'(1) Point 1 of Chapter I of the Annex relating to Article 2(1) of Council Directive 85/73/EEC of 29 January 1985 on the financing of health inspections and controls of fresh meat and poultrymeat, as amended by Council Directive 93/118/EC of 22 December 1993, is not sufficiently precise and unconditional directly to enable an individual to rely before the national courts on the obligation to pay the standard amount laid down therein, in the absence of transposition measures within the prescribed period, in order to oppose the collection by the administrative authorities of a Member State of fees higher than the standard amounts provided for in Directive 93/118, where the amount of the fees sought does not exceed the actual figure for costs incurred by the veterinary inspection services.
Ved appelskrift indleveret til Domstolens Justitskontor den 3. marts 1998 har selskabet Odette Nicos Petrides Co. Inc iværksat appel til prøvelse af dom aisagt den 17. december 1997 af Retten i Første Instans i sag T-152/95, Petrides mod Kommissionen (Sml. II, s. 2427, herefter »den anfægtede dom«), hvorved Retten frifandt Kommissionen for påstanden om, at
(2) Article 2(3) of Directive 85/73, as amended by Directive 93/118, should be interpreted as meaning that where a Member State has delegated authorisation to collect the fees to the local authorities, the "actual figure for the inspection costs" mentioned in that provision means the costs incurred by the local authorities in question, not the total costs incurred in the Member State'.
Rådets forordning (EØF) nr. 727/70 af 21. april 1970 om oprettelse af en fælles markedsordning for råtobak bestemmer, at afsætningen af tobak opkøbt af interventionsorganerne i medlemsstaterne til interventionsprisen skal ske således, at enhver forstyrrelse af markedet undgås, og således, at der sikres køberne lige adgang til varerne og ligelig behandling. Afsætningen sker på grundlag af prisbetingelser, der fastsættes i hvert enkelt tilfælde, bl.a. under hensyntagen til markedets udvikling og behov.
(Appeal — Action for compensation - Common organisation of the market in raw tobacco - Commission decisions rejecting bids in tendering procedures in respect of tobacco held by intervention agencies — Inadequate statement of reasons, principles of proportionality, equal treatment and the right to a fair hearing) (Third Chamber) whose business is processing and dealing in tobacco in Greece and elsewhere, took part in four tendering procedures organised by the Commission.
Tobakken sælges især ved licitation, idet Kommissionen kan fastsætte en minimumssalgspris for hvert parti eller beslutte, at licitationen skal være uden virkning. Hver af de bydende skal hos det pågældende interventionsorgan stille en sikkerhed, som blev fastsat til 0,7 ECU/kg tobak i baller.
For the first and third tendering procedures the Commission decided not to accept any of the tenderers' bids on the ground that, in view of the prices offered, there was a risk that the market might be disturbed.
I perioden mellem april 1990 og udløbet af 1991, deltog appellanten — et græsk selskab, som bearbejder og sælger tobak i Grækenland og i udlandet — i fire licitationer, som Kommissionen afholdt i denne periode.
By application lodged at the Court Registry on 3 March 1998 Odette Nicos Petrides Co. Inc. brought an appeal against the judgment of the Court of First Instance of 17 December 1997 in Case T-152/95 Petrides ν Commission [1997] ECR 11-2427 (hereinafter 'the contested judgment') which dismissed its application for an order requiring the Commission to pay damages under Article 178 and the second paragraph of Article 215 of the EC Treaty (now Articles 235 EC and 288 EC) as compensation for the damage resulting from certain action taken by it in managing the common organisation of the market in raw tobacco in the period 1990 to 1991.
Hvad angår den første og tredje licitation besluttede Kommissionen imidlertid ikke at acceptere de bud, de bydende havde afgivet, med den begrundelse, at de foreslåede priser indebar en risiko for forstyrrelse af markedet.
For the fourth tendering procedure, the appellant's bids were rejected as not fulfilling the tendering conditions.
Med hensyn til den anden licitation gav Kommissionen en anden af de bydende tilslag på det andet parti, men forkastede alle buddene på det første, det tredje og det fjerde parti, idet den påberåbte sig, at der var risiko for forstyrrelse af markedet.
It was against that background that, by application lodged at the Registry of the Court of First Instance on 24 July 1995, the appellant brought an action for compensation under the second paragraph of Article 215 of the Treaty.
Med hensyn til den anden licitation havde appellanten i første instans gjort gældende, at forkastelsen af dets bud ikke var begrundet i ønsket om ikke at forstyrre markedet, men i en påstået uvidenhed om markedspriserne hos Kommissionen.
Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 of the Council of 21 April 1970 on the common organisation of the market in raw tobacco provides that tobacco purchased by other intervention agencies of the Member States is to be disposed of in such a way as to avoid any disturbance of the market and to ensure equal access to goods and equal treatment of purchasers.
I forbindelse med den fjerde licitation blev sagsøgerens bud forkastet, fordi de ikke var i overensstemmelse med licitationsbetingelserne.
By the contested judgment, the Court of First Instance declared the action inadmissible as regards the first tendering procedure and dismissed it as regards the other three tendering procedures.
På denne baggrund anlagde sagsøgeren ved stævning indleveret til Rettens Justitskontor den 24. juli 1995 erstatningssøgsmål i medfør af traktatens artikel 215, stk. 2.
Such tobacco is to be offered for sale in particular by means of tendering procedures, the Commission being entitled to fix a minimum price for each lot or to award no contract.
Dette spørgsmål vedrører enten appellantens anbringende om tilsidesættelse af ligebehandlingsprincippet eller gyldigheden af en sådan licitation, som ikke er den foreliggende sags genstand.
In its appeal, the appellant contests the reasoning of the Court of First Instance regarding the illegality of the Commission's conduct.
Det samme gælder licitationsordningen i den foreliggende sag.
Commission failed to take account of market requirements'.
Der kan derfor heller ikke gives appellanten medhold i det fjerde anbringende.
Inadequacy of the statement of reasons regarding the existence of a disturbance of the market in relation to the second and third tendering procedures
Det første anbringende kan derfor ikke tages til følge.
That statement of reasons is clearly adequate.
tilsidesættelse af og princippet om
The first ground of appeal cannot therefore be upheld.
Anbringendet om kontradiktionsprincippet parternes ligestilling
Incorrect assessment of the facts for the purpose of applying the principle of proportionality in relation to the second tendering procedure
Der er i realiteten tale om et selvstændigt anbringende, som appellanten første gang har fremsat under appellen.
This ground of appeal raises a separate issue and has been put forward by the appellant for the first time in its appeal.
Heraf følger, at det andet anbringende må afvises.
It follows that the second ground of appeal is inadmissible.
Appellanten kunne under retsmødet fremsætte alle de bemærkninger vedrørende disse dokumenter, som selskabet fandt nødvendige, eller anmode om udsættelse af retsmødet for at gennemgå Kommissionens besvarelse, hvilket det ikke gjorde.
The appellant submits that the Court of First Instance failed to explain to what extent the aim of avoiding disturbance of the market in relation to the second and third tendering procedures had been attained.
Under disse omstændigheder kan appellanten ikke under appellen påberåbe sig en processuel garanti, som selskabet således har givet afkald på at gøre brug af.
It submits that the Court of First Instance should have indicated the reasons for which the award of a lot to another tenderer had not disturbed the tobacco market whereas the rejection of that bid would also have led to a higher price being bid for that lot, the reason given for rejecting the appellant's bid.
Anbringendet om forkert gengivelse af de beviser, appellanten havde fremlagt, ved undersøgelsen af, om ligebehandlingsprincippet blev overholdt i forbindelse med den anden licitation
Distortion of the clear sense of the evidence produced by the appellant in considering whether the principle of equal treatment had been observed in relation to the second tendering procedure
Retten fastslog, at det sagsøgende selskab ikke havde godtgjort, at Kommissionen havde behandlet to ensartede situationer forskelligt.
The Court of First Instance found that the appellant had failed to show that the Commission had treated two comparable situations differently.
Anbringendet om fejlagtig bedømmelse af appellantens anbringender vedrørende ligebehandlingsprincippet og forhøjelsen af sikkerheden i forbindelse med den fjerde licitation
As regards the second tendering procedure, the appellant maintained at first instance that the rejection of its bid was motivated not by a concern not to disturb the market but by unawareness of market prices on the part of the Commission.
Retten skulle tage stilling til de forskellige klagepunkter, appellanten havde fremsat, og det kan ikke af nogen af de grunde, appellanten har anført, sluttes, at Retten ikke har taget Kommissionens adfærd som helhed i betragtning, da den fastslog, at der ikke kunne gives appellanten medhold i anbringenderne om tilsidesættelse af proportionalitetsprincippet og Ugebehandlingsprincippet.
The Court of First Instance observed in that regard that any such unawareness was irrelevant in considering application of the principle of proportionality and that in any event that Commission decision had prompted the operators concerned to tender, in the third procedure, prices which were higher than those tendered for the same lots in the second tendering procedure.
Appellanten har blot henvist til, at referaterne fra møder i Forvaltningskomitéen for Tobak og Revisionsrettens særberetning har beviskraft, og gjort gældende, at Kommissionen ikke har taget hensyn til »pristilpasningsmekanismen, efter at kvaliteten Mavra var taget ud af et parti«.
The appellant merely contends that the abovementioned minutes of the Tobacco Management Committee and the Court of Auditors Special Report are conclusive and that the Commission disregarded 'the price adjustment mechanism after excluding the Mavra variety from a lot'.
Disse forhold, kan imidlertid ikke føre til en anden bedømmelse af de faktiske omstændigheder end den, Retten har foretaget uden at gengive de fremlagte beviser forkert
However, those factors provide no basis for calling in question the assessment of the facts which it undertook without distorting the clear sense of the evidence produced.
Der kan derfor ikke gives appellanten medhold i dette anbringende.
The ground of appeal must therefore be rejected.
Der kan derfor ikke gives appellanten medhold i anbringendet.
Infringement of Articles 1 and 6 of Regulation No 3389/73 and 7(2) of Regulation No 727/70
Anbringendet om tilsidesættelse af forordning nr. 3389/73
In rejecting the plea that the Commission's refusal to accept the appellant's bid in the second tendering procedure was not motivated by the need to avoid disturbance of the market, the Court of First Instance did not have to take a view on the question whether the lot awarded in the same tendering procedure could have secured a higher price in a new tendering procedure.
Anbringendet om tilsidesættelse af artikel 1 og 6 i forordning nr. 3389/73 og artikel 7, stk. 2, i forordning nr. 727/70
That question relates either to the appellant's plea alleging breach of the principle of equal treatment or to the validity of such a tendering procedure, which is not at issue in these proceedings.
Når Kommissionen beslutter, at en licitation skal være uden virkning på grund af risikoen for forstyrrelse af markedet, har den et vidt skøn
As regards the third tendering procedure, the Court of First Instance held that 'the applicant has produced no evidence to show that, by deciding on 16 November 1990 to reject all the tenders in order not to disturb the market, the
Fristen på 45 dage i forordning nr. 3389/73 er ved Kommissionens forordning (EØF) nr. 395/90 blevet nedsat til 20 dage med henblik på den fjerde licitation.
Where the Commission decides not to make an award because of the risk of disturbance of the market, it enjoys a wide power for the assessment of complex economic situations.
De to forordninger er af samme rang og retsgrundlaget for dem er det samme, nemlig artikel 7, stk. 4, i forordning nr. 727/70.
The fourth ground of appeal must therefore be rejected.
Det hedder i domskonklusionen:
This ground of appeal must therefore be rejected.
Generaladvokat D. Ruiz-Jarabo Colomer fremsatte forslag til afgørelse i retsmødet (Tredje Afdeling') den 23. februar 1999.
In preparation for the fourth tendering procedure, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 395/90 reduced to 20 days the period of 45 days provided for by Regulation No 3389/73.
Sag C-102/97 Kommissionen for De Europæiske Fællesskaber / Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland Miljø- og forbrugerbeskyttelse
Both regulations are of the same rank and both were adopted on the same legal basis, namely Article 7(4) of Regulation No 727/70.
Kommissionen har ligeledes anført, at de bestemmelser, som ifølge Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland er en gennemførelse af direktiv 75/439, som ændret, fastlægger de nærmere vilkår for regenerering af olieaffald, men ikke på nogen måde prioriterer regenerering.
(Failure of a Member State to fulfil obligations oils Transposition of the directive) (Fifth Chamber)
Gennemgangen af tysk lovgivning har vist, at det ikke i nogen af bestemmelserne udtrykkeligt er fastsat, at regenerering er prioriteret ved behandlingen af olieaffald.
The existence in a Member State of technical, economic and organisational constraints which prevent priority from being given to processing by regeneration makes it necessary to give effect to the subsidiary obligation to take the measures required to ensure that any combustion of waste oils is carried out under environmentally acceptable conditions, in accordance with the provisions of Directive 75/439.
Bestemmelsen må således opfattes som et udtryk for proportionalitetsprincippet, hvilket indebærer, at medlemsstaterne er forpligtet til at træffe passende foranstaltninger, som står i rimeligt forhold til det formål, som er, at behandlingen af olieaffald ved regenerering prioriteres, i den forstand, at grænsen for den positive forpligtelse er, at tekniske, økonomiske og organisatoriske hensyn gør sig gældende.
By application lodged at the Court Registry on 10 March 1997. the Commission of the European Communities brought an action for a declaration that, by failing to give priority to the recycling, rather than the thermal processing, of waste oils, notwithstanding that such processing is not precluded by any economic, technical or organisational constraints, the Federal Republic of Germany had failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 3(1) of Directive 75/439/EEC.
Et af hovedformålene med direktiv 87/101 var at prioritere regenerering af olieaffald.
In 1991, the German Government informed the Commission that Directive 87/101 had been transposed by several provisions.
I den foreliggende sag har Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland ikke truffet nogen konkrete foranstaltninger med henblik på at sikre, at regenerering af olieaffald prioriteres, og at den under sagen blot har henvist til sin egen definition af begrebet hensyn og til de eksisterende forhold i Tyskland i et forsøg på at begrunde, hvorfor der overhovedet ikke er truffet gennemførelsesforanstaltninger.
Only where waste oils are neither regenerated nor burned in acceptable ecological conditions are Member States subject to the even more subsidiary obligation to take the measures necessary to ensure their safe destruction or their controlled storage or tipping.
Såfremt der i en medlemsstat gør sig tekniske, økonomiske og organisatoriske hensyn gældende, der er til hinder for, at regenerering prioriteres, udløses den subsidiære forpligtelse til at træffe de nødvendige foranstaltninger til, at forbrænding af olieaffald sker efter nærmere, miljømæssigt forsvarlige regler i overensstemmelse med bestemmelserne i direktiv 75/439.
The 'technical, economic and organisational constraints' give general expression to the obligation imposed on Member Slates and, as such, the expression is not to be interpreted restrictively as proposed by the Commission.
Tværtimod er forholdet det at der ganske vist fandtes en ansporende foranstaltning i form af, at der blev udbetalt en godtgørelse til fremme af regenerering, og hvilket principielt var i overensstemmelse med direktiv 75/439, som ændret men godtgørelsen er for nylig blevet ophævet ved lov.
The Commission alleges that the Federal Republic of Germany has failed to give priority to the processing of waste oils by regeneration, without having shown, however, that it was prevented from so doing by technical, economic or organisational constraints, and that it has thus infringed Article 3 of Directive 75/439, as amended.
Kun såfremt der hverken foretages regenerering eller forbrænding af olieaffald under miljømæssigt forsvarlige regler, gælder der for medlemsstaterne den mere subsidiære forpligtelse, nemlig til at træffe de nødvendige foranstaltninger til at sikre affaldets destruktion uden skadelige virkninger eller kontrolleret bevaring eller deponering.
By that expression, the Community legislature did not intend to provide limited exceptions to a rule having general application, but to define the scope and content of a positive obligation to give priority to the processing of waste oils by regeneration.
De »tekniske, økonomiske og organisatoriske hensyn«, som angiver en samlet forpligtelse, der pålægges medlemsstaterne, skal derfor ikke fortolkes snævert, således som Kommissionen har foreslået
The Commission also points out that the provisions cited by the Federal Republic of Germany as transposing Directive 75/439, as amended, lay down conditions under which waste oils may be regenerated but do not give any priority to such regeneration.
Med denne formulering har fællesskabslovgiver ikke med henvisningen til »tekniske, økonomiske og organisatoriske hensyn« villet fastsætte undtagelser, der kun omfatter en generel gennemførelsesbestemmelse, men definere anvendelsesområdet og indholdet af en positiv forpligtelse til at prioritere regenerering af olieaffald.
An examination of the German legislation has shown there to be no national provision expressly laying down that priority is to be given to regeneration in the processing of waste oils.
Det må i den forbindelse præciseres, at muligheden for fortsat at anvende en punktafgiftsfritagelse for olieaffald bestemt til forbrænding, hvilket blev godkendt ved Rådets beslutning, ikke medfører, at fiskale bestemmelser, som Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland kunne have vedtaget for at efterkomme sin forpligtelse til at gennemføre direktiv 75/439, som ændret ikke kan tages i betragtning.
The provision relating to constraints must be understood as an expression of the principle of proportionality; accordingly, Member States are
Serv om det ikke tilkommer Domstolen at træffe afgørelse om, hvilke foranstaltninger en medlemsstat burde have truffet med henblik på at gennemføre direktiv 75/439, som ændret tilkommer det den derimod at tage stilling til, om der kunne træffes foranstaltninger, hvorved regenerering af olieaffald prioriteres, og som opfylder kriteriet om, at de skal være mulige ud fra et teknisk, økonomisk og organisatorisk synspunkt.
satisfying the criterion of technical, economic and organisational feasibility.
Det kan i den forbindelse blot fastslås, at der var en række foranstaltninger, der kunne bidrage til at nå det mål, at regenerering af olieaffald blev prioriteret og som ud fra et teknisk, økonomisk og organisatorisk synspunkt kunnevedtages, men at Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland ikke har truffet nogen af de pågældende foranstaltninger, men tværtimod ophørt med at anvende en af dem og ikke på anden passende vis har forsøgt at nå det mål, der forfølges med direktiv 75/439, som ændret
under an obligation to take measures appropriate and proportionate to the objective of giving priority to the processing of waste oils by regeneration, which is to say that the limit to that positive obligation is the existence of the technical, economic and organisational constraints.
Generaladvokat N. Fenneliv fremsatte forslap til afgørelse i retsmødet (Femte Afdeling) den 11. februar 1999.
On the contrary, although an incentive used to exist in the form of the payment of an indemnity encouraging regeneration, and the principle of the payment of such an indemnity was in conformity with Directive 75/439, as amended, the indemnity was abolished by a recent law.

In this connection it should be made clear that the possibility of continuing to apply an exemption from the excise duty on waste oils intended for combustion, approved by a Council decision, does not have the effect of precluding consideration of the fiscal measures which the Federal Republic of Germany could have adopted in order to comply with its obligation to implement Directive 75/439, as amended.
