The Court notes that any State measure, whether permanent or temporary, which has the effect of granting financial advantages to an undertaking and improving its financial position falls within the definition of State aid for the purposes of Article 92(1) of the Treaty and, accordingly, the question whether a change in the rules for allocation of the levies is temporary or permanent is not an adequate test for determining whether Article 92(1) of the Treaty

applies in a particular case (see above, paragraph 56).

The fact that, as a general rule, the operation of the pari mutuel in France can benefit not only members of the PMU, but also, indirectly, nonmember companies, cannot be regarded as decisive evidence.
»Ansvar uden for kontraktforhold (Femte Afdeling)
The applicant failed to initiate and follow the procedure laid down in Article 175 of the Treaty or to bring in due time an action for annulment.
Med kravet om, at der skulle skabes et »område uden grænser« mellem EØFs medlemsstater, forudsatte gennemførelsen af det indre marked, at de fiskale grænser og toldkontrollen inden for Fællesskabet var fjernet efter udløbet af den i ovennævnte bestemmelse fastlagte periode, dvs. pr. 1. januar 1993.
The position is the same, and for the same reasons, with regard to the applicant's argument based on the implied rejection of the complaint as regards the PMU's exemption from income tax.
Gennemførelsen af det indre marked kunne i alvorlig grad påvirke mulighederne for at fortsætte bestemte former for erhvervsmæssig virksomhed, som er direkte forbundet med eksistensen af toldkontrol og fiskal kontrol ved Fællesskabets indre grænser.
In those circumstances, the applicant's allegation that Article 92(1) was misapplied in respect of the cashflow benefits granted to the PMU is well founded and that part of the contested decision must be annulled.

Retention of unclaimed winnings by the PMU
Den berørte speditørerne.
The exemption from corporation tax
Disse traktater, herunder fællesakten, er aftaler, der er indgået mellem medlemsstaterne med henblik på at oprette eller ændre De Europæiske Fællesskaber. Fællesakten udgør således hverken en handling foretaget af institutionerne eller en handling foretaget af deres ansatte.
By way of a preliminary point, the Court notes that the measure enabled the racecourse undertakings to cover, inter alia, the social security costs incurred by the PMU in connection with redundancy for some of its surplus staff.
Den kan derfor ikke danne grundlag for et ansvar uden for kontraktforhold for Fællesskabet.
The Court considers it necessary to determine, first, whether the funds derived from unclaimed winnings constitute 'normal resources'
Selskabet har oplyst, at det efter gennemførelsen af det indre marked fra den 1. januar 1993 har måttet indstille praktisk talt hele sin speditørvirksomhed endeligt.
It is clear from that provision of French legislation that the use which racecourse undertakings could make of unclaimed winnings was not only restricted (to social expenditure) but also depended on prior authorisation from 'the authorities responsible for approving their budget'.
Det har opgjort sit materielle tab i denne anledning til 112 339 703 FF.
However, if use of unclaimed winnings is to be regarded — as 'normal resources', there would be no need for the French legislature to
Sagsøgeren har principalt gjort gældende, at selskabet har et krav baseret på et objektivt ansvar for Fællesskabet, og subsidiært et krav baseret på et culpaansvar for Fællesskabet.
However, if the Commission decides to reject a complaint by adopting a decision to that effect, that decision must, pursuant to Article 190 of the Treaty, contain a statement of reasons which
væsentlige sigter mod at få fastslået et ansvar for Fællesskabet som følge af selve fællesakten.
adopt regulations restricting their use to strictly defined expenditure, failing which those resources would automatically revert to the Treasury.
fællesakten, som er en international traktat, der er vedtaget og godkendt af medlemsstaterne. Betingelserne for et ansvar for Fællesskabet er derfor ikke opfyldt.
before the PMI was set up in January 1989, the aid granted between 1982 and 1985 for the PMU's computerisation and which derived from the rounding down of winnings 'did not produce any disruptive effects on the market contrary to the common interest, bearing in mind the direct and indirect effects of the aid in developing all the economic factors making up the sector, including the improvement of bloodstock'.
Det er dog ikke udelukket, at der efter omstændighederne vil kunne gælde en erstatningspligt i henhold til national ret i den medlemsstat, hvor den pågældende toldklarerer eller speditør udøvede sin virksomhed.
In those circumstances, the resources in question cannot be regarded as 'normal resources' belonging to the racecourse undertakings and the PMU, but constitute 'State resources' the allocation of which to the Treasury depends on whether certain statutory conditions are met.
Det må konstateres, at selv hvis det lægges til grund, at der i det foreliggende tilfælde er sket en tilsidesættelse af en retlig forpligtelse til at handle, må det alligevel antages, at dette under de foreliggende omstændigheder med sikkerhed ikke kan give grundlag for et ansvar for Fællesskabet.
That passage shows that the applicant cannot criticise the Commission for not having determined whether the positive condition for the application of Article 92(3)(c) of the Treaty was satisfied in the present case.
Fjernelsen af de fiskale grænser og toldkontrollen fremgår direkte af fællesaktens artikel 13, som er blevet til EF-traktatens artikel 7 A, hvorefter »det indre marked indebærer et område uden indre grænser«. Den er derfor en direkte og nødvendig konsekvens heraf.
Consequently, the Commission's finding that although the measure in question is designed to finance social expenditure of the racecourse undertakings linked to the organisation of totalisator betting it does not constitute State aid because no transfer of State resources is involved is based on false premisses and must therefore be annulled.
Nærværende sag sigter mod at opnå erstatning for et tab i forbindelse med, at Fællesskabet skal have truffet utilstrækkelige foranstaltninger til fordel for speditørerhvervet i anledning af indførelsen af det indre marked, og den vedrører således klart generelle retsakter, der bygger på et økonomisk-politisk valg og giver fællesskabsinstitutionerne en vid skønsbeføjelse.
So far as concerns the question whether the aid at issue also satisfied the negative condition under Article 92(3)(c) of the Treaty that its effects on the market not affect intraCommunity trade to an extent contrary to the common interest, it is apparent from the contested decision that before the PMI was set up in January 1989 there was no trade between France and the other Member States, which means that before that date there was not even competition between the PMU and the other economic operators active on the Community market in bet-taking. In those circumstances, the Commission was entitled to conclude that the aid granted to the PMU between 1982 and 1985 for computerisation of its activities could not have had disruptive effects on the market, contrary to the Community interest.
Det følger heraf, at kravet baseret på et objektivt ansvar for Fællesskabet sigter mod at få fastslået et ansvar for Fællesskabet for et tab, der har sit udspring i fællesakten, som er en del af den primære fællesskabsret. Fællesakten udgør således hverken en handling foretaget af Fællesskabets institutioner eller en handling foretaget af Fællesskabets ansatte under udøvelsen af deres hverv, og den kan derfor ikke danne grundlag for cl objektivt ansvar uden for kontraktforhold for Fællesskabet.
According to the correspondence exchanged by the Commission and the intervener on this point since the opening of the procedure and produced at the Court's request, the French authorities had clearly stated to the Commission during the administrative procedure that, in return for the exemption from the onemonth rule for VAT deductions granted to the racecourse undertakings on 1 August 1969, the latter were required from that date to lodge a permanent deposit with the French Treasury.
Det skal herefter først undersøges, om de sagsøgte har tilsidesat en højere retsregel til beskyttelse af private, og dernæst i givet fald om denne overtrædelse er tilstrækkelig kvalificeret.
In the absence of a detailed examination by the Commission going back to 1969 or to 1985, the Court cannot rule on the question whether the permanent deposit has since 1969 offset the cashflow benefits with the result that the measure in question never constituted State aid, and whether, if that is not the case, from which date the alleged aid in fact existed because the benefits complained of were not offset.
For så vidt angår princippet om beskyttelse af velerhvervede rettigheder bemærkes for det første, at den af sagsøgeren nævnte rådsforordning (EØF) nr. 3632/85 af 12. december 1985 om fastlæggelse af betingelserne for, at en person kan udfærdige en toldangivelse, alene harmoniserer betingelserne for, at en person kan udfærdige en toldangivelse.
As for the question whether the intensity of the aid in question was commensurate with its objective, the aid was admittedly described by the Commission in the contested decision as considerable.
Hvis der er tale om en velerhvervet rettighed, følger den således ikke af forordning nr. 3632/85, men højest af nationale regler i visse medlemsstater, som ved at underskrive og eventuelt ratificere fællesakten har gjort indgreb i den pågældende rettighed.
However, the fact remains that, according to the contested decision, the aid had been granted well before the PMI was set up in January 1989, a time at which, owing to the state of development of competition and trade between Member States, it was not liable to produce effects contrary to the Community interest.
Spørgsmålet er, på hvilket retligt grundlag og i hvilket omfang Fællesskabet er forpligtet til at handle, dvs. yde sagsøgeren erstatning.
The waiver from 1982 to 1985 of the sums deriving from the practice of rounding down bettors' winnings to the nearest ten centimes
En sådan forpligtelse følger hverken af selve fællesakten eller af nogen anden formel bestemmelse i den skrevne fællesskabsret.
According to the contested decision, given the state of development of competition and trade
En sådan erstatningspligt vil nemlig kun kunne komme på tale i forhold til ekspropriationer, der foretages af fællesskabsinstitutionerne selv, idet Fællesskabet ikke kan forpligtes til at yde erstatning for handlinger, som ikke kan tilskrives Fællesskabet.
Lastly, the Court also rejects the applicant's argument that the Commission did not correctly apply the same criterion, since it assessed the intensity of the aid in question separately.
Afskaffelsen af erhvervet som speditør inden for Fællesskabet er et resultat af
Although it is true that, since the Commission did not correctly apply Article 92(1) to the four
Forordning nr. 3632/85 har således ikke skabt nogen fordel for sagsøgeren, der kan betegnes som en velerhvervet rettighed.
in so far as the applicant's arguments regarding those other measures are unfounded, the same is true of the arguments contesting this type of aid.
For det andet bemærkes, at de erhvervsdrivende på områder, hvor fællesskabsmyndighederne råder over vide skønsmæssige beføjelser, ikke kan påberåbe sig en velerhvervet ret til bevarelse af en fordel, som er et resultat af en bestemt fællesskabsretlig ordning, og som de på et givet tidspunkt har haft.
It follows from all the foregoing that the applicant's plea to the effect that Article 92(3) (c) of the Treaty was misapplied is unfounded and must therefore be rejected.
Den påvirker ikke direkte, men kun indirekte, en hertil knyttet rettighed, eftersom afskaffelsen af bestemte formaliteter på told- og afgiftsområdet har visse konsekvenser for mulighederne for at drive sagsøgerens virksomhed og - alene herigennem for udøvelsen af erhvervet.
other State measures contested by the applicant, it could not assess their cumulative effects together with those of the aid in question, those cumulative advantages relate to a period during which there was no intraCommunity competition or trade.
Desuden er det åbenbart, at gennemførelsen af det indre marked er en målsætning, der forfølges i almenhedens interesse. Når henses til det vigtige mål, derforfølges, indebærer den ikke nogen urimelig begrænsning i udøvelsen af den omhandlede grundrettighed.
Consequently, the existence of other aid granted to the PMU before 1989 has no bearing on the question whether the aid in question is compatible with the common market, the effects of that aid being, moreover, of limited duration (from 1982 to 1985).
For så vidt angår princippet om beskyttelse af den berettigede forventning fastslår Retten, at sagsøgeren i det foreliggende tilfælde hverken har godtgjort eller endog gjort gældende, at fællesskabsinstitutionerne har givet selskabet anledning til begrundede forhåbninger, og at de ville træffe passende kompensations- og tilpasningsforanstaltninger.
The obligation to recover aid incompatible with the common market it follows that the Commission was entitled to take the view that, given the state of intraCommunity trade at the material time, the aid in question, albeit of high intensity, was compatible with the common market.
Sagsøgerens argument om en påstået tilsidesættelse af selskabets grundlæggende ret til at udøve sit erhverv, som skulle udgøre en tilsidesættelse af princippet om beskyttelse af den berettigede forventning, kan heller ikke tiltrædes.
It is therefore necessary to consider whether the Commission in exercising its power of appraisal as to whether to instruct the Member State concerned to recover aid declared incompatible with the common market may restrict the effects in time of such a decision on the ground that the Member State concerned considers that a judgment of a national court was liable to give rise to a legitimate expectation on the part of the recipient of the aid that the latter was lawful.
Endelig bemærkes, at den påståede undladelse af at træffe kompensations- og ledsageforanstaltninger, selv hvis det antages, al der foreligger en sådan undladelse, og at den er culpøs, klart ikke udgør en åbenbar og grov overtrædelse af de omhandlede principper.
According to established case-law, a Member State whose authoriiies have granted aid contrary to the procedural rules laid down in Article 93 of the Treaty may not rely on the legitimate expectations of the recipient undertaking in order to justify a failure to comply with the obligation to take the steps necessary to implement a Commission decision instructing it to recover the aid.
De sagsøgte har nemlig en vid skønsbeføjelse ved gennemførelsen af det indre marked og dermed i forbindelse med deres hensyntagen til de negative virkninger, denne gennemførelse kan have, og de har desuden truffet flere forskellige foranstaltninger ved forordning nr. 3904/92.
If it could do so, Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty would be set at naught, since national authorities would thus be able to rely on their own unlawful conduct in order to deprive of their effectiveness decisions taken by the Commission under provisions of the Treaty.
Retten til fri erhvervsudøvelse hører til fællesskabsrettens almindelige grundsætninger. Den skal imidlertid ikke behandles som en absolut forrettighed, men skal ses i sammenhæng med dens funktion i samfundet.
According to the contested decision, this form of aid was considered to be compatible with the common market prior to 1989, the date from which the racecourse undertakings had to lodge a permanent deposit with the French Treasury in order to offset the advantage it conferred.
Retten til fri erhvervsudøvelse kan derfor underkastes begrænsninger, forudsat at sådanne begrænsninger er i virkelig overensstemmelse med de formål, som Fællesskabet forfølger i almenhedens interesse, og ikke, når henses til det forfulgte formål, indebærer et uforholdsmæssigt og uacceptabelt indgreb, der krænker selve rettighedens kerne.
However, the Court takes the view that, in so far as the Commission bases the compatibility of the aid with the common market until 1989 on the same grounds as those concerning aid derived from rounding down winnings to the next ten centimes, that finding cannot be challenged since those grounds, as just stated, are not vitiated by a manifest error of assessment (see above, paragraphs 150 to 159). h follows that, although the Commission erred in that respect, it was entitled to conclude that prior to 1989 the aid in question was compatible with the common market.

As for the applicant's second complaint, that the Commission erred in law by entrusting the French Government with the task of calculating the exact amount of aid to be recovered, according to the relevant case-law the intention underlying the obligation for a Member State to abolish, in accordance with Article 93(2) of the Treaty, aid regarded as incompatible with the common market is to restore the position to the status quo ante, an objective which is attained where the aid at issue, together with any default interest, is repaid to the State by the recipient.

Without there being any need to answer the question whether in Community law the Community can incur non-contractual liability without any fault, it is sufficient to observe in this case that, despite the applicant's assertion that the damage it alleges does not arise from the Single Act but from the failure of the Community institutions to adopt adequate compensation and adaptation measures, the actual thrust of the application is to impute liability to the Community on account of the Single Act itself.
