(Directive on deposit-guarantee schemes — Legal basis — Obligation to state reasons — Principle of subsidiarity—Proportionality — Consumer protection—Supervision by the Member State of ongin) (Full Court)
Anbringendet om fejlagtig hjemmel for direktivet
The plea that the legal basis of the directive is incorrect
Det bemærkes, at inden for rammerne af kompetencefordelingen i Fællesskabet skalvalget af hjemmel for en retsakt foretages på grundlag af objektive forhold, som Domstolen kan efterprøve.
It should be observed that in the context of the organization of the powers of the Community, the choice of the legal basis for a measure must be based on objective factors which are amenable to judicial review.
Sådanne forhold omfatter bla. retsakters formål og indhold.
Those factors include in particular the aim and content of the measure.
Ved stævning indleveret til Domstolen den 18. august 1994 har Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland anlagt sag med pastand om annullatici af Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv 94/19/EF af 30. maj 1994 om indskudsgarantiordninger (herefter »direktivet«) og, subsidiært, om annullation af direktivets artikel 4, stk. 1, andet afsnit, artikel 4, stk. 2 og artikel 3, stk. 1, første afsnit, andet punktum.
By application lodged at the Court on 18 August 1994, the Federal Republic of Germany brought an action for annulment of Directive 94/19/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 1994 on deposit-guarantee schemes (hereinafter 'the Directive') and, in the alternative, of the second paragraph of Article 4(1), of Article 4(2), and of the second sentence of the first paragraph of Article 3(1) of the Directive.
Direktivet er udstedt under henvisning til EF-traktatens artikel 57, stk. 2, første og tredje punktum, og i henhold til fremgangsmåden i traktatens artikel 189 B. Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland har i Rådet stemt imod vedtagelsen af direktivet.
The Directive was adopted on the basis of the first and third sentences of Article 57(2) of the EC Treaty and in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 189b of the Treaty. In the Council the Federal Republic of Germany voted against its adoption.
I henhold til første betragtning til direktivet, hvori der henvises til de i traktaten fastsatte mål, der er mest generelt formuleret i dens artikel 2, er formålet hermed at tilstræbe en harmonisk udvikling af kreditinstitutters virksomhed i hele Fællesskabet gennem ophævelse af enhver begrænsning af etableringsretten og den fri udveksling af tjenesteydelser, samtidig med at stabiliteten i banksystemet og beskyttelsen af opsparerne styrkes.
In the present case, in accordance with its first recital, which refers to the objectives of the Treaty as formulated in the most general terms in Article 2 thereof, the Directive aims to promote the harmonious development of the activities of credit institutions throughout the Community through the elimination of any restrictions on freedom of establishment and the freedom to provide services while increasing the stability of the banking system and the protection of savers.
Ifølge traktatens artikel 3, litra c), skal Fællesskabets virke indebære oprettelse at et indre marked ved fjernelse af hindringerne for den frie bevægelighed for varer, personer,
In support of its principal claim, for the annulment of the directive in its entirety, the German Government submits two pleas in law. The first alleges that the directive has the wrong legal basis and the second that there has been a breach of the obligation to state reasons as required by Article 190 of the EC Treaty.
Til støtte for den principale påstand om annullation af direktivet i dets helhed gør forbundsregeringen to anbringender gældende, det første om, at der er anvendt fejlagtig hjemmel for direktivet, og det andet om, at
By virtue of Article 3(c) of the Treaty, the Community's activities are to include the creation of an internal market characterized by the abolition, as between Member States, of obstacles to the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital.
Dernæst bestemmer traktatens artikel 7 A, at Fællesskabet vedtager foranstaltninger med henblik på oprettelse af det indre marked i henhold til bl.a. bestemmelserne i traktatens artikel 57, stk. 2.
measures with the aim of progressively establishing the internal market in accordance, in particular, with Article 57(2) of the Treaty.
Hvad angår begrundelseskravet bemærkes, at alle de pågældende retsakter skal indeholde en angivelse af grundene til, at institutionen har udstedt dem, således at Domstolen kan udøve sine kontrolbeføjelser, og således at såvel medlemsstaterne som de berørte borgere kan fä kendskab til, hvorledes fællesskabsinstitutionerne har anvendt traktaten.
The obligation to give reasons requires that the measures concerned should contain a statement of the reasons which led the institution to adopt them, so that the Court can exercise its power of review and so that the Member States and the nationals concerned may learn of the conditions under which the Community institutions have applied the Treaty.
Det følger heraf, at foranstaltninger, der vedtages i henhold til denne sidstnævnte bestemmelse, bidrager til fjernelse af hindringerne for den frie bevægelighed, der bl.a. kan være en følge af forskelle mellem medlemsstaternes love og administrativt fastsatte bestemmelser om adgangen til at optage og udøve selvstændig erhvervsvirksomhed.
Consequently, the measures adopted in accordance with the latter provision contribute to the abolition of obstacles to free movement, which may result in particular from a divergence between the provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in Member States concerning the takingup and pursuit of activities as self-employed persons.
Hvad angår nærværende sag indeholder direktivet et påbud om, at alle kreditinstitutter tilsluttes en indskudsgarantiordning, der sikrer, at en indskyders samlede indskud i et kreditinstitut er dækket op til 20 000 ECU, såfremt indskuddene bliver indisponible.
The Directive provides for the compulsory participation by all credit institutions in guarantee schemes providing cover for the aggregate deposits of each depositor with a credit institution up to ECU 20 000 in the event of deposits' being unavailable.
Dernæst omfatter indskudsgarantiordninger, der indføres i en medlemsstat, indskydere i filialer, som kreditinstitutter har oprettet i andre medlemsstater.
Moreover, the deposit-guarantee systems introduced by a Member State are to cover depositors in branches set up by credit institutions in other Member States.
Til nærværende sag bemærkes, at Parlamentet og Rådet i anden betragtning til direktivet har udtalt, at der bør »tages højde for den situation, der kan opstå, hvis indskud i et kreditinstitut, som har filialer i andre medlemsstater, bliver indisponible«, og at det er »nødvendigt, at der sikres et harmoniseret minimumsniveau for beskyttelse af indskud, uanset hvor i Fællesskabet indskuddet er foretaget«.
In the present case, in the second recital in the preamble to the directive the Parliament and the Council stated that 'consideration should be given to the situation which might arise if deposits in a credit institution that has branches in other Member States became unavailable' and that it was 'indispensable to ensure a harmonized minimum level of deposit protection wherever deposits are located in the Community'.
Disse betragtninger viser, at fællesskabslovgiver er af den opfattelse, at formålet med tiltaget bedst kunne gennemføres på fællesskabsniveau på grund af dets tilsigtede omfang.
That shows that, in the Community legislature's view, the aim of its action could, because of the dimensions of the intended action, be best achieved at Community level.
Det samme ræsonnement fremgår ligeledes af tredje betragtning, hvorefter afgørelsen om den kompetente indskudsgarantiordning i tilfælde af, at en filial, der er beliggende i en anden medlemsstat end den, hvor kreditinstituttet har sit hjemsted, bliver insolvent, har virkninger udenfor den enkelte medlemsstats grænser.
The same reasoning appears in the third recital, from which it is clear that the decision regarding the guarantee scheme which is competent in the event of the insolvency of a branch situated in a Member State other than that in which the credit institution has its head office has repercussions which are held outside the borders of each Member State.
De mekanismer, der er indført ved direktivet, bevirker, at medlemsstaterne ikke kan påberåbe sig indskyderbeskyttelse som begrundelse for at lægge hindringer i vejen for, at kreditinstitutter, der er godkendt i andre medlemsstater, driver virksomhed.
The effect of the machinery established by the directive is to prevent the Member States from invoking depositor protection in order to block the activities of credit institutions authorized in other Member States.
På baggrund heraf, er det klart, at direktivet ophæver hindringer for den frie etableringsret og for udveksling af tjenesteydelser.
Accordingly, it is clear that the directive abolishes obstacles to the right of establishment and the freedom to provide services.
Det følger heraf, at Parlamentet og Rådet med føje har vedtaget direktivet med hjemmel i traktatens artikel 57, stk. 2, og at de ikke var forpligtet til at anvende en anden hjemmel.
Consequently, the Parliament and the Council correctly adopted the directive on the basis of Article 57(2) of the Treaty and they were not required to rely on another legal basis.
Det fremgår af disse betragtninger, at Parlamentet og Rådet i hvert fald har begrundet deres opfattelse af, at tiltaget var i overensstemmelse med subsidiaritetsprincippet, og at de derfor har overholdt begrundelseskravet, således som det fremgår af traktatens artikel 190.
Consequently, it is apparent that the Parliament and the Council did in any event set out the reasons for its view that their action was in conformity with the principle of subsidiarity and, accordingly, that they complied with the obligation to give reasons as required under Article 190 of the Treaty.
Der kan i denne sammenhæng ikke stilles noget krav om, at princippet udtrykkeligt skal omtales.
An express reference to that principle cannot be required.
Anbringendet om den fejlagtige hjemmel mi derfor forkastes.
Consequently, the plea alleging that the legal basis of the directive is incorrect must be rejected.
Af disse grunde er der ikke i de faktiske omstændigheder støtte for anbringendet om tilsidesættelse af begrundelseskravet, og det må således forkastes.
On those grounds, the plea alleging infringement of the obligation to state reasons has no factual basis and must therefore be rejected.
Anbringendet om begrundelsespligten
The plea alleging infringement of the obligation to state reasons
Indledningsvis bemærkes, at den sagsøgende regering ikke i forbindelse med dette anbringende hævder, at direktivet har tilsidesat subsidiaritetsprincippet, idet den alene gør indsigelse mod, at fællesskabslovgiver ikke har
As a preliminary point, it should be pointed out that in the context of this plea the German Government is not claiming that the directive infringed the principle of subsidiarity, but merely claims that the Community legislature did not set out the grounds justifying to substantiate its action's compatibility with that principle.
— direktivets artikel 4, stk. 1, andet afsnit, hvorefter den dækning, der ydes
the second subparagraph of Article 4(1) of the Directive which lays down that the cover provided for depositors at branches set up by credit institutions in Member States other than those in which they arc
Indledningsvis bemærkes, at traktatens artikel 57, stk. 2, indeholder hjemmel for Parlamentet og Rådet til med henblik på at fjerne hindringerne for den frie etableringsret og den frie udveksling af tjenesteydelser at udstede direktiver om adgangen til at optage og udøve selvstændig erhvervsvirksomhed.
First of all, it should be noted that Article 57(2) of the Treaty authorizes the Parliament and the Council to issue directives concerning the takingup and pursuit of activities as self-employed persons, with a view to abolishing obstacles to the right of establishment and the freedom to provide services.
Det har imidlertid vist sig, at der forelå en sådan hindring i form af de grundlæggende forskelle i de indskudsgarantiordninger, der fandtes i de forskellige medlemsstater.
It was apparent that such an obstacle was to be found in the fundamental differences involved in the deposit-guarantee systems existing in the various Member States.
Lovgivningerne vedrørende disse ordninger er derfor blevet samordnet for at lette kreditinstitutternes virksomhed på fællesskabsniveau.
Consequently, the laws on those systems were harmonized in order to facilitate the activity of credit institutions at Community level.
direktivets artikel 3, stk. 1, første afsnit, andet punktum, som forpligter kreditinstitutterne til at være medlem af en indskudsgarantiordning (herefter »pligtmedlemskab«).
Article 4(2) under which the Member State whose deposit-guarantee scheme exceeds the level and/or scope of cover provided in another Member State must establish a deposit-guarantee scheme which the branches of the authorized credit institutions in the latter State may join in order to supplement their guarantee ('the supplementary guarantee'), and the second sentence of the first paragraph of Article 3(1) of the Directive which lays down an obligation on credit institutions to join a guarantee scheme ('the obligation to belong to a scheme').
Artikel 4, stk 1, andet afsnit tilsidesættelse af
The second subparagraph of Article 4(1)
På denne baggrund kan »udførselsforbuddet« ikke anses for at være i strid med artikel 57, stk. 2, alene fordi der forekommer situationer, der ikke er til fordel for godkendte kreditinstitutters filialer i en bestemt medlemsstat.
Consequently, Article 57(2) of the Treaty cannot be considered to be contrary to Article 57(2) solely on the ground that there are situations which are not to the advantage of the branches of credit institutions authorized in one particular Member State.
En samordning kan nemlig medføre, at virksomheder, der er etableret i en medlemsstat, mister fordele ved en national lovgivning, som i særlig grad var til gunst for dem.
When harmonization takes place, traders established in one Member State may lose the advantage of national legislation which was particularly favourable to them.
Dernæst er det korrekt, at »udførselsforbuddet« udgør en undtagelse til den minimumssamordning og gensidigeanerkendelse, som direktivet generelt tilstræber. Det skal imidlertid bemærkes, at under hensyn til de komplicerede sagsforhold og de forskelle, som bestod medlemsstaternes lovgivninger imellem, var Parlamentet og Rådet bemyndiget til gradvist at gennemføre den nødvendige harmonisering.
Second, it is true that the prohibition on exportation is an exception to the minimum harmonization and mutual recognition which the directive generally seeks to achieve.
Anbringendet om tilsidesættelse af traktatens artikel 57, stk. 2, må derfor forkastes.
The plea alleging infringement of Article 57(2) of the Treaty must therefore be rejected.
Det bemærkes, at fællesskabsinstitutionerne har overholdt pligten til at begrunde »udførselsforbuddet«.
The plea alleging incompatibility with the objective of a high level of consumer protection, as set out in Article 3(s) and Article 129a of the Treaty
Institutionerne har fastslået, at det var nødvendigt, i hvert faldt i begyndelsen, at bestemme, at størrelsen og rækkevidden af den dækning, som en ordning i hjemlandet tilbyder indskydere i filialer i en anden medlemsstat, ikke må overstige størrelsen og rækkevidden af den dækning, som den tilsvarende ordning i værtslandet tilbyder.
They explained that market disturbances could be caused by branches of credit institutions which offer levels of cover higher than those offered by credit institutions authorized in the host Member State and added that the level and the scope of cover offered by the guarantee scheme should not become an instrument of competition.
Anbringendet om uforenelighed med det formål om en højt forbrugerbeskyttelsesniveau, der er udtrykt i traktatens artikel 3, litra s), og artikel 129 A
They concluded that it was necessary, at least during an initial period, to stipulate that the level and scope of cover offered by a home Member State scheme to depositors at branches located in another Member State should not exceed the maximum level and scope offered by the corresponding scheme in the host Member State.
Disse bemærkninger indeholder en klar begrundelse for, hvorfor lovgiver har vedtaget bestemmelsen i direktivets artikel 4, stk. 1, andet afsnit.
Those factors clearly show the reasons why the legislature adopted the second subparagraph of Article 4(1) of the Directive.
Anbringendet om tilsidesættelse begrundelsespligten må således forkastes.
The plea alleging infringement of the obligation to state reasons must therefore be rejected.
I denne sammenhæng er det tilstrækkelig at fastslå, at uanset at forbrugerbeskyttelsen er et af Fællesskabets mål, er den naturligvis ikke det eneste mål.
Although consumer protection is one of the objectives of the Community, it is clearly not the sole objective.
Det er allerede anført, at direktivets formål er at fremme den fri etableringsret og den frie udveksling af tjenesteydelser i banksektoren.
As has already been stated, the Directive aims to promote the right of establishment and the freedom to provide services in the banking sector.
Disse rettigheder skal naturligvis ledsages af et højt forbrugerbeskyttelsesniveau i Fællesskabet;
Admittedly, there must be a high level of consumer protection concomitantly with those freedoms; however, no provision of the Treaty obliges the Community legislature to confirm the highest level of protection which could be found in a particular Member State. The reduction in the level of
traktaten indeholder dog ikke bestemmelser, der pålægger fællesskabslovgiver at stadfæste det højeste beskyttelsesniveau, der findes i en bestemt medlemsstat Den reduktion af beskyttelsesniveauet, der således kan ske i visse tilfælde ved anvendelsen af direktivets artikel 4, stk. 1, andet afsnit, sætter ikke spørgsmålstegn ved det med direktivet tilstræbte samlede resultat, som er en væsentlig forbedring af indskyderbeskyttelsen i Fællesskabet.
protection which may thereby result in certain cases who the application of the second subparagraph of Article 4(1) of the Directive does not call into question the general result which the directive seeks to achieve, namely to bring about a considerable improvement in the protection of depositors within the Community.
