(Præjudiciel) "Tillægsafgift på mælk" (Tredje Afdeling)
J. Lolkes Posthumus ν R. Oosterwoud and Others - 6 December 1991 (Preliminary ruling) (Additional milk levy) (Third Chamber)
Ved kendelse af 24. april 1990, indgået til Domstolen den 26. april s.a., havde Kantongerecht Beetsterzwaag (Nederlandene) stillet to præjudicielle spørgsmål vedrørende fortolkningen af artikel 7, stk. 1, nr. 2, i Kommissionens forordning (EØF) nr. 1546/88 af 3 juni 1988 (EFT L 139, s. 12).
By order of 24 April 1990, which was received at the Court on 26 April 1990, the Kantongerecht te Beetsterzwaag (Pays-Bas) referred two questions for a preliminary ruling on the interpretation of point 2 of the first paragraph of Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1548/88 of 3 June 1988 (OJ L 139, p. 12).
Artikel 7, stk. 1, nr. 2, i Kommissionens forordning (EØF) nr. 1546/88 af 3. juni 1988 om gennemførelsesbestemmelserne for den tillægsafgift, der er omhandlet i artikel 5c i forordning (EØF) nr. 804/68, skal fortolkes således, at når en medlemsstat ikke har fastsat andre objektive kriterier som omhandlet i denne bestemmeìss og heller ikke har gjort brug af bestemmelsen i artikel 7, stk. 4, i Rådets forordning nr. 857/84 af 31. marts 1984 om almindelige regle» for anvendelsen af den i artikel 5c i forordning (EØF) nr. 804/68 omhandlede afgift og mejeriproduktekter som ændret ved Rådets forordning (EØF) nr. 590/85 af 26. februar 1985, skal den referencemængde, der svarer til bedriften, i tilfælde af overførsel af en del af bedriften fordeles mellem de pågældende erhvervsdrivende alene på grundlag af de arealer, der anvendes til mælkeproduktionen, uden at der kan tages hensyn til andre omstændigheder, herunder de bygninger, der hører til bedriften.
Point 2 of the first paragraph of Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1546/88 of 3 June 1988 laying down detailed rules for the application of the additional levy referred to in Article 5c of Regu­lation (EEC) No 804/68 is to be interpreted as meaning that when a Member State has neither laid down any other objective criteria within the meaning of that provision nor implemented Article 7(4) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 857/84 of 31 March 1984 adopting general rules for the application of the levy referred to in Article 5c of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 in the milk and milk products sector, as amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No 590/85 of 26 February 1985, then when part of a holding is transferred the corresponding reference quantity is to be distributed among the operators concerned in proportion to the areas used for milk production alone, and no account may be taken of any other factors such as buildings forming part of the holding;
Begrebet Objektive kriterier' i artikel 7, stk. 1, nr. 2, i forordning nr. 1546/88 sigter til objektivt konstaterbare kriterier, som er fastsat generelt og på forhånd, og som er uafhængige af de pågældende erhvervsdrivendes vilje, og som tager hensyn til de karakteristiske træk ved den pågældende bedrift eller ved den landbrugsvirksomhed, der udøves på denne."
The concept of "objective criteria" within the meaning of point 2 of the first paragraph of Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1546/88, cited above, refers to objectivei y veri fi abi e criteria of general appli­cation laid down in advance which are beyond the control of the operators concerned and which relate to the properties of the holding involved or of the farming activities carried out thereon."
Generaladvokat F.G. Jacobs fremsatte forslag til afgørelse i Tredje Afdelings retsmøde den 4. juli 1991.
Mr Advocate General F.G. Jacobs delivered his Opinion at the sitting of the Third Chamber on 4 July 1991
Om nødvendigt skal der udbetales forpagteren en passende godtgørelse for tab af kvoten.
If necessary, appropriate compensation for loss of quota must be awarded to the departing lessee.
De objektive kriterier, som medlemsstaterne er bemyndigede til at fastsætte i henhold til artikel 7, stk. 1, nr. 2, i forordning nr. 1546/88, skal forstås således, at der er tale om ethvert verificerbart kriterium vedrørende bedriftens objektive karakteristika og vedrørende den landbrugsvirksomhed, der udøves på denne, og som er egnet til at muliggøre en rimelig fordeling af kvoten.
The objective criteria which the Member States are permitted to lay down pursuant to point 2 of the first paragraph of Article 7 of Regulation No. 1546/88, must be understood as including any verifiable criteria which relate to the objective properties of the holding and the farming activities carried out thereon, and which are appropriate to the object of achieving an equitable division of the quota.
Sådanne kriterier skal have form af bindende regler, som på forhånd fastsættes ved lov eller administrativt."
Such criteria must take the form of binding rules laid down in advance by law, regulation or administrative provision".

Case C-306/89: Commission of the European Communities ν Hellenic Republic - 10 December 1991 (Failure to transpose Council Directive 82/470/EEC -- Effective exercise of freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services in respect of activities of self-employed persons in certain services incidental to transport and travel agencies and in storage and warehousing) (Full Court)
Ved stævning, indgivet til Domstolen den 6. oktober 1989, havde Kommissionen anlagt sag med påstand om, at det fastslås, at Den Hellenske Republik havde tilsidesat sine forpligtelser efter EØF-Traktaten, idet den ikke inden for den fastsatte frist ved lov eller administrativt havde truffet de nødvendige foranstaltninger til gennemførelse af Rådets direktiv 82/470/EØF af 29. juni 1982 (EFT L 213, s. 1).
By an application lodged on 6 October 1989, the Commission of the European Communities brought an action for a declaration that the Hellenic Republic had failed to fulfil its obligations under the EEC Treaty by not adopting within the prescribed period the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with Council Directive 82/470/EEC of 29 June 1982(0J L 213, p.l).

10.12.1991 (Præjudiciel) "Havnevirksomheder - lovbeskyttet monopol - konkurrenceregler - forbud mod forskelsbehandling på grundlag af nationalitet - frie varebevægelser" (Domstolens plenum)
10 December 1991 (Preliminary ruling) (Port undertakings - Legal monopoly - Competition rules - Prohibition of discrimination on grounds of nationality - Free movement of goods) (Full Court)
Ved kendelse af 6. april 1990, indgået til Domstolen den 7. juni s.a., havde Tribunale di Genova forelagt to præjudicielle spørgsmål vedrørende fortolkningen af EØF-Traktatens artikel 7, 30, 85, 86 og 90.
By order of 6 April 1990, which was received at the Court on 7 June 1990, the Tribunale di Genova referred two questions to the Court on the interpretation of Articles 7, 30, 85, 86, and 90 of the EEC Treaty.
Spørgsmålene var stillet under en sag mellem selskabet Merci Convenzionali Porto di Genova SpA og selskabet Siderurgica Gabrielli SpA.
Those questions arose in proceedings between Merci Convenzionali Porto di Genova SpA and Siderurgica Gabrielli SpA concerning unloading operations in the port of Genoa reserved, under Article 110 of the Codice Navigazione, for dockwork companies, whose workers must, under Articles 152 and 156 of the Regolamento Navigazione Marittima, be Italian nationals.
Sagen vedrører losning af varer i Genovas havn.
In the case of such undertakings, that provision prohibited Member States from enacting or maintaining in force any measure contrary to the rules contained in the Treaty.
I henhold til den italienske sølovs artikel 110 er sådanne operationer forbeholdt havneselskaber, hvis arbejdskraft i henhold til artikel 152 og 156 i det til søloven knyttede regulativ skal være italienske statsborgere.
With regard, secondly, to the existence of to the existence of exclusive rights, the Court pointed out that it had consistently held that an undertaking which had a legal monopoly over a substantial part of the Common
Domstolen bemærkede indledningsvis, at en havnevirksomhed, som er tillagt eksklusive rettigheder med hensyn til tilrettelæggelsen og gennemførelsen af havnearbejde for fremmed regning, må antages at være en offentlig virksomhed, som af staten er indrømmet eksklusive rettigheder i den i Traktatens artikel 90, stk. 1, forudsatte betydning. For så vidt angår sådanne virksomheder bestemmer nævnte artikel, at medlemsstaterne afstår fra at træffe eller opretholde foranstaltninger, som er i strid med Traktatens bestemmelser.
It appeared from the circumstances described by the national court that the undertakings given exclusive rights, in accordance with the national rules at issue, were, by virtue of that fact, caused either to require payment for services not requested, or to charge disproportionate prices, or to refuse to use modern technology, which meant that unloading operations were more expensive and took longer to complete, or to grant price reductions to some users and at the same time to offset those reductions by charging other users more.
Domstolen bemærkede for det første med hensyn til det krav om statsborgerskab, der er fastsat for havneselskabets ansatte, at det almindelige princip om forbud mod forskelsbehandling på grundlag af nationalitet, der er knæsat i Traktatens artikel 7, for arbejdstagere er gennemført og nærmere fastsat i Traktatens artikel 48.
The Court stated that since Article 30 of the Treaty fell to be interpreted, it was sufficient to recall that a national measure which had the effect of facilitating the abuse of a dominant position capable of affecting trade between Member States would generally be incompatible with that Article to the extent that it had the effect of rendering more difficult and thus hindering imports of goods from other Member States.
Domstolen fastslog i den forbindelse, at Traktatens artikel 48 er til hinder for, at der i en medlemsstat gælder bestemmelser, hvorefter kun landets egne statsborgere har ret til at arbejde i en virksomhed, der henhører under den pågældende stat.
The Court pointed out, thirdly, that, even in the context of Article 90, the provisions of Articles 30, 48 and 86 of the Treaty were directly effective and created rights for individuals which the national courts were required to protect.
For så vidt dernæst angik spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt der var tale om eksklusive rettigheder, bemærkede Domstolen, at en virksomhed, som har et lovbeskyttet monopol på en væsentlig del af fællesmarkedet, i henhold til dens faste praksis må antages at indtage en dominerende stilling i henhold til Traktatens artikel 86.
As regards the derogation from the Treaty rules laid down in Article 90(2) of the Treaty, the Court stated that neither the documents before it nor the observations submitted to the Court showed that the port operations were of general economic interest or that, even if that were the case, the application of the Treaty rules would be such as to obstruct the performance of those operations.
Med hensyn til fortolkningen af Traktatens artikel 30 bemærkede Domstolen blot, at en national foranstaltning, der gør det lettere at misbruge en dominerende stilling, som kan påvirke samhandelen mellem medlemsstater,
Article 90(1) of the EEC Treaty, in conjunction with Articles 30, 48 and 86 of the Treaty, precludes rules of a Member State which confer on an undertaking established in that State the exclusive right to organize dock work and requires it for that purpose to have recourse to a dockwork company whose workforce is composed exclusively of nationals.
For så vidt endelig angik den i Traktatens artikel 90, stk. 2, fastsatte undtagelse med hensyn til anvendelsen af Traktatens bestemmelser, fastslog Domstolen, at det hverken af sagens akter eller de indlæg, der var indgivet til Domstolen, fremgik, at havnearbejde er af almindelig økonomisk interesse, og at selv om dette måtte være tilfældet, ville en anvendelse af Traktatens bestemmelser være til hinder for opfyldelsen af sådanne opgaver.
Artide 90(2) of the Treaty must be interpreted as meaning that an undertaking and/or a dockwork company in the position described in the first question may not be regarded, on the basis only of the factors contained in that description, as being responsible for the management of services of general economic interest within the meaning of that provision".
Domstolen besvarede spørgsmålene således:
Mr Advocate General W. Van Gerven delivered his Opinion at the sitting of 19 December 1991.
EØF-Traktatens artikel 90, stk. 1, sammenholdt med dens artikel 30, 48 og 86, er til hinder for bestemmelser i en medlemsstat, som tillægger en i den pågældende stat etableret virksomhed eneret på at udføre havnearbejde og forpligter virksomheden til at lade arbejdet udføre af et havneselskab, der udelukkende beskæftiger indeniandrk? arbejdstagere.
"Having regard to the foregoing considerations, I propose that the Court should give the following reply to the questions referred for a preliminary ruling: la
Traktatens artikel 90, stk. 2, skal fortolkes således, at en virksomhed og/eller et havneselskab, der befinder sig i en situation som beskrevet i det første spørgsmål, ikke alene af den grund kan antages at være en virksomhed, der har fået overdraget at udføre tjenesteydelser af almindelig økonomisk interesse i den i ovennævnte bestemmelse forudsatte betydning."
National legislation which encourages, requires or inevitably leads an undertaking covered by Article 90(1) to abuse a dominant position which it holds in a substantial part of the common market, or to adopt a concerted practice with another undertaking, an abuse or practice which would consist, with regard to dockwork operations, whether or not requested, and sometimes not performed, in imposing unfair prices or other unfair conditions, or in limiting markets or technical development to the prejudice of users, or in applying dissimilar conditions to equivalent transactions to the detriment of trading parties, is incompatible with the combined provisions of Article 90(1) and Article 86 or Article 85 of the EEC Treaty.
Generaladvokat Walter Van Gerven fremsatte forslag til afgørelse den 19. september 1991.
Article 90(1), in conjunction with Article 86 or Article 85, is direct effective.
- 9 - den offentlige orden eller den offentlige sikkerhed og heller ikke i medfør af hensynet til ansættelser i den offentlige administration eller udøvelsen af offentlig myndighed.
- 9 laid down in Article 90(2), must also demonstrate to the national court the precise nature of the requirements of general Interest which force them to act contrary to Articles 7, 85 and 86 of the EEC Treaty.
De nævnte traktatbestemmelser er umiddelbart anvendelige.
Commission of the European Communities ν Kingdom of Spain - 10 December 1991 (Failure by a Member State to fulfil Its obligations - Containers of liquid for human consumption - Implementation of a directive in national law) (Full Court)
b) Nationale bestemmelser, som tilskynder, tvinger eller uundgåeligt foranlediger en i artikel 90, stk. 1, omhandlet virksomhed til at misbruge en dominerende stilling, den indtager på en væsentlig del af fællesmarkedet, eller at udøve en samordnet praksis med en anden virksomhed, et misbrug eller en adfærd, som for havnearbejde, der ønskes udført, men som undertiden endog ikke udføres, at anvende urimelige priser eller andre urimelige forretningsbetingelser, eller at begrænse afsætningen eller den tekniske udvikling til skade for forbrugerne, eller at anvende ulige vilkår for ydelser af samme værdi over for handelspartnere, er uforenelige med EØF-Traktatens artikel 90, stk. 1, sammenholdt med artikel 86 eller artikel 85.
By application lodged on 19 June 1990, the Commission of the European Communities brought an action for a declaration that, by failing to communicate programmes for reducing the tonnage and/or volume of containers of liquids for human consumption in household waste to be finally disposed of, as provided for in Article 3 of Council Directive 85/339/EEC of 27 June 1985 (OJ L 176, p.
Sammenholdt med ovennævnte bestemmelser er bestemmelserne i artikel 90, stk. 1, umiddelbart anvendelige.
18), or by failing to draw up such programmes, the Kingdom of Spain had failed to fulfil its obligations under the EEC Treaty.
Virksomheder, som skal udføre og tilrettelægge havnearbejde, hvorved forstås lastning, losning, omladning og oplagring af varer i havnen, kan ikke normalt antages at være virksomheder, der har fået overdraget at udføre tjenesteydelser af almindelig økonomisk interesse, jf. EØF-Traktatens artikel 90, stk. 2, dvs. tjenesteydelser, som direkte er til gavn for samfundet.
By not drawing up the programmes for reducing the tonnage and/or volume of containers of liquid for human consumption in household waste to be finally disposed of, as provided for in Article 3 of Council Directive 85/339/EEC of 27 June 1985 on containers of liquids for human consumption, the Kingdom of Spain has failed to fulfil its obligations under the EEC Treaty.
Det tilkommer den nationale retsinstans at fastslå dette konkret.

"I therefore propose that the Court allow the Commission's application and declare that the Kingdom of Spain is in breach of its obligations under the EEC Treaty inasmuch as it has failed to draw up the programme for reducing the tonnage and/or volume of containers of liquid for human consumption in household waste to be finally disposed of, referred to in Article 3 of Council Directive 85/339/EEC on containers of liquids for human consumption. The defendant should also be ordered to pay the costs of the proceedings".
