28.1.1992 (Præjudiciel) "Fri bevægelighed for personer - rent interne forhold i en medlemsstat" (Anden Afdeling)
It follows from that answer that the action brought by the Commission against the Member State for failure to fulfil its obligations is well founded, so that in Case C-300/90 the Court should hold as follows:
Ved kendelse af 28. september 1990, indgået til Domstolen den 26. oktober s.a., havde Arbeitsgericht Elmshorn stillet to præjudicielle spørgsmål vedrørende fortolkningen af EØF-Traktatens artikler 7 og 48, stk. 4.
By allowing the contributions paid under schemes of supplementary insurance against old age or premature death to be deducted from a worker's taxable income only on condition that they are paid to institutions established in Belgium or to the Belgian branches of foreign institutions, the Kingdom of Belgium has failed to fulfil its obligations under Articles 48 and 59 of the EEC Treaty and Article 7(2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 of 15 October 1968.
Det fremgik af de faktiske omstændigheder som fastslået af den nationale ret i forelæggelseskendelsen, at hovedsagen vedrørte en tvist mellem det tyske Bundespost og en tysk statsborger, som aldrig havde udøvet retten til fri bevægelighed inden for Fællesskabet, og drejede sig om sidstnævntes ansættelse i en stilling i Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland.
As regards the costs in Case C-204/90, it must be concluded that the costs incurred by the German, Danish and Netherlands Governments and the Commission of the European Communities, which have submitted observations
"En statsborger i en medlemsstat, som aldrig har udøvet retten til fri bevægelighed inden for Fællesskabet, kan ikke påberåbe sig EØF-Traktatens artikler 7 og 48, når der er tale om rent indenlandske forhold."
8 - to the Court, are not recoverable, and that, since these proceedings are, in so far as the parties to the main proceedings are concerned, in the nature of a step in the proceedings pending before the national court, the decision on costs is a matter for that court.
Generaladvokat Marco Darmon fremsatte forslag til afgørelse den 5. november 1991.
As regards Case C-300/90, I propose that the Court should order the parties to bear their own costs, since it is my opinion that neither party is wholly in the right or wholly in the wrong".
"EØF-Traktatens artikler 7 og 48 og de bestemmelser, der er fastsat til gennemførelse heraf, gælder ikke for rent interne forhold i en medlemsstat, som f.eks. forhold vedrørende en statsborger i en sådan stat, som aldrig har boet, arbejdet eller erhvervet nogen uddannelse eller kvalifikation i en anden medlemsstat."
Case C-300/90: Commission of the European Communities ν Kingdom of Belgium - 28 January 1992 (Freedom of movement for persons - Articles 48 and 59 of the EEC Treaty -Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 of the Council - Deductions of insurance contributions - National legislation not compatible therewith) (Full Court)
Ved kendelse af 10. juli 1990, indgået til Domstolen den 5. september s.a., havde Finanzgericht München forelagt et præjudicielt spørgsmål vedrørende fortolkingen af artikel 3, stk. 1, i Kommissionens forordning (EØF) nr. 1626/85 af 14. juni 1985 (EFT L 156, s. 13).
By application lodged on 1 October 1990 the Commission of the European Communities brought an action for a declaration that, by subjecting the deductibility from taxable income of supplementary insurance contributions for old-age or premature death to the condition that the contributions should be paid to undertakings established in Belgium or to Belgian agents of foreign insurance undertakings, the Kingdom of Belgium has failed to fulfil its obligations under Articles 48 and 59 of the EEC Treaty and Article 7(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 of the Council of 15 October 1968 on freedom of movement for workers within the Community (Official Journal, English Special Edition 1968 (II), p. 475)
Spørgsmålet var rejst under en sag mellem Franc Soba KG og Hauptzollamt Augsburg vedrørende betalingen af 1.134.138,17 DM i udligningsafgifter.
Decision similar to the judgment in Case C-204/90 above.
Domstolen besvarede det forelagte spørgsmål således:
Opinion: see Case C-204/90 above.
"Artikel 3, stk. 1, i forordning (EØF) nr. 1626/85 skal fortolkes således, at omkostningerne til beholdere og emballage, som køberen vederlagsfrit stiller til leverandørens rådighed, skal betragtes som tillæg til import­prisen."
Joined Cases C-330/90 and C-331/90: Criminal proceedings against A. López Brea and C.H. Palacios - 28 January 1992 (Reference for a preliminary ruling) (Freedom of movement for persons - Regulated occupation - Conditions of exercise - National law) (Second Chamber)
Forenede sager C­363/88 og C­364/88: Selskaberne Società Finanziaria Siderurgica Finsider SpA, Italsider SpA og Società Acciaierie e Ferriere Lombarde Falck SpA mod Kommissionen for De Europæiske Fællesskaber
By orders of 11 September and 11 October 1990, received at the Court on 25 October 1990, the Juzgado de lo Penal (Criminal Court) No 4, Alicante (Spain) referred for a preliminary ruling two questions on the interpretation of Council Directive 67/43/EEC of 12 January 1967 (Official Journal, English Special Edition 1967, p. 3).
Ved stævninger, indleveret til Domstolens Justitskontor den 14. december 1988, har de ovennævnte selskaber i likvidation anlagt sag med påstand om, at Kommissionen kendes ansvarlig for det tab, de har lidt som følge af faldet i deres leverancer af jern­ og stål produkterne i produktgrupperne la, Ib og II til det italienske marked i 1984, 1985 og 1986, og om, at Kommissionen derfor tilpligtes at betale sagsøgerne erstatning med tillæg af renter.
The questions arose in the context of judicial proceedings between the Ministerio Fiscal and Angel López and Carlos Hidalgo Palacios, Spanish nationals residing in Spain who established themselves in Alicante as estate agents without holding the requisite qualifications or permits.
Kommissionen forlængede ved beslutning nr. 234/84/EKSF af 31. januar 1984 (EFT L 29, s. 1) overvågningsordningen og systemet for produktionskvoter for visse produkter for virksomhederne i jern­ og stålindustrien. Ved artikel 15 Β i denne beslutning blev der indført en ordning om overvågning af stabiliteten i de traditonelle leverancer.
It was clear from the findings of fact as set out by the Spanish court in its orders for reference that the main proceedings concerned Spanish nationals pursuing in Spain the occupation of an estate agent, who do not claim to have acquired in any other Member State the requisite qualifications for that occupation.
Dersom en virksomhed ikke indgik eller ikke overholdt en sådan forpligtelse, kunne Kommissionen nedsætte den del af denne virksom­heds kvote, der kunne leveres på det fælles marked, "med en mængde, der er højst lige så stor som den mængde, der har fremkaldt ubalancen i de tradi­tionelle leverancer".
The Court ruled that such situations showed no link connecting them with any of the circumstances envisaged by Community law, with the result that the rules of the Treaty regarding freedom of establishment did not apply.
Denne ordning blev ændret med virkning fra den 1. januar 1986, hvor bestem­melserne i artikel 15 B, stk. 5, blev ophævet, og blev derefter helt ophæ­vet med virkning fra den 1. januar 1987.
The Court further held that Directive 67/43 confined itself to requiring the abolition of any discrimination, whether direct or indirect, on grounds of nationality but that it did not seek to harmonize the conditions in national laws governing access to, or the pursuit of, the occupation of estate agent.
Disse anmodninger blev stiltiende afvist, og den hermed foreliggende stil­tiende beslutning blev derefter påstået annulleret under en sag ved Domsto­len. Denne annullerede ved dom af 9. april 1987, Assider og Italien mod Kommissionen (forenede sager 167 og 212/85, Sml. s. 1701), den stiltiende beslutning om afvisning.
"Council Directive 67/43/EEC of 12 January 1967 concerning the attainment of freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services in respect of activities of self-employed persons concerned with: 1. matters of 'Real Estate' (excluding 6401) (ISIC Group ex 640); 2. the provision of certain 'Business services not elsewhere classified' (ISIC Group 839) does not preclude national rules which restrict certain activities in matters of real estate to persons pursuing the regulated occupation of estate agent."
Da selskaberne ikke fandt Kommissionens forslag om kompensation tilfreds­stillende, anlagde de på ny sag.
Mr Advocate General Jacobs delivered his Opinion at the sitting on 13 December 1991.
Ansvar for Kommissionen
He proposed that the Court should hold as follows:
Sagsøgerne gjorde gældende, at det tab, som de har krævet erstattet, er opstået ved, at de i årene 1984, 1985 og 1986 ikke på det italienske marked kunne levere de mængder produkter, der blev leveret af andre virksomheder i Fællesskabet ud over deres traditionelle leverancer.
"Council Directive 67/43/EEC does not preclude a Member State from restricting the activities mentioned in the order for reference to the holders of a professional qualification for estate agents, provided that in doing so it does not discriminate against nationals of other Member States".
Denne metode, der blev vedtaget under meget specielle forhold, som hang sammen med den vanskelige styring af en krisesituation, var vanskelig at anvende inden for rammerne af et fælles marked, der prin­cipelt hvilede på frie varebevægelser, idet det efter kvoteordningen stod virksomhederne frit for at levere deres produkter i den medlemsstat, de ønskede det.
Case C-332/90: Volker Steen ν Deutsche Bundespost - 28 January 1992 (Reference for a preliminary ruling) (Freedom of movement for persons - Circumstances wholly within the domestic sphere of a Member State) (Second Chamber)
Der var i den forbindelse god anledning for Kommissionen til at gå forsig­tigt til værks ved anvendelsen af disse bestemmelser, for så vidt som Dom­stolen ­ i grund 8 i sin kendelse vedrørende den begæring om udsat gennem­førelse af artikel 15 Β i beslutning nr. 234/84, der blev afsagt mindre end to måneder efter iværksættelsen af ordningen ifølge denne artikel ­ udtryk­te tvivl med hensyn til gyldigheden af artikel 15 Β efter Traktaten (Dom­stolens kendelse af 28. marts 1984, EISA mod Kommissionen, sag 45/84 R, Sml. s. 1759).
By order of 28 September 1990, received at the Court on 26 October 1990, the Arbeitsgericht [Labour Court] Elmshorn referred for a preliminary ruling two questions on the interpretation of Articles 7 and 48(4) of the EEC Treaty.
Domstolen bemærkede endvidere, at bestemmelserne i artikel 15 B, stk. 4, ikke omfattede tvangsforanstaltninger, men kun en foranstaltning, der gik ud på, at de berørte virksomheder anmodedes om at forpligte sig til at udligne ubalancen i deres traditonelle leverancer.
It was clear from the facts as found by the German court in its order for reference that the main proceedings concerned a dispute between the German Bundespost and a German national who had never exercised the right of freedom of movement within the Community, on recruitment to a post in the Federal Republic of Germany.
Kommissionens virksomhed måtte således foregå ikke blot i en retligt uaf­klaret situation, men også under faktiske forhold, der kunne give anledning til begrundet tvivl om effektiviteten af iværksættelsen af proceduren ifølge artikel 15 Β med henblik på at opnå en reduktion af overskydende leverancer.
The Court held that such situations showed no link connecting them with any of the circumstances envisaged by Community law in the context of freedom of movement for workers.
På baggrund heraf kunne Domstolens annullation af den stiltiende beslut­ning, hvorved det blev afvist at træffe de i artikel 15 B, stk. 4, i be­slutning nr. 234/84 omhandlede foranstaltninger, ikke udgøre et fyldestgø­rende grundlag for at statuere ansvar for Fællesskabet.
"A national of a Member State who has never exercised the right of freedom of movement within the Community cannot rely on Articles 7 and 48 of the EEC Treaty in circumstances wholly within the domestic sphere of a Member State."
Domstolen fastslog på baggrund af det anførte, at det ikke var godtgjort, at Kommissionens undladelse af at handle efter artikel 15 B i beslutning nr. 234/84 udgjorde en fejl af en sådan beskaffenhed, at det påståede tab direkte kunne anses for forvoldt ved den.
"Articles 7 and 48 of the EEC Treaty and the provisions adopted to implement them do not apply to circumstances wholly within the domestic sphere of a Member State, such as those of a national of such a State who has never resided, worked or received training or qualifications in any other Member State."
Sagsøgerne gjorde gældende, at Kommissionen havde tildelt andre virksomhe­der tillægskvoter med henblik på produktion af halvfabrikata til fremstil­lingen af små svejste rør, der i alt væsentligt havde været årsag til overskridelsen af de traditionelle leverancer på det italienske marked.
Case C-266/90: Franc Soba ν Hauptzollamt Augsburg - 28 January 1991 (Reference for a preliminary ruling) (Agriculture - Morello cherries in syrup - Protective measures) (Fourth Chamber)
Domstolen fastslog, at Kommissionen, der virkede med henblik på at opnå afbalancerede forhold for jern- og stålindustrien i hele Fællesskabet, ikke nødvendigvis, uanset hvilke forholdsregler der i den forbindelse blev truffet, kunne regne med, at denne tildeling særligt ville føre til forhøjede leverancer i forhold til de traditionelle leverancer på det italienske marked, navnlig fordi de virksomheder, der fik tildelt tillægskvoter, kunne anvende dem til levering af produkter på andre markeder.
By order of 10 July 1990, received at the Court on 5 September 1990, the Finanzgericht München [Finance Court, Munich] referred for a preliminary ruling a question on the interpretation of Article 3(1) of Commission Regulation No 1626/85 of 14 June 1985 (Official Journal 1985 No L 156, p. 13).
Hans forslag til afgørelse havde følgende indhold: "De af Finsider-Italsider og Falck i medfør af EKSF-Traktatens artikel 34 og 40 rejste erstatningssøgsmål admitteres, idet sagsøgte dog frifindes for sagsøgernes påstande.
The question arose in proceedings between Franc Soba KG and the Hauptzollamt [Principal Customs Office] Augsburg, on the subject of payment of a countervailing charge amounting to DM 1 134 138.17.
Kommissionen kan derfor ikke under de konkret foreliggende omstændigheder antages at have begået en fejl, jf. artikel 34, stk. 1, og artikel 40, stk. 1.
That sum had been demanded by the Hauptzollamt on the ground that Soba had not complied with the minimum import price fixed by the abovementioned Regulation No 1626/85.
Ved stævning, indgivet den 23. oktober 1990, havde Kommissionen for De Europæiske Fællesskaber anlagt sag med påstand om, at det fastsloges, at Den Hellenske Republik havde undladt at opfylde de forpligtelser, som påhviler den i henhold til EØF-Traktatens artikel 171, idet den ikke havde truffet de nødvendige foranstaltninger til opfyldelse af dommene af 15. marts 1988, Kommissionen mod Den Hellenske Republik (sag 147/86, Sml. s.
"Article 3(1) of Commission Regulation No 1626/85 of 14 June 1985 on protective measures applicable to imports of certain morello cherries must be interpreted as meaning that, for the purpose of calculating the import price, account must be taken of the cost of the immediate packings with which the importer has provided the supplier free of charge."
1637) og af 15. juli 1988, Kommissionen mod Den Hellenske Republik (sag 38/87, Sml s. 4415).
Mr Advocate General Tesauro delivered his Opinion at the sitting on 24 October 1991.
Den Hellenske Republik har undladt at opfylde de forpligtelser, som påhviler den i henhold til EØF-Traktatens artikel 171, idet den ikke har truffet de nødvendige foranstaltninger til opfyldelse af
"Article 3(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1626/85 must be interpreted as meaning that, for the calculation of the import price, the costs of the containers and the packaging material which the importer provides for the supplier free of charge must be regarded as factors increasing that price".
Den Hellenske Republik har tilsidesat sine forpligtelser efter Traktatens artikler 52 og 59 ved at forbyde de øvrige EF-landes statsborgere at oprette 'frontistirion'-skoler, private musik- og danseskoler samt give privatundervisning i hjemmet.

Den Hellenske Republik har tilsidesat sine forpligtelser efter Traktatens artikel 48 ved at forbyde de øvrige EF-1andes statsborgere, som allerede har beskæftigelse i Grækenland samt disses familiemedlemmer, at bestride en stilling som leder eller lærer ved 'frontistirion'-skolerne og de private musikog danseskoler, eller ved at begrænse deres adgang hertil", og dommen af 14. juli 1988, Kommissionen mod Den Hellenske Republik (sag 38/87), hvori Domstolen fastslog:
By applications lodged on 14 December 1988 the abovementioned companies (in liquidation) brought an action for a declaration that the Commission was liable for the damage which they had incurred on account of their reduced deliveries of steel products in Categories la, lb and II on the Italian market in 1984, 1985 and 1986, and that the Commission was obliged to pay them compensation, with interest, to make good that damage.
Generaladvokat F.G. Jacobs fremsatte forslag til afgørelse i retsmødet den 21. november 1991.
That system operated as follows: any Member State could complain to the Commission if it found that, in its national market during any given quarter, deliveries of products in Categories la, lb, II and III had "altered ... to a significant extent compared with traditional deliveries".
at fastslå, at Den Hellenske Republik har undladt at opfylde de for pligtelser, som påhviler den i henhold til Traktatens artikel 171, idet den ikke har truffet de nødvendige foranstaltninger til opfyldelse af Domstolens dom i sag 147/86;
If the Commission considered the complaint justified it requested the undertakings in question, according to Article 15B, to "give a commitment in writing that, during the following quarter, they will correct the imbalance in their traditional deliveries".
at fastslå, at Den Hellenske Republik har undladt at opfylde de forpligtelser, som påhviler den i henhold til EØF-Traktatens artikel 171, idet den ikke har opfyldt Domstolens dom i sag 38/87, for så vidt angår adgang til erhvervene som arkitekt, civilingeniør og landinspektør;
Should an undertaking refuse to give that commitment, or fail to honour it, the Commission was empowered under Article 15B(5) to reduce peremptorily its delivery quota in the common market by "a quantity not exceeding that which caused the imbalance in traditional deliveries".
pålægge Den Hellenske Republik at betale sagens omkostninger".
The system was amended with effect from 1 January 1986 by the abolition of the powers under Article 15B(5), and was completely abolished from 1 January 1987.
30.1.1992 (Præjudiciel) "Frie varebevægelser - Den Fælles Toldtarif - Den Kombinerede Nomenklatur -emulgatorer til bagværk" (Fjerde Afdeling)
Its request was the subject of an implied rejection, which was challenged before the Court.
Ved kendelse af 27. november 1990, indgået til Domstolen den 16. januar 1991, havde Bundesfinanzhof forelagt et præjudicielt spørgsmål vedrørende fortolkningen af Den Fælles Toldtarif.
By judgment of 9 April 1987 (Joined Cases 167/85 and 212/85 Assider and Italy ν Commission) the Court declared the implied rejection void.
Domstolen besvarede det forelagte spørgsmål således:
As a result of the judgment, the applicant companies had asked the Commission to make good the damage they had incurred.
Generaladvokat Giuseppe Tesauro fremsatte forslag til afgørelse den 12. november 1991.
They did not consider the Commission's compensation proposals satisfactory, and accordingly brought proceedings before the Court.
Han foreslog Domstolen følgende besvarelse:
The Community's liability
28.1.1992 (Tjenestemandssag) "Midlertidigt ansat - afskedigelse - beskyttelse af en ansat, der er gravid - afskedigelsens begrundelse - opsigelsesfrist - overholdelse af en behørigt indført intern procedure" (Femte Afdeling)
The Court held that it had to establish whether the facts as given above could be regarded as evidence of serious faults such as to make the Commission liable, and also whether they were the direct cause of the damage claimed.
Sag T-25/90: R. Schönherr mod Det Økonomiske og Sociale Udvalg
The Commission's abstention from action in the face of Article 15B of Decision No 234/84
(Tjenestemandssag) "Annui lati on af en forfremmelse - sammenlignende bedømmelse af fortjeneste - begrundelsespligt" (Femte Afdeling)
That method, employed in the very special context of the difficult task of crisis-management, had been awkward to implement within a common market based on the free trade of goods, since the quota system itself left
II ­ FORSLAG TIL AFGØRELSE
- 15 undertakings at liberty to deliver their products to any Member State they chose.
Forenede sager C­104/89 og C­37/90: J.M. Mulder m.fl. mod Rådet og Kommissionen for De Europæiske Fællesskaber
The Commission was necessarily inclined to proceed cautiously in the application of those provisions inasmuch as the Court, at paragraph 8 of the order made on an application for the suspension of Article 15B of the decision, less than two months after the introduction of the system created by that article, had expressed doubt as to its validity under the Treaty (order in Case 45/84R EISA ν Commission [1984] ECR 1759).
Generaladvokat Walter Van Gerven fremsatte forslag til afgørelse i rets­mødet den 28. januar 1992.
Thus, intervention by the Commission had to be set not only against a suspect legal context but also against a factual situation casting serious doubt on whether the procedure under Article 15B could effectively be used to secure a reduction in excessive deliveries.
I henhold til EØF­Traktatens artikler 178 og 215, stk. 2, har de nedlagt påstand om, at Domstolen pålægger Det Europæiske Økonomiske Fællesskab ved Rådet og Kommissionen til at erstatte det tab, som de i denne sammenhæng har lidt eller vil lide.
Nevertheless, the Commission, far from remaining inactive, had made a considerable effort to persuade undertakings to exercise self-control.
Tillægsafgiftsordningen og Domstolens praksis
In those circumstances, any annulment by the Court of the implied refusal to adopt measures under Article 15B(4) of Decision No 234/84 would not be sufficient to make the Community liable.
Den af sagsøgerne anlagte sag har sammenhæng med de domme, som Domstolen afsagde den 28. april 1988 i sagerne Mulder (sag 120/86, Sml. s. 2321) og von Deetzen (sag 170/86, Sml. s. 2355). Jeg skal herefter benævne de produ­center, der har deltaget i ordningen i forordning nr. 1078/77 som "SL0M­producenter", som er den i Nederlandene almindeligt anvendte betegnelse.
The undertakings were not subject to the peremptory imposition of quota reductions unless, besides exceeding their traditional deliveries, they had also been guilty of unlawful behaviour - and even then, only after the penalties for such infringements had been applied.
Domstolen har i de nævnte domme fastslået, at Rådets forordning nr. 857/84, som suppleret ved Kommissionens forordning nr. 1371/84, var ugyldig i det omfang, den ikke bestemte, at der tildeles en referencemængde til de produ­center, som i henhold til en forpligtelse påtaget i henhold til Rådets forordning nr. 1078/77 ikke havde leveret mælk i det referenceår, som den pågældende medlemsstat lagde til grund.
In any case, the Commission, which enjoyed a wide discretion in deciding to reduce quotas, would have been entitled before taking any such decision to wait until it could assess how effectively the specific penalties were dealing with unlawful behaviour.
