Directive 92/5/EEC — Failure to transpose within the prescribed
I denne sag fastlægger den anfægtede forordning de endelige regionale referencebeløb for produktionsåret 1992/1993 for alle regioner i Fællesskabet og for alle Fællesskabets berørte producenter af oliefrø.
The Hellenic Republic does not deny that Directive 92/5 was not transposed within the prescribed period.
Disse endelige regionale referencebeløb fastlægges på grundlag af tre elementer, nemlig de forventede regionale referencebeløb som omhandlet i artikel 3, stk. 3, i forordning nr. 3766/91, »referenceprisen« som omhandlet i forordningens artikel 3, stk. 4, og i givet fald en eventuel overskridelse af det maksimale garantiareal som omhandlet i forordningens artikel 6, stk. 1 og 2.
It submits simply that the draft Presidential Decree drawn up for that purpose has been placed before the Council of State for final examination prior to being submitted for signature and published.
Disse tre elementer fastlægges på grundlag af generelle og abstrakte oplysninger, uden at der på nogen måde tages hensyn til individuelle producenters, såsom sagsøgernes, situation.
Since Directive 92/5 was not transposed within the prescribed period, the action brought in that regard by the Commission must be regarded as being well founded.
Det følger heraf, at den anfægtede forordning må betragtes som en almengyldig retsakt, der generelt og abstrakt gælder for de berørte producenter.
By application lodged at the Registry of the Court of Justice on 25 September 1995, the Commission of the European Communities brought an action for a declaration that, by failing to adopt and notify to it within the prescribed period the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with Council Directive 92/5/EEC of 10 February 1992 amending and updating Directive 77/99/EEC on health problems affecting intraCommunity trade in meat products and amending Directive 64/433/EEC (OJ 1992 L 57, p.

Under disse omstændigheder er det ene forhold, at sagsøgerne har indgivet de nødvendige ansøgninger og erklæringer, og at de allerede har modtaget et forskud, ikke tilstrækkeligt til at begrunde, at deres særlige interesser er blevet krænket i et sådant omfang, at de kan betragtes som individuelt berørt som omhandlet i dommen af 18. maj 1994 i sagen Codorniu mod Rådet.

Ved skrivelse af 12. maj 1994 anmodede sagsøgeren DAFSE om at få oplyst begrundelse for, at sagsøgte endnu ikke havde truffet nogen afgørelse vedrørende disse sager.
The applicant Martin Weber GdbR is a firm constituted under German civil law («Gesellschaft des bürgerlichen Rechts») and managed by Martin and Maria Weber, its only members.
Den 24. juli 1987 fik sagsøgeren udbetalt et forskud.
It operates an agricultural holding of 42 hectares in Bavaria which is used in part for the cultivation of colza.
Efter afslutningen af uddannelsesprogrammerne, som blev afholdt i tidsrummet 1. januar 1987 til 31. december 1987, anmodede sagsøgeren DAFSE om udbetaling af de resterende saldobeløb.
By order of 30 March 1994, the Court of First Instance (First Chamber) provisionally rectified the designation of the applicant by adding to Martin Weber GdbR the names of its members, Martin and Maria Weber, also regarded as applicants, in their capacity as natural persons.
Sagsøgeren har nedlagt følgende påstande:
The applicants claim that the Court should:
DAFSE meddelte ved to skrivelse af 24. april 1989 sagsøgte, at det havde suspenderet udbetalingen af saldobeløbet.
Under the second paragraph of Article 173 of the EEC Treaty (now reconstituted as the fourth paragraph of Article 173 of the EC Treaty), the admissibility of proceedings brought by a natural or legal person for annulment of a regulation is subject to the condition that the provisions of the regulation at issue in the proceedings constitute in reality a decision of direct and individual concern to the applicant.
Den 30. juli 1990 meddelte DAFSE sagsøgte, at det havde fundet, at visse udgifter ikke var tilskudsberettigede, og at det havde anordnet tilbagebetaling af de tilsvarende beløb, som det havde udbetalt sagsøgeren i forskud.

Kommissionens afgørelse, der blev meddelt sagsøgeren ved skrivelse af 25. maj 1994 fra DAFSE og ved skrivelse af 16. juni 1994 fra Kommissionen, og hvorved Kommissionen tog stilling til anmodningen om at udbetale saldobeløbet i sagen om tilskud fra fonden, annulleres for så vidt visse af sagsøgerens fremlagte udgifter i denne afgørelse ikke fandtes at være tilskudsberettigede og sagsøgeren deri blev pålagt:
In the present case, the contested regulation establishes, for all regions of the Community and for all Community producers of the oilseeds concerned, the final regional reference amounts
Det tilkommer således Kommissionen og ikke medlemsstaten at afgøre, om de af støttemodtageren afholdte udgifter var i overensstemmelse med betingelserne, som Kommissionen havde fastsat i godkendelsesbeslutningen, idet medlemsstaten alene skal samarbejde med Kommissionen med henblik på at sikre betingelsernes overholdelse.
of a measure are not called in question by the fact that it is possible to determine more or less precisely the number or even the identity of the persons to whom it applies at any given time, as long as it is established that it applies to them by virtue of an objective legal or factual situation defined by the measure in question.
Det må i denne sag undersøges, om sagsøgte har truffet en afgørelse om at nedsætte tilskuddet.
That is the position in the present case.
b) i sag 870301 PI: at tilbagebetale 4 399 475 ESC tU fonden og 3 599 570 ESC til den portugisiske stat, idet der meddeltes sagsøgeren afslag på betaling af 8 589 002 ESC fra fonden og 7 027 365 ESC fra den portugisiske stat
for the 1992/93 marketing year. Those final regional reference amounts are established in accordance with three factors, namely the projected regional reference amounts provided for in Article 3(3) of Regulation No 3766/91, the «reference price» referred to in Article 3(4) of that regulation, and, where appropriate, the extent to which the maximum guaranteed area laid down in Article 6(1) and (2) of that regulation is exceeded.
Retten bemærker hertil, at for at en retsakt skal kunne anses for en beslutning, skal dens adressater klart være i stand til at erkende, at der er tale om en sådan retsakt.
Nevertheless, the applicants further maintain that the contested regulation has adversely affected the «firmly established legal position» which was theirs at the time of its adoption.
I dette tilfælde er den nationale myndighed indtrådt i Kommissionens rettigheder, herunder rettigheden til at nedsætte et tilskud.
Each of those factors is determined on the basis of data of a general and abstract nature, without taking any account of the situation of individual producers such as the applicants.
Tværtimod angiver DAFSE heri årsagerne til, at Kommissionen ikke finder at burde træffe en sådan afgørelse, når den nationale myndighed, som i denne sag, selv beslutter at nedsætte tilskuddet.
It follows that the contested regulation must be regarded as a measure of general application directed, on a general and abstract basis, to all the Community producers concerned.
Denne skrivelse kan derfor ikke anses for at have meddelt sagsøgeren en sådan afgørelse.
The position is the same as regards the final regional reference amount of ECU 517 per hectare fixed for Bavaria.
Det er følgelig ikke godtgjort, at sagsøgte har truffet en afgørelse om at nedsætte tilskuddene eller om ikke at udbetale saldobeløbet.
As regards the argument that the contested regulation is of individual concern to the applicants because they belong to a «closed class», the Court finds that, in consequence of their application of 24 May 1992, their harvest declaration of 23 August 1992 and the acknowledgement by the competent authorities on 23 September 1992 of their entitlement to an advance payment, the applicants in fact formed part, at the time when the contested regulation was adopted, of a fixed number of producers, namely those who had (1) sown the seed for the 1992/93 harvest in accordance with the conditions laid down, (2) lodged an application containing the data and declarations required, (3) submitted a harvest declaration and (4) received an advance payment equal to 50% of the projected regional reference amount.
Retten kan derfor under disse omstændigheder kun fastslå, at der ikke i denne sag foreligger en retsakt, der kan anfægtes.
However, as the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance have consistently held, the general application and hence the general nature
Det er imidlertid Kommissionen, der træffer afgørelse vedrørende anmodningerne om udbetaling af saldobeløbene og beføjelsen til at nedsætte et tilskud fra fonden, tilkommer alene Kommissionen. Det følger heraf, at Kommissionen i forhold til modtageren af tilskud fra fonden ifalder det retlige ansvar for beslutningen om at nedsætte tilskud, uanset om den nationale myndighed har indstillet, at der skete en sådan nedsættelse.
In those circumstances, the mere fact that the applicants lodged the necessary applications and declarations, and that they were already in receipt of an advance payment, is not such as to establish that their specific rights have been adversely affected to such an extent that they must be regarded as individually concerned within the meaning of the judgment in Codorniu ν Council.

EBU er en sammenslutning uden kommercielt sigte af radio- og tv-selskaber.
Article 3 of the Statutes, in the version of 3 July 1992, reads as follows:
Artikel 3 i EBU's vedtægter, som affattet den 3. juli 1992, lyder således:
There are two categories of EBU members:
EBU har to kategorier af medlemmer:
— active members
De skal være forpligtede til at have og skal faktisk have et varieret og alsidigt programudbud, der henvender sig til alle dele af befolkningen, og en rimelig del af programmerne skal tilgodese særlige/minoritære interesser hos forskellige dele af publikum, uanset forholdet mellem omkostningerne og udsendelsernes lytter-/seer-tal.
According to Article 2 of its Statutes, as amended on 3 July 1992, its objectives are to represent its members' interests in the field of programmes and in the legal, technical and other spheres and in particular to promote radio and television programme exchanges by all possible means — for example, Eurovision and Euroradio ­ and any other form of cooperation among its members and with other broadcasting organizations or groups of such organizations, and also to assist its active members in negotiations of all kinds and, when asked, to negotiate on their behalf.
De skal faktisk producere og/eller lade producere en væsentlig del af de udsendte programmer, således at de i sidstnævnte tilfælde selv fører kontrol med programindholdet.«
(a) they are under an obligation to cover the entire national population and in fact already cover at least a substantial part thereof, while using their best endeavours to achieve full coverage in due course;
Indtil den 1. marts 1988 var det udelukkende medlemmerne, der havde adgang til EBU's og Eurovision's ydelser.
On 4 April 1990 the EBU informed it that, in view of the need to adapt certain EBU rules, no new members would be admitted before early 1991.
I forbindelse med ændringen af EBU's vedtægter i 1988 blev der imidlertid indsat et nyt stykke i artikel 3 (stk. 6), hvorefter associerede EBU-medlemmer og selskaber, der ikke er medlem af EBU, kan få kontraktmæssig adgang til Eurovision.
Eventually, its membership application was rejected by decision of the EBU Administrative Council, which was notified to the applicant by letter of 3 June 1991.
Den 3. april 1989 indgav EBU en anmeldelse til Kommissionen af reglerne for erhvervelse af tvrettigheder til sportsarrangementer, for udveksling af sportsprogrammer inden for Eurovision og for tredjemands kontraktmæssige adgang til sådanne programmer, og anmodede samtidig om negativattest, subsidiært fritagelse i henhold til traktatens artikel 85, stk. 3.1 henhold til de pågældende regler kunne tredjemand få kontraktmæssig adgang til de tvrettigheder til sportsarrangementer, som EBU's medlemmer erhvervede i medfør af aftaler inden for rammerne af Eurovision, gennem en ordning, hvorefter EBU eller dens medlemmer meddelte underlicenser, som gjorde det muligt for ikkemedlemmer at supplere deres egne sports- og nyhedsprogrammer, såfremt de ikke selv havde erhvervet transmissionsrettighederne på markedet.
Factual background they are under an obligation to, and actually do, provide varied and balanced programming for all sections of the population, including a fair share of programmes catering for special/minority interests of various sections of the public, irrespective of the ratio of programme cost to audience;
I henhold til det såkaldte »embargoprincip« kunne ikkemedlemmer normalt kun erhverve ret til forskudte transmissioner.
(c) they actually produce and/or commission under their own editorial control a substantial proportion of the programmes broadcast.»
Det fremgår af sagens akter, at Métropole Télévision (herefter »M6«) siden sin oprettelse fem gange (i 1987,1988,1989,1990 og 1993) har ansøgt om optagelse i EBU som aktivt medlem. Den sidste ansøgning, som blev indgivet den 8. februar 1993, blev afvist ved skrivelse af 6. juli 1993 fra EBU's generalsekretær, hvori det bl.a. hedder: »I overensstemmelse med de interne retningslinjer for fortolkningen af betingelserne for medlemskab må M6 i sin egenskab af et kommercielt radio- og tv-selskab som udgangspunkt (medmindre det modsatte bliver bevist) anses for ikke at opfylde betingelserne for at blive aktivt medlem af EBU. ...
Following a complaint from the television channel Screensport relating to the refusal of the EBU and its members to grant it sub-licences for the retransmission of sports events, on 12 December 1988 the Commission sent the EBU a first statement of objections, declaring that the granting of an exemption to the rules governing the acquisition and the use of television rights to sports events within the framework of the Eurovision System could be envisaged provided that the EBU and its members accepted an obligation to grant nonmembers sub-licences for a substantial part of the rights in question and on reasonable terms.
(EBU's bestyrelse) har ganske vist kunnet konstatere, at M6 siden 1990 har udviklet i positiv retning med hensyn til såvel dækning som programudbud, men bestyrelsen har ikke fundet, at der er tilstrækkeligt grundlag for at nå frem til et andet resultat«.
Until 1 March 1988 the benefit of the services of the EBU and Eurovision was exclusively reserved to their members. However, when the Statutes were amended in 1988 a new paragraph was added to Article 3 providing that contractual access to Eurovision may be granted to associate members and nonmembers of the EBU.
Den 24. juni 1991 sendte Kommissionen EBU en supplerende meddelelse af klagepunkter, hvori den fastslog, at underlicensordningen ikke var acceptabel.
On 3 April 1989 the EBU notified to the Commission its rules on the acquisition of television rights to sports events, the exchange of sports broadcasts in the context of Eurovision and contractual access of third parties to such broadcasts, and at the same time sought negative clearance or, failing that, an exemption under Article 85(3) of the Treaty.
Den 8. november 1991 forelagde EBU Kommissionen en ny ordning for den kontraktmæssige adgang for selskaber, der ikke er medlemmer af EBU, hvori de fleste af den tidligere ordnings bestemmelser, der var blevet kritiseret af tredjemand, ifølge Kommissionen var fjernet.
Under those rules, third parties' contractual access to television rights in respect of sports events acquired by EBU members pursuant to agreements concluded within the framework of Eurovision took place through a scheme whereby the EBU or its members granted sub-licences enabling nonmembers to complete their own sports and news programmes in so far as they had not themselves acquired retransmission rights on the market.
Ved skrivelse af 27. marts 1990 ansøgte Antena 3 EBU om at blive aktivt medlem.
On 24 June 1991 the Commission sent the EBU a second statement of objections, declaring that the sub-licensing scheme «was not acceptable».
Ansøgningen om optagelse blev endelig afvist ved en beslutning fra EBU's bestyrelse, som blev meddelt sagsøgeren ved skrivelse af 3. juni 1991.
Subsequently, on 8 November 1991, the EBU submitted a new scheme governing contractual access for nonmembers Hum which, according to
Kommissionen vedtog beslutningen, efter at EBU den 26. februar 1993 efter aftale med Kommissionen havde fremlagt en ny, ændret version af reglerne for underlicensordningen.
It appears from the case-file that, since it was formed, M6 has submitted five applications to join the EBU as an active member (in 1987, 1988, 1990 and 1993).
På baggrund af en klage fra tv-kanalen Screensport over EBU's og EBU's medlemmers afslag på at give Screensport underlicens til retransmission af sportsarrangementer sendte Kommissionen den 12. december 1988 EBU sin første meddelelse af klagepunkter, hvori den fastslog, at reglerne for erhvervelse og anvendelse af tvrettigheder til sportsarrangementer inden for Eurovision ville kunne fritages, hvis EBU og EBU's medlemmer ville forpligte sig til at
That letter, from the Secretary General of the EBU, stated in particular that: «In accordance with EBU internal guidelines relating to the interpretation of the criteria to be fulfilled in order to become a member, M6, as a commercial broadcasting organization, must be regarded prima facie (in the absence of proof to the contrary) as not satisfying the requirements for being an active member of the EBU. (...)
og erhvervelse af rettigheder desuden EBU's medlemmer mulighed for at styrke deres markedsstilling på bekostning af deres selvstændige konkurrenters (betragtning 51).
Substance the Commission, most of the clauses of the previous sub-licensing scheme that had been criticized by interested third parties had been removed.
Det fastslås i øvrigt i beslutningen, at reglerne for optagelse i EBU (bl.a. indeholdt i vedtægternes artikel 3, stk. 3) til en vis grad fordrejer konkurrencen over for rent kommercielle kanaler, der ikke kan blive aktive medlemmer (betragtning 50).
The Commission adopted the Decision after, on 26 February 1993, the EBU had presented a new version of the rules of the sub-licensing scheme which had been revised in agreement with the Commission.
For det første kan Kommissionen kun meddele en individuel fritagelse, hvis aftalen eller vedtagelsen inden for en sammenslutning af virksomheder opfylder alle de fire betingelser i traktatens artikel 85, stk. 3.
The Court considers that it should consider the plea common to the four applications alleging essentially that Article 85(3) of the Treaty was erroneously interpreted and incorrectly applied.
Ifølge beslutningen frembyder Eurovision og de regler, der ligger til grund herfor, imidlertid en række fordele i artikel 85, stk. 3's forstand i forbindelse med den fælles erhvervelse og deling af rettighederne, udvekslingen af signalet og transport af signalet over det fælles net samt den kontraktmæssige adgang for selskaber, der ikke er medlemmer (betragtning 58).
It will be appropriate to consider the two limbs of that plea in succession: the first relates to the discriminatory nature of the EBU's membership rules, which, it is argued, should have precluded exemption under Article 85(3)(a); the second to the taking into account, for the purposes of the application of that provision, of the concept of particular public mission which, according to the Decision, members of the EBU have to fulfil.
Der knyttes to betingelser til den meddelte fritagelse.
Plea alleging infringement of Article 85(3) of the Treaty
Ifølge betragtning 72 ff. er de konkurrencebegrænsninger, der følger af reglerne om medlemskab, imidlertid nødvendige i traktatens artikel 85, stk. 3, litra a)'s forstand.
The EBU's membership rules having regard to Article 85(3)(a) of the Treaty
Med henblik på at vurdere beslutningens lovlighed i så henseende skal Retten efter fast retspraksis — ligesom Kommissionen skulle gøre det — først undersøge, om reglerne om medlemskab er objektive og tilstrækkelig præcise til, at de kan anvendes ens og uden forskelsbehandling over for alle mulige aktive medlemmer.
The Decision finds that the object and effect of the internal provisions and other regulations of the EBU governing the joint negotiation, acquisition and sharing of television rights to sports events and the related case-by-case agreements between members of the EBU is greatly to restrict, if not, in many cases, eliminate, competition between them, contrary to Article 85(1) of the Treaty (points 47, 48 and 49).
Der kan nemlig kun foretages en korrekt vurdering af, om de konkurrencebegrænsninger, der følger af reglerne, er nødvendige, hvis denne betingelse er opfyldt.
The Decision further finds that the rules governing membership of the EBU (laid down in particular in Article 3(3) of its Statutes) distort to some extent competition vis-à-vis purely commercial channels, which are not admitted as active members (point 50).
