutionerne i de forskellige medlemsstater. En førtidspension og en invalidepension skal anses som værende ydelser af samme art i henhold til forordningens artikel 12, stk. 2.
If the latter 1s the case, Article 46 must be applied, while bearing in mind that provisions for reduction, suspension or withdrawal under national legislation are not applicable by virtue of the final sentence in Article 12 (2) of the regulation, when the person concerned receives benefits of the same kind in respect of invalidity, old age, death (pensions) or occupational disease awarded by the Institutions of the different Member States.
Såfremt alene nationale bestemmelser finde anvendelse, henhører subsumptionen 1 forhold til antikumulationsreglerne i den pågældende lovgivning af en førtidspension, som alene udbetales 1 henhold til den pågælende stats lovgivning, og af en invalidepension, som er tilkendt i en anden medlemsstat, ikke under fællesskabsretten."
State 1s applied, the characterization, under the rules of that legislation against the overlapping of benefits, of an early retirement pension awarded under the legislation of that State alone and of an invalidity pension awarded by another Member State do not come within the scope of Community law."
Generaladvokat F.G. Jacobs fremsatte forslag til afgørelse den 7. februar 1990.
Mr Advocate General F.G. Jacobs delivered his Opinion at the sitting on 7 February 1990.
Han foreslog følgende besvarelse:
He proposed that the Court should answer the questions referred to it as follows:
Såfremt en person har ret til pension alene på grundlag af nationale lovbestemmelser, er bestemmelserne i forordning (EØF) nr. 1408/71 ikke til hinder for, at den pågældende lovgivning finder anvendelse i sin helhed, herunder de nationale antikumulationsbestemmelser og de nationale bestemmelser om subsumption af de ydelser, den pågældende oppebærer i henhold til en anden medlemsstats lovgivning og den aldersgrænse, hvor den pågældende får ret til at gå på pension.
Where a person is entitled to a pension by virtue of national legislation alone, the provisions of Regulation No. 1408/71 do not prevent that legislation from being applied to him in its entirety, including any national rules against overlapping benefits and any national rules concerning the characterization of benefits which he receives under the legislation of another Member State or concerning the age at which entitlement to the pension arises.
Såfremt anvendelsen af den pågældende nationale lovgivning imidlertid viser sig at være mindre gunstig end ordningen i forordning nr. 1408/71's artikel 46, er det bestemmelserne i sidstnævnte artikel, der finder anvendelse.
If, however, the application of that national legislation proves to be less favourable to him than application of the provisions laid down in Article 46 of Regulation No. 1408/71, the provisions of that Article must be applied.
I så fald finder artikel 46, stk. 3, anvendelse, bortset fra de nationale antikumulationsbestemmelser.
In the latter circumstances, Article 46 (3) is applicable to the exclusion of the rules against overlapping of benefits contained in the national legislation.
En førtidspension, der er erhvervet ret til i henhold til en medlemsstats lovgivning, og en invalidepension, der er erhvervet ret til i henhold til en anden medlemsstats lovgivning, skal anses som værende ydelser af samme art i henhold til artikel 12, stk. 2, i forordning (EØF) nr. 1408/71.
An early retirement pension to which a person is entitled under the legislation of one Member State, and an invalidity pension to which he is entitled under the legislation of another Member State, are to be regarded as benefits of the same kind within the meaning of Article 12 (2) of Regulation No. 1408/71.
Ved fastsættelsen af det i artikel 46, stk. 1, første punktum, i forordning (EØF) nr. 1408/71 omhandlede beløb er en anvendelse af nationale anitkumulationsbestemmelser følgelig udelukket".
Consequently, for the purpose of determining the amount referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 46 (1) of Regulation No. 1408/71, the application of national rules against overlapping is precluded."
Ved dom af 24. marts 1989, indkommet til Domstolen den 5. april s.a., havde Cour du travail de Liège forelagt tre præjudicielle spørgsmål vedrørende fortolkningen af Traktatens artikler 48 og 51 og artiklerne 12, stk. 2, og 46 i Rådets forordning (EØF) nr. 1408/71.
By a judgment of 24 March 1989, which was received at the Court on 5 April 1989, the Cour du Travail [Labour Court], Liège, referred three questions to the Court for a preliminary ruling on the interpretation of Articles 48 and 51 of the Treaty and of Articles 12 (2) and 46 of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 1408/71.
Spørgsmålene var stillet som led i en tvist, som drejer sig om, at ONP havde afvist at yde Ernesto Bianchin, der har bopæl i Italien, og som dér oppebærer en italiensk invalidepension, en belgisk fortidspension som følge af, at han i 8 år havde arbejdet som lønmodtager i Belgien, idet det anførtes, at der efter gældende belgisk lovgivning ikke kan udbetales alderspension, såremt den på gældende oppebærer invalidepension i henhold til en anden medlemsstats lovgivning, og Bianchin, der er født den 2. februar 1920, ikke opfyldte den i belgisk lovgivning fastsatte aldersgrænse (65 år), da han indgav ansøgningen om førtidspension, den 15. marts 1983.
Those questions were raised in proceedings which concerned the refusal by the ONP to grant to Mr Ernesto Bianchin, who was domiciled in Italy and received an Italian invalidity pension, an early retirement pension based on his 8 years of employment in Belgium, on the grounds that the Belgian legislation in force did not allow a retirement pension to be paid where the person concerned already received an invalidity pension under the benefits system of another State and that Mr Bianchin, who was born on 2 February 1920, did not satisfy the age requirement (65 years) laid down by the Belgian legislation, when he applied on 4 June 1982.
Domstolen besvarede de forelagte spørgsmål således:

Ved stævning, indgivet den 9. januar 1989, havde Kommissionen for De Europæiske Fællesskaber anlagt sag med påstand om, at det konstateres, at Kongeriget Belgien har undladt at opfylde de forpligtelser, som påhviler det i henhold til EØF-Traktatens artikel 5, idet det har vedtaget artikel 2 i kongelig anordning nr. 471 af 24. oktober 1986, hvorefter ventepenge og ventepengetillag til lærere, som udstationeres ved Europaskolerne, nedsættes med 50%, hvorved der pålægges Fællesskabets budget en yderligere udgift .
By an application lodged on 9 January 1989, the Commission of the European Communities brought an action seeking a declaration that by adopting Article 2 of Royal Decree No. 471 of 24 October 1986, reducing by 50% the secondment pay or the salary allowance granted to members of the teaching staff seconded to the European schools in circumstances which led to an increase in the burden on the Community budget, the Kingdom of Belgium had failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 5 of the EEC Treaty.

Generaladvokat Jean Mischo fremsatte forslag til afgørelse den 13. marts 1990.
Mr Advocate General Jean Mischo delivered his Opinion at the sitting on 13 March 1990.
Hans forslag lød således: "Der afsiges dom efter Kommissionens påstand, og det fastslås følgelig, at Kongeriget Belgien har undladt at opfylde de forpligtelser, som påhviler det i henhold til EØF-Traktatens artikel 5, idet det har vedtaget artikel 2 i kongelig anordning nr. 471 af 24. oktober 1986, hvorefter ventepenge og ventepengetillag til lærere, som udstationeres ved Europaskolerne, nedsættes med 50%, hvorved der pålægges Fællesskabets budget en yderligere udgift. Endvidere bør Kongeriget Belgien betale sagens omkostninger".
He proposed that the Court should "uphold the action brought by the Commission and declare that by adopting Article 2 of Royal Decree No. 471 of 24 October 1986, reducing by 50% the secondment pay or the salary allowance granted to members of the teaching staff seconded to the European schools in circumstances which lead to an increase in the burden on the Community budget, the Kingdom of Belgium has failed to fulfil Its obligations under Article 5 of the EEC Treaty, and also order the Kingdom of Belgium to pay the costs."
