Artikel 51 i Rådets forordning (EØF) nr. 1408/71 af 14. juni 1971 om anvendelse af de sociale sikringsordninger på arbejdstagere, selvstændige erhvervsdrivende og deres familiemedlemmer, der flytter inden for Fællesskabet, skal fortolkes således, at når en pension, der af en medlemsstat udbetales til en arbejdstager i henhold til nationale antikumulationsregler er fastsat til et beløb af en sådan størrelsesorden, at det sammenlagt med en hvilken som helst anden ydelse, der udbetales af en anden medlemsstat, ikke overstiger en vis Øvre grænse, kan der ikke foretages en fornyet beregning af pensionen med henblik på at undgå en overskridelse af denne øvre grænse i tilfælde af efterfølgende ændringer af den anden ydelse som følge af den generelle økonomiske og sociale udvikling.
"(1) Article 51 of Council Regulation No. 1408/71 of 14 June 1971 on the application of social security schemes to employed persons, to self-employed persons and to members of their families moving within the Community is to be interpreted as meaning that where, under national rules against the overlapping of benefits, the pension paid to a worker by a Member State has been calculated at an amount such that, when added to the amount of a benefit paid by another Member State, it does not exceed by a certain ceiling, the pension is not to be recalculated in order to prevent that ceiling from being exceeded, if subsequent adjustments are made to the other benefit on account of the general evolution in the economic and social situation.
Andre fællesskabsretlige bestemmelser giver heller ikke mulighed for en fornyet beregning under ovennævnte omstændigheder."
No other provision of Community law permits such a recalculation to be made in the said circumstances."
Sag C-303/88: Den Italienske Republik m.fl. mod Kommissionen for De Europæiske Fællesskaber
Case C-303/88: Italian Republic and Others ν Commission of the European Communities - 21 March 1991 (State aid - State aids in the textiles and clothing sector) (Full Court)
21.3.1991 "Statsstøtte - statsstøtte til virksomheder i tekstil- og beklædningssektoren" (Domstolens plenum)
By application lodged at the Court Registry on 16 October 1988, the Italian Republic brought an action for a declaration that Commission Decision 89/43/EEC, in which the Commission found that the aids granted by the Italian Government to ENI-Lanerossi in the form of capital injections in favour of the group's four men's outer wear subsidiaries and amounting to Lit 260.4 billion were incompatible with the common market and had therefore to be withdrawn by recovery, was void.
Ved stævning indgivet den 16. oktober 1988 havde Den Italienske Republik anlagt sag med påstand om annullation af Kommissionens beslutning 89/43, hvori Kommissionen konstater, at den støtte, som den italienske regering havde ydet koncernen ENI-Lanerossi i form af kapitalindskud på i alt 260,4 milliarder lire i koncernens fire datterselskaber, der fremstiller herrebeklædning, var i strid med fællesmarkedet og derfor skulle tilbagesøges.
The Italian Government claimed, inter al ia, that the contested decision infringed the principle of equal treatment between public and private undertakings laid down in Article 90 of the EEC Treaty according to which a public holding company must be authorized to compensate for the losses of one of its subsidiaries under the same conditions as a private holding company.
Den italienske regering gjorde bl.a. gældende, at den anfægtede beslutning betegnede en overtrædelse af princippet om ligebehandling af offentlige virksomheder og private virksomheder, som er forudsat i EØF-Traktatens artikel
The Court observed in that regard that although a private holding company could reasonably provide the capital necessary to ensure the survival of one of its subsidiaries in temporary difficulties, not only with an eye to making an indirect material profit but also for other reasons such as the desire to maintain the group's image or to redirect its activities, capital provided by a public investor who is not interested in any form of profitability, even in the long term, must be regarded as aid within the
Domstolen bemærkede vedrørende forholdene i den foreliggende sag, at de fire datterselskaber havde haft tab uden afbrydelse fra 1974 til 1987, og at den udligning af deres driftstab, som havde fundet sted mellem 1983 og 1987, næsten svarede til deres omsætning i de samme år.
In this case, the Court observed that the four subsidiaries suffered continuous losses from 1974 to 1987 and the operating losses for which they were compensated between 1983 and 1987 were approximately equivalent to their turnover during the same period.
ENI-Lanerossi's ledelse havde desuden iværksat en driftsomlægningsplan med det resultat, at de fire datterselskaber i januar var blevet overført til den private sektor.
Moreover, the ENI-Lanerossi management undertook a conversion plan which led to the four subsidiaries being transferred to the private sector in January.
På baggrund heraf og i betragtning af længden af den periode, i hvilken ENI-Lanerossi opretholdt sin Økonomiske støtte til de fire datterselskaber, var Kommissionen ifølge Domstolen med rette nået til det resultat, at udligningen af tabene var sket under forhold, der ikke ville have været acceptable for en privat investor, der virker på sædvanlige markedsvilkår, og at ingen privat investor, ej heller et holdingselskab i industrien, ville have lagt vægt på de sociale og regionale forhold, som den italienske regering og den spanske regering havde fremhævet betydningen af.
Under those circumstances, and having regard to the length of time during which ENI-Lanerossi maintained its financial support of the four subsidiaries, the Commission was entitled to consider that the compensation in respect of losses had been paid under conditions which would not have been acceptable to a private investor operating under normal market conditions and that no private investor, even an industrial group, would have taken account of the social or regional considerations in the way that the Italian and Spanish Governments.
Kommissionen havde derfor med rette konstateret, at ingen privat investor ville have dækket så store kapitaltab i så lang tid.
The Commission was therefore entitled to conclude that no private investor would have covered losses of capital of such a magnitude for so long a period.
Domstolen måtte derfor fastslå, at ENI's foranstaltninger udgjorde statsstøtte i betydningen i EØF-Traktatens artikel 92, stk. 1.
Consequently, it must be considered that ENI's interventions constituted State aid within the meaning of Article 92 (1) of the EEC Treaty.
Sagsøgte frifindes.
The action is dismissed;
Den Italienske Republik afholder Kommissionens omkostninger, herunder de med behandlingen af begæringen om foreløbige forholdsregler afholdte omkostninger.
Republic is ordered to pay the Commission's costs, those of the interlocutory proceedings;
Kongeriget Spanien betaler sine omkostninger."
The Kingdom of Spain is ordered to bear its own costs".

He proposed that the Court should "dismiss the application in its entirety and order the applicant to pay the costs, stating at the same time that the applicant was and is, in accordance with Article 5 of the EEC Treaty, required to initiate the procedures provided for in national law to recover the aid paid and to come to an agreement with the Commission as to the way in which any difficulties which might arise in the course of recovery could be overcome".
Sag C-209/89: Kommissionen for De Europæiske Fællesskaber mod Den Italienske Republik 21.03.1991
Case C-209/89: Commission of the European Communities ν Italian Republic - 21 March 1991 (Free movement of goods - Charge having equivalent effect to a customs duty - Services provided simultaneously to several undertakings - Payment of an amount disproportionate to the cost of the service) (Full Court)
Ved stævning, indgivet den 6. juli 1989, havde Kommissionen anlagt sag med påstand om, at det statueredes, at Den Italienske Republik havde tilsidesat sine forpligtelser i henhold til EØF-Traktaten, idet den - ved tjenesteydelser, der udførtes samtidig for flere virksomheder i forbindelse med toldformaliteterne i samhandelen inden for Fællesskabet - afkrævede hver enkelt virksomhed et vederlag, der ikke stod i rimeligt forhold til omkostningerne ved tjenesteydelserne.
By an application lodged at the Court Registry on 6 July 1989, the Commission brought an action for a declaration that by requiring from each undertaking individually, where services are provided simultaneously to several undertakings in connexion with the completion of customs formalities in intra-Community trade, payment of an amount disproportionate to the cost of the services provided, the Italian Republic had failed to fulfil its obligations under the EEC Treaty.
Domstolen fastslog, at de omhandlede bestemmelser i nogle tilfælde ville kunne medføre, at vederlaget oversteg de faktiske omkostninger ved tjenesteydelserne. Den beregningsmåde, der var gældende i Italien, ville f.eks. kunne medføre, at fem virksomheder blev afkrævet vederlag svarende til en time for tjenesteydelser, der kunne udføres på sammenlagt tredive minutter.
The Court noted that the rules at issue could, under certain circumstances, entail costs exceeding the real cost of the transactions in question.
Efter omstændighederne kunne det samlede vederlag, der blev afkrævet de berørte virksomheder, overstige de omkostninger, som tjenesteydelserne ifølge den italienske regering medførte for det offentlige, i visse tilfælde endog væsentligt.
It followed therefore that, in certain cases, the total amount that undertakings were required to pay could be greater, and sometimes considerably so, than the expense which, according to the Italian Government, the service rendered entails for the public purse.
Selv om den italienske regerings oplysning om, at timebetalingen i gennemsnit ikke svarede til mere end en tredjedel af omkostningerne ved tjenesteydelserne, blev lagt til grund, ville det vederlag, der skulle betales af virksomhederne, overstige de faktiske kontrolomkostninger i alle de tilfælde, hvor tjenesteydelserne udførtes for mere end tre virksomheder samtidig.
Even if it was supposed that the Italian Government's statement to the effect that the hourly charge levied represents, on average, only one third of the cost of the service rendered, the amount of the charges levied on traders exceeds the real cost of the checks carried out in all cases in which the service is rendered simultaneously to more than three undertakings.
Den italienske regerings anbringende om, at de omhandlede foranstaltninger kun havde begrænset rækkevidde, tillagde Domstolen ikke nogen vægt.
The Court could not accept the Italian Government's argument to the effect that the contested transactions were of marginal importance.
Selv om det antoges, at foranstaltningerne kun havde begrænset rækkevidde, er det ved en tilsidesættelse af de forpligtelser, der påhviler medlemsstaterne i henhold til Traktaten, uden betydning, hvor hyppigt og i hvilket omfang de anfægtede forhold er forekommet.
The Court considered that even supposing that the transactions involved were of limited importance, the failure to fulfil the obligations imposed on the Member States by the Treaty existed regardless of the frequence or the importance of the situations complained of.
Den Italienske Republik har tilsidesat sine forpligtelser i henhold til artiklerne 9, 12, 13 og 16 i EØF-Traktaten, idet den - ved tjenesteydelser, der udføres samtidig for flere virksomheder i forbindelse med toldformaliteterne i samhandelen inden for Fællesskabet
By requiring from each undertaking individually, where services are provided simultaneously to several undertakings in connexion with the completion of customs formalities in intra-Community trade, payment of an amount disproportionate to the cost of the services provided, the Italian Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under Articles 9, 12, 13 and 16 of the EEC Treaty;

Sag C-305/89: Den Italienske Republik mod Kommissionen for De Europeiske Fællesskaber 21.3.1991
Case C-305/89: Italian Republic ν Commission of the European Communities - 21 March 1991 (State aid - Capital investment - Motor vehicle sector) (Full Court)
Ved stævning, indgivet den 5. oktober 1989, havde Den Italienske Republik nedlagt påstand om annullation af beslutning 89/661/EØF, hvorved Kommissionen havde fastslået, at den støtte, den italienske regering havde ydet Alfa Romeo-koncernen i form af et samlet kapitalindskud på 615,1 milliarder lire gennem de offentlige holdingselskaber IRI og Finmeccanica, var uforenelige med det fælles marked og havde pålagt regeringen at kræve beløbet tilbagebetalt fra Finmeccanica.
By application lodged at the Court Registry on 5 October 1989, the Italian Republic brought an action for a declaration that Commission Decision 89/661/EEC in which the Commission found that aid in the form of capital contributions totalling Lit 615.1 billion awarded by the Italian Government through the public holding companies IRI and Finmeccanica to Alfa Romeo was incompatible with the common market and required Finmeccanica to reimburse it was void.
Domstolen bemærkede hertil, at selv om en privat investor ikke nødvendigvis handler på samme måde som den almindelige investor, der placerer kapital med henblik på forrentning på mere eller mindre kort sigt, må han i det mindste handle som et privat holdingselskab eller en privat koncern, som forfølger en strukturel, global eller sektorbestemt politik, og handler ud fra mere langsigtede rent abili tet sovervejeiser.
The Court pointed out in that regard that although the conduct of a private investor is not necessarily that of an ordinary investor placing capital in order to make a profit from it more or less in the short term, it must at least be that of a private holding company or a private group of undertakings carrying out a global structural policy or one limited to a particular sector which is guided by the prospects of profit in the longer term.
Domstolen bemærkede endvidere, at Den Italienske Republik ikke med føje kunne gøre gældende, at de pågældende kapitalindskud skyldtes gennemførelsen af en omstruktureringsplan for virksomheden, idet det 10 års-investeringsprogram, der var vedtaget i 1980, trods en ændring i 1983/1984 ikke havde kunnet genoprette Alfa Romeo's Økonomiske situation på det tidspunkt, hvor de omtvistede kapitalindskud blev ydet.
However, the Italian Republic could not claim that the capital contributions at issue were linked to the realization of a plan for the restructuring of the undertaking, since the ten-year investment plan, adopted in 1980, had been shown, notwithstanding a modification in 1983/1984, to be incapable of restoring Alfa Romeo's financial position at the time that the contested capital contributions were made.
Da der ikke havde foreligget en egentlig omstruktureringsplan, hvorefter der navnlig skulle gennemføres en begrænsning af den overskydende produktionskapacitet, en forbedring af den bestående produktionskapacitet og en betydelig nedsættelse af produktionsomkostningerne, havde Kommissionen med rette kunnet lægge til grund, at de omtvistede kapitalindskud kun havde til formål at nedbringe den støttemodtagende virksomheds gæld for at sikre dens fortsatte beståen.
In the absence of a restructuring plan providing, in particular, for a reduction in excess production capacity, an improvement in the remaining capacity and a significant reduction in production costs, the Commission was entitled to consider that the contested capital contributions were intended merely to absorb the debts of the undertaking receiving them in order to ensure that it survived.
Alfa Romeo's markedsandel inden for EF er marginal, og de omtvistede transaktioner har ikke medført, at de konkurrerende virksomheders markedsandel er blevet mindre.
Alfa Romeo's share of the European market is marginal and the contested interventions did not lead to a reduction in the market shares of competing undertakings.
Domstolen bemærkede hertil, at når en virksomhed opererer inden for en bestemt sektor, som har overskydende produktionskapacitet, og hvor producenter fra forskellige medlemsstater konkurrerer, må enhver form for støtte, som virksomheden modtager fra de offentlige myndigheder, antages at påvirke samhandelen mellem medlemsstaterne og begrænse konkurrencen, idet virksomhedens fortsatte eksistens på markedet forhindrer konkurrenterne i at Øge deres markedsandele og begrænser deres muligheder for at forøge eksporten.
The Court noted in that regard that once an undertaking is operating in a sector marked by an excess of production capacity in which there is real competition between producers in the various Member States, any aid awarded to it by the public authorities is likely to affect intra-Community trade and hinder competition inasmuch as the undertaking's continuing presence on the market prevents competitors from increasing their market share and reduces their opportunities to increase exports.
Domstolen henviste i den forbindelse til, at alene på det italienske marked havde Alfa Romeo i 1986 en markedsandel på 14,6%.
The Court regarded it as sufficient in that regard to point out that Alfa Romeo's share of the Italian market in 1986 was 14.6%.
Det hedder i domsklusionen:
The Court held that:
"at sagsøgte frifandtes for påstanden om annullation af den omtvistede beslutning, og at den italienske regering dømtes til at betale sagens omkostninger."
He proposed that the Court should " dismiss the application for the annulment of the contested decision and order the Italian Government to pay the costs".

By application lodged at the Court Registry on 18 July 1989, Haniel Spedition GmbH, whose registered office is in Duisburg, brought an action for a declaration that Commission decision to withhold, by reason of delays in the delivery of the goods, an amount of 55 451.50 ECUs from the amount due to the applicant for the carriage of several lots of butter to be delivered as food aid was void and for reimbursement of that amount with default interest.

Ved kendelse af 6. april 1989, indgået til Domstolen den 27. november s.a., havde Tribunale Civile di Genova forelagt to præjudicielle spørgsmål vedrørende fortolkningen og gyldigheden af artikel 16 i Rådets forordning nr. 136/66/EØF.
By order of 6 April 1989, which was received at the Court Registry on 27 November 1989, the Tribunale Civile di Genova referred two questions to the Court for a preliminary ruling on the interpretation and validity of Article 16 of Regulation No. 136/66/EEC of the Council.
Spørgsmålene var rejst som led i en tvist mellem ovennævnte parter; sagen drejede sig om tilbagebetaling af importafgifter, som S.A.F.A. havde erlagt i forbindelse med indførsler af ikke behandlet olivenolie fra Grækenland i 1979 og 1980.
Those questions were raised in proceedings between the parties mentioned above concerning the recovery of import levies paid by SAFA in respect of imports of extra virgin olive oil from Greece in 1979 and 1980.
Domstolen besvarede spørgsmålene således:
The Court held that:
Artikel 16, stk. 1, i Rådets forordning nr. 136/66/EØF af 22. september 1966 om oprettelse af en fælles markedsordning for fedtstoffer, som ændret ved Rådets forordning (EØF) nr. 1562/78 af 29. juni 1978 samt artikel 5, stk. 1, i Rådets forordning (EØF) nr. 2749/78 af 23. november 1978 om samhandelen med fedtstoffer mellem Fællesskabet og Grækenland hjemlede mulighed for, at Kommissionen i årene 1979 og 1980 konsekvent

He concluded as follows:
Artikel 16 i Rådets forordning nr. 136/66/EØF af 22. september 1966 om oprettelse af en fælles markedsordning for fedtstoffer, som ændret ved Rådets forordning nr. 1562/78/EØF af 29. juni 1978, skal fortolkes således, at den hjemler mulighed for, at afgiften ved import af ikke behandlet olienolie i årene 1979 og 1980 fastlægges på grundlag af liei tat ion.
Article 16 of Regulation No. 136/66/EEC of the Council of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats, as amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No. 1562/78 of 29 June 1978 must be interpreted as meaning that a tendering procedure may be used to fix the import levy on extra virgin olive oil in 1979 and 1980.
Gennemgangen af det præjudicielle spørgsmål har intet frembragt, der kan påvirke gyldigheden af artikel 16 i ovennævnte forordning."
Consideration of the question referred to the Court has disclosed no factor of such a kind as to affect the validity of Article of the abovementioned regulation".
