Ingen regel i kodeksen forbyder Kommissionen at undersøge foreneligheden af en støtteplan med det fælles marked alene på grund af, at medlemsstaten, der har givet meddelelse om planen, allerede har udbetalt støtten uden at afvente Kommissionens forudgående tilladelse.
The national court is asking essentially whether Article 119 of the Treaty and Directive 76/207 must be interpreted as meaning that exclusion by a collective agreement from entitlement to a special annual bonus provided for by that collective agreement of persons in employment which involves a normal working week of less than 15 hours and normal pay not exceeding a fraction of the monthly baseline and is, on that basis, exempt from compulsory social insurance constitutes indirect discrimination against women, where that exclusion affects a considerably higher percentage of women than men.
produktionsomkostningerne«. Når lovgiver hermed udtrykkeligt har bestemt, at denne reduktion skal forbedre »levedygtigheden« og ikke blot den økonomiske »situation« for de pågældende virksomheder, udtrykkes den tanke, at en ubetydelig reduktion — og så meget mindre en rent symbolsk reduktion — af produktionsomkostningerne ikke er tilstrækkelig til at retfærdiggøre tilladelse til driftsstøtte til fordel for virksomhederne.
'Article 119 of the EC Treaty (Articles 117 to 120 of the EC Treaty have been replaced by Articles 136 EC to 143 EC) must be interpreted as meaning that exclusion by a collective agreement from entitlement to a special annual bonus provided for by that collective agreement of persons in employment which involves a normal working week of less than 15 hours and normal pay not exceeding a fraction of the monthly baseline and is, on that basis, exempt from compulsory social insurance constitutes indirect discrimination based on sex, where that exclusion applies independently of the sex of the worker but actually affects a considerably higher percentage of women than men.'
De kræver faktisk kun »forbedring« af den økonomiske levedygtighed.
Advocate General P. Léger delivered his Opinion at the sitting of the Sixth Chamber on 3 December 1998.
Denne fleksible struktur er begrundet i de økonomiske konstateringer, som ordningen med statsstøtte til Fællesskabets kulindustri er baseret på, dvs. den strukturelle mangel på konkurrencedygtighed, industrien står overfor som følge af, at størstedelen af dens virksomheder ikke er konkurrencedygtige i forhold til importen fra tredjelande.
'Article 119 of the EC Treaty and Council Directive 75/117/EEC of 10 February 1975 on the approximation of laws of the Member States relating to the application of the principle of equal pay for men and women must be interpreted as follows: the combined provisions of collective agreements excluding persons in employment — described as minor employment —, which is exempt from compulsory social insurance, involves a normal working week of less than 15 hours and normal pay not exceeding a fraction of the monthly baseline, from entitlement to a special annual bonus to which other workers covered by those collective agreements are entitled, does not constitute discrimination based on sex.
Af kodeksens artikel 2, stk. 1, fremgår, at de tre fremsatte mål svarer til bestemtestøttekategorier. Det mål, der består i, på baggrund af kulpriserne på de internationale markeder, at gøre nye fremskridt henimod økonomisk levedygtighed for at sikre en gradvis nedsættelse af støtten (første led), refererer sig til den regulerede driftsstøtte.
This is also the case, even where those provisions affect considerably more women than men, so long as the employers and workers were reasonable in taking the view that the collective agreements in question were necessary in order to achieve an aim of employment policy unrelated to any discrimination based on sex.'
Herefter må det undersøges, hvilke midler der i medfør af kodeksen skal realisere målsætningen om at forbedre den økonomiske levedygtighed.
Case T-110/98 RJB Mining pic ν Commission of the European Communities ECSC
Det hedder i domskonklusionen:
9 September 1999
2) Anbringendet om tilsidesættelse af artikel 3 i Kommissionens beslutning nr. 3632/93/EKSF af 28. december 1993 om fællesskabsordningen for statsstøtte til kulindustrien tages ikke tilfølge.
(ECSC Treaty — State aid — Operating aid —Authorisation ex post facto of aid already paid — Improvement of viability of recipient undertakings for the purpose of Article 3 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC) (First Chamber, Extended Composition)
Sag T-127/98 UPS Europe SA / Kommissionen for De Europæiske Fællesskaber Konkurrence
Article 9(5) of the Code of 19933 makes the repayment of aid paid in anticipation expressly subject to the condition that the Commission must have refused authorisation, and thus necessarily implies that the Commission has the power to grant authorisation.
»Konkurrence —passivitetssøgsmål — Kommissionens undersøgelsespligt — rimelig frist* (Fjerde Afdeling)
The applicant is a privately-owned mining company established in the United Kingdom, which took over the principal mining operations of British Coal and which has attempted to find a market for some of its surplus production, in particular in Germany.
Sagsøgeren er et selskab i koncernen United Parcel Service (herefter »UPS«), som driver verdensomspændende virksomhed med udbringning af pakker.
That interpretation, which obliges the Commission to make an ex post facto assessment, necessarily means that the question whether it has the power to give ex posi facto approval to aid paid prior to authorisation must be answered in the affirmative.
Ved skrivelse af 25. august 1997 meddelte direktøren for Kommissionens Generaldirektorat for Konkurrence (GD IV) sagsøgeren, at Kommissionen indstillede sin undersøgelse af sagen efter traktatens artikel 86, og fortsatte den efter traktatens artikel 92.
By application lodged at the Registry of the Court of First Instance on 20 July 1998, the applicant brought the present action against Commission Decision 98/687/ECSC which authorised German aid to the coal industry in 1997, in the amount of DEM 10.4 thousand million.
Ved skrivelse af 7. juli 1994 indgav sagsøgeren en klage til Kommissionen, hvorved selskabet anmodede denne om at indlede en procedure med henblik på at fastslå, navnlig at Deutsche Bundespost (herefter »Deutsche Post«) — udøvede misbrug på markedet for posttjenester, og at denne posttjenestes krydsfinansiering var i strid med EF-traktatens artikel 86 (nu artikel 82 EF), EF-traktatens artikel 90 (nu artikel 86 EF), EF-traktatens artikel 92 (efter ændring nu artikel 87 EF) og EF-traktatens artikel 93 (nu artikel 88 EF).
The applicant brought a further action (T-111/98, in which proceedings are currently stayed) for annulment of three Commission decisions authorising the granting by the Kingdom of Spain of aid to the coal industry in respect of 1994 to 1996, 1997 and 1998.
Den 22. oktober 1997 anmodede sagsøgeren officielt Kommissionen — idet den udtrykkeligt henviste til traktatens artikel 175 — om at tage stilling til selskabets klage af 7. juli 1994 og om, at Kommissionen genovervejede den holdning, som den havde givet udtryk for i sin skrivelse af 25. august 1997 med hensyn til proceduren efter traktatens artikel 86 over for Deutsche Post.
The applicant submits that, by approving operating aid under Article 3 of the Code without having examined the economic viability of each of the recipient undertakings, the Commission has infringed the ECSC Treaty and committed a manifest error.
Den 19. december 1997 sendte generaldirektøren for GD IV en skrivelse til sagsøgeren, hvori han oplyste han, at da Kommissionen agtede at indlede proceduren i henhold til EF-traktatens artikel 93, stk. 2, i starten af 1998, finder denne ikke, at der er grundlag for at imødekomme anmodningen for så vidt som den vedrører EF-traktatens artikel 86.
The applicant submits that, since the aid to which the contested decision relates was granted by the Federal Republic of Germany to the recipient undertakings before the date on which it was authorised, Commission Decision No 3632/93/ECSC of 28 December 1993 establishing Community rules for State aid to the coal industry ('the Code of 1993' or 'the Code') did not allow the Commission to approve it ex post facto.
Kommissionen har desuden i henhold til artikel 11 i forordning nr. 17 fremsendt tre skrivelser til Deutsche Post.
No provision in the Code states expressly that operating aid must be strictly reserved for undertakings with reasonable chances of achieving economic viability in the long term, in the sense that they must be capable of meeting competition on the world market on their own merits.
Den 19. november 1996 rettede sagsøgerens advokater en skrivelse til Kommissionen, hvori de opfordrede denne til at tage stilling, idet de udtrykkeligt henviste til EF-traktatens artikel 175 (nu artikel 232 EF).
As regards the legal effects of a breach of the procedural principle of prior authorisation,
Ved skrivelse af 2. februar 1998 afgav sagsøgeren sine bemærkninger til skrivelsen af 19. december
The provisions of the Code do not require that the undertaking in receipt of aid achieve viability by the end of a fixed period.
1997, idet den anfægtede Kommissionens påtænkte beslutning om at indstille behandlingen af sagen i henhold til traktatens artikel 86.
is not sufficient to justify authorisation of operating aid to those undertakings.
stilling i overensstemmelse med traktatens artikel 175, og på tidspunktet for indgivelsen af stævningen, forløbet henholdsvis 4 og 6 måneder fra modtagelsen af sagsøgerens bemærkninger.
The reason for that open-ended formulation is the economic reality on which the scheme of State aid to the Community's coal industry is based, namely the structural uncompetitiveness faced by that industry because most of its undertakings remain uncompetitive in relation to imports from third countries.
Den 2. juni 1998 fremsendte sagsøgeren en skrivelse til Kommissionen, hvorved den med udtrykkelig henvisning til traktatens artikel 175 opfordrede denne til at træffe en endelig beslutning med hensyn til en procedure i henhold til traktatens artikel 86 over for Deutsche Post
Reducing production costs is not sufficient to justify authorisation of operating aid. Only aid which helps to achieve at least one of the objectives specified can be considered compatible with the common market.
Sagsøgerens påstande har til formål at påvise, at Kommissionen har udvist retsstridig passivitet i forbindelse med behandlingen af klagen af 7. juli 1994, idet der var forløbet 6 måneder, efter at sagsøgeren den 2. februar 1998 afgav sine bemærkninger til Kommissionens skrivelse af 19. december 1997 i henhold til artikel 6 i forordning nr. 99/63.
It follows that improvement in the economic viability of a given undertaking necessarily means no more than a reduction in the level of its nonprofitability and its non-competitiveness.
Med henblik på afgørelsen af, om påstanden om passivitet kan tages til følge, skal det undersøges, om Kommissionen, på det tidspunkt hvor den blev opfordret til at handle i traktatens artikel 175's forstand, havde en pligt til at handle.
Next, it is necessary to examine the means, laid down by the Code, by which the objective of improving economic viability is to be achieved.
Proceduren for undersøgelsen består af en klage af tre på hinanden følgende faser.
Article 2(1) of the Code lays down three objectives which correspond to particular categories of aid.
Under den første fase, som påbegyndes efter klagensindgivelse, indsamlerKommissionen de oplysninger, der er nødvendige for at tage stilling til klagen.
The objective of making, in the light of coal prices on international markets, further progress towards economic viability with the aim of achieving degression of aid (first indent) refers to operating aid.
En skrivelse til klageren, der opfylder betingelserne i artikel 6 i forordning nr. 99/63, udgør en stillingtagen som omhandlet i traktatens artikel 175, stk. 2. En sådan stillingtagen bringer Kommissionens passivitet til ophør.
If it appears that a significant reduction in production costs makes it possible to achieve a degression of aid, the Commission is entitled to consider that the undertakings concerned are capable of improving their economic viability.
I den foreliggende sag, hvor sagsøgeren den 2. juni 1998 havde opfordret Kommissionen til at tage stilling til klagen, udgjorde gennemgangen af klagen den tredje og sidste fase.
Thus, by expressly providing that that reduction must improve the Viability' and not only the economic *situation' of the undertakings concerned, the legislature expressed the idea that a reduction in production costs which is insignificant, or indeed purely symbolic,
Kommissionens endelige beslutning i overensstemmelse med god forvaltningsskik skal træffes inden for en rimelig frist efter modtagelsen af klagerens bemærkninger.
Declares that the plea of infringement of Article 3 of Commission Decision No 3632/93/ECSC of 28 December 1993 establishing Community rules for State aid to the coal industry is unfounded;
Det må vurderes ud fra hver enkelt sag, om varigheden af den administrative procedure kan anses for rimelig, herunder navnlig den sammenhæng, hvori sagen indgår.
Dismisses the application in so far as it is based on those two pleas;
Det følger heraf, at Kommissionen den 2. august 1998, ved udløbet af fristen på to måneder fra modtagelsen af opfordringen til at handle den 2.
Invites the parties to state their views, within a period to be fixed by the President of the Court of First Instance, on the further steps to be taken in the proceedings;

In the third stage, the Commission takes cognisance of the observations submitted by the complainant and at the end of that stage it is required either to initiate a procedure against the subject of the complaint or to adopt a definitive decision rejecting the complaint, against which proceedings for annulment may be brought before the Community judicature.
