Kommissionen påpegede også, at den indtil dato ikke havde anvendt overtrædelsesproceduren i henhold til traktatens artikel 169 i forbindelse med en national domstols afgørelse.
The Commission also pointed out that until now it had not used infringement proceedings under Article 169 of the Treaty against any ruling rendered by a national court.
2.5 Ombudsmanden fandt ved sin gennemgang af Kommissionens handlemåde, at institutionen havde handlet inden for grænserne af sin traktatfæstede myndighed, og at der derfor ikke var konstateret noget tilfælde af fejl eller forsømmelser med hensyn til dette aspekt af sagen.
In reviewing the course of action chosen by the Commission, the Ombudsman found that the institution had acted within the limits of its legal authority and therefore no instance of maladministration had been established as regards this aspect of the case.
Det fremgik af Ombudsmandens undersøgelser af denne klage, at der ikke var sket fejl eller forsømmelser fra Kommissionens side.
On the basis of the Ombudsman's inquiries into this complaint, there appeared to have been no maladministration by the Commission.
Afgørelse om klage 260/97/JMA over Europa-Kommissionen
MUTUAL ACCEPTANCE OF CIVIL AVIATION LICENSES Decision on complaint 260/97/JMA against the European Commission
I april 1997 klagede M. til Ombudsmanden over Kommissionens påståede manglende sikring af, at de britiske myndigheder anvender direktiv 91/670/EØF1om gensidig anerkendelse af certifikater, der giver adgang til udøvelse af funktioner i civil luftfart, korrekt.
In April 1997, Mr M. complained to the Ombudsman about the alleged fail ure of the Commission to ensure the proper application by the British authorities of Directive 91/670/EEC on the mutual acceptance of civil aviation licenses.
Ifølge klageren anerkendte de kompetente britiske myndigheder ikke pilotcertifikater som det, han havde erhvervet i Spanien.
According to the complainant, the competent British authorities did not recognise pilot licenses, such as the one that he had obtained in Spain.
Rådets direktiv 91/670/EØF om gensidig anerkendelse af personcertifikater, der giver adgang til udøvelse af funktioner i civil luftfart - EFT L 373 af 31.12.1991, s. 21.
Council Directive 91/670/EEC on mutual acceptance of personnel licenses for the exercise of function in civil aviation; OJL 373 of 31.12.1991, p.21.
I den tro, at de britiske myndigheder overtrådte direktiv 91/670/EØF, sendte M. skrivelser om spørgsmålet til Kommissionens repræsentation i Madrid i februar og marts 1997.
In his complaint to the Ombudsman, Mr M. claimed that the Commission was not ensuring the proper application of Directive 91/670/EEC in the UK, and had not given any reply to his letters to its Representation in Madrid.
I sin udtalelse undskyldte Kommissionen, at dens repræsentation i Madrid havde undladt at besvare klagerens skrivelser i rette tid.
In its opinion, the Commission apologized for the failure of its Representation in Madrid to answer the complainant's letters in a timely fashion.
Kommissionen forklarede, at der havde fundet en nylig personaleændring sted i dens "Eurojus"-afdeling i Madrid.
The Commission explained that a recent changes in staff had taken place in its "Eurojus" section in Madrid.
Som følge heraf var afsendelsen af dens korrespondance blevet noget for sinket.
As a result, the dispatching of its correspondence had suffered some delays.
Kommissionen gjorde også gældende, at den havde givet sine repræsentationer i alle medlemsstater klare instrukser for fremover at undgå lig nende forsinkelser.
The Commission also stated that it had given clear instructions to its Representations in all Member States to avoid any similar delay occurring in the future.
Med hensyn til anvendelsen af direktiv 91/670/EØF i Det Forenede Kongerige gjorde Kommissionen gældende, at dens tjenestegrene for at klarlægge situationen havde kontaktet de britiske civile luftfartsmyndigheder.
As regards the application of Directive 91/670/EEC in the UK, the Commission stated that in order to clarify the situation, its services had contacted the UK Civil Aviation Authority.
Klageren var blevet underrettet om dette initiativ og var af Kommissionens tjenestegrene blevet anmodet om at fremsende oplysninger vedrørende sit certifikat og sin erfaring.
The complainant had been informed of this initiative and had been asked by the Commission services to forward to them details concerning his licence and experience.
Ombudsmanden modtog ingen bemærkninger.
No observations were received.
Kommissionen erkendte, at de skrivelser, klageren havde frem sendt til dens repræsentation i Madrid, ikke var blevet behandlet straks.
1.1- The Commission acknowledged that there was a failure to deal promptly with the letters sent by the complainant to its Representation in Madrid.
Den gav en forklaring herpå og undskyldte forsinkelsen.
It offered an explanation and apologized for the delay.
Endvidere havde Kommissionen instrueret sine repræsentationer i medlemsstaterne om at træffe alle de nødvendige foranstalt ninger med henblik på at undgå sådanne forsinkelser i fremtiden.
Furthermore, the Commission had instructed its Representations in the Member States to take all necessary measures to avoid such delays occurring in the future.
AFGØRELSER ninger til at undgå en lignende situation, var der ikke grund til, at Ombudsmanden forfulgte dette aspekt af sagen yderligere.
Since it appeared that a reply to the complainant's letters had been given, and that measures had been taken to avoid similar situation, there were no grounds for the Ombudsman to pursue further this aspect of the case.
2 Behørig omhu i forbindelse med sikring af overholdelsen af fæl lesskabsretten
2 Due diligence in ensuring compliance with Community law
Ved sikringen af, at medlemsstaterne fuldt ud overholder fælles­skabsretten, bør Kommissionen følge god forvaltningsskik og handle med behørig omhu.
In ensuring that Member States comply fully with Community law, the Commission should work in accordance with principles of good administration, and act with due diligence.
Dette indebærer, at Kommissionen som traktatens vogter aktivt bør tilstræbe, at den pågældende medlemsstat bringer den påståede overtrædelse til ophør og behørigt underretter klageren om sine handlinger.
DECISIONS seek that the concerned Member State puts an end to the alleged infringement and duly inform the complainant of its actions.
I forlængelse af klagerens skrivelse kontaktede Kommissionens tjenestegrene de ansvarlige nationale myndigheder for at sikre, at de ansvarlige britiske myndigheder anvender direktiv 91/670/EØF korrekt.
Following the letters of the complainant, the Commission services contacted the responsible national authorities in order to ensure proper application of Directive 91/670/EEC by the responsible British authorities.

The Commission also requested more information on the complainant's problem, in particular as regards his pilot license and professional experience.
Det fremgår af de disponible oplysninger, at Kommissionen havde handlet med behørig omhu ved behandlingen af denne klage. Ombudsmanden konstaterede derfor ingen fejl eller forsømmelser i forbindelse med dette aspekt af sagen.
From the available information, it appears that the Commission had acted with due diligence in the handling of this complaint.
Ombudsmandens undersøgelser af denne klage viste ingen tilfælde af fejl eller forsømmelser fra Kommissionens side.
On the basis of the Ombudsman's inquiries into this complaint, there appeared to have been no maladministration by the Commission.
Afgørelse om klage 269/97/PD over Europa­Kommissionen
Decision on complaint 269/97/PD against the European Commission ·
I marts 1997 indgav B., medlem af Europa­Parlamentet, en klage til Ombudsmanden pa vegne af en græsk forsker.
In March 1997, Mr B., a Member of the European Parliament, complained on behalf of Mr K., a Greek scientist.
B. gjorde gældende, at pub­likationer fra Kommissionen er meget dyre for visse EU­borgere.
Mr B. stated that for some European Union citizens, European Commission publications are very expensive.
Efter hans opfattelse findes der borgere, som næsten er forment adgang til disse dokumenter, hvilket han anser for problematisk ud fra princippet om åbenhed.
In his opinion, some citizens are almost excluded from access to these publications, something which he considers problematic from the perspective of transparency.
B.'s klage var vedføjet en skrivelse, han havde modtaget fra Κ. I sin skri­velse gjorde K. gældende, at visse publikationer fra Kommissionen var alt for dyre for græske statsborgere. Han gav som eksempel, at prisen på en publikation på 300­400 sider kan svare til, hvad en græsk forsker kan tjene på fem dage.
Annexed to Mr B.'s complaint was a letter which he had received from Mr K. In his letter, Mr K. stated that some Commission publications were almost unaffordable for Greek nationals.
Kommissionen redegjorde i sin udtalelse for de anvendte kriterier ved fastsættelsen af priserne på doku menter:
In its opinion, the Commission described the criteria used for the pricing of documents:
"Kontoret for De Europæiske Fællesskabers Officielle Publikationer følger en prispolitik, der er baseret på principper fastlagt af alle EU-insti-tutioner.
"The pricing policy of the Office for Official Publications of the European Communities is based on principles established by all the Institutions.
EU-institutionerne fastsætter prisen på deres publikationer efter Publikationskontorets retningslinjer under hensyntagen til de politiske målsætninger, produktionsomkostningerne og mindstepriserne i salgsleddet.
Institutional Authors decide the price of a publication following the recommendation of the Office, by taking into consideration the policy objectives, the production costs and the minimum prices required by the sales networks.
Ofte vil de fastsatte priser, især for begrænsede oplag på visse sprog, end ikke dække de afholdte udgifter.
Very often, particularly for small print runs in some lan guages, the price does not even cover the costs incurred. Following the
I henhold til princippet om ikke- forskelsbehandling fastsættes der den samme pris i ecu for alle medlemsstater. "
DECISIONS principle of non-discrimination, prices are in ECU and are the same in all member countries. "
Endvidere henviste Kommissionen til, at der i Kommissionens regi er oprettet flere netværk, som giver gratis adgang til publikationer, bl.a. de europæiske dokumentationscentre, og at fællesskabsinstitutionerne gratis stiller en betragtelig mængde oplysninger til rådighed på Internettet.
The Commission further pointed out that it operated several networks, such as the European documentation centres, which provide free access to its publications and that the Community institutions were currently making a considerable amount of free information available on the Internet.
Der blev ikke modtaget bemærkninger fra klageren til Kommissionens udtalelse.
No observations on the Commission's opinion were received from the com plainant.
For så vidt angår prispolitikken, er det rigtigt, at det ud fra et åbenhedssynspunkt ikke kan udelukkes, at uforholdsmæssigt høje eller vilkårlige priser med urette kunne hindre EU-borgere i at få adgang til oplysninger, der er offentliggjort af fællesskabsinstitutionerne.
An exorbitant or arbitrary pricing policy could be inconsistent with the principle of transparency, by preventing European citizens from having access to information published by Community Institutions.
Det fremgår dog af Kommissionens redegørelse for den nuværende prispolitik, at denne tager udgangspunkt i objektive kriterier med det legitime mål at dække de omkostninger, der er forbundet med produktionen og distributionen af de pågældende dokumenter, og følgelig, at prispolitikken ikke udgør en fejl eller forsømmelse ud fra det anførte synspunkt.
However, it appears that the current pricing policy as described by the Commission is based on objective criteria with the legitimate aim of covering the costs of the pro duction and distribution of publications. Thus, the policy does not constitute maladministration.
Prispolitikken bør også betragtes i forbindelse med lighedsprincippet.
The pricing policy should also be considered in relation to the principle of equal treatment.
I hen hold til Domstolens retspraksis indebærer dette princip, at identiske situationer ikke må behandles forskelligt, og at forskellige situationer ikke må behandles identisk.
According to the case law of the Court of Justice, this principle implies that identical situations shall not be treated differently and different situations shall not be treated identically.
Afgørende for anvendelsen af dette princip er således at fastslå, om der er tale om identiske eller forskellige situationer.
The crucial question in applying this principle is to establish what is an identical or a different situ ation.
På den anden side kan der argumenteres for, at Kommissionen ved fast læggelsen af sin prispolitik bør tage hensyn til indkomstmønstret i Fællesskabet.
On the one hand, the Commission could take into account differences in income distribution in the Community in establishing its pricing policy.
Dette kan føre til en situation, hvor det samme dokument sælges til forskellige priser i forskellige medlemsstater.
This could lead to a situation where the same publication appeared with differ ent prices in different Member States.
På den anden side kan man sige, at det samme dokument principielt bør sælges til samme pris overalt.
On the other hand, one could con sider that the same publication should have substantially the same price wherever it is offered for sale.
Det er denne sidste løsning, Kommissionen øjensynlig har fundet hensigtsmæssig.
It appears that the Commission considers the second option to be appropriate.
Det må lægges til grund, at Kommissionen er berettiget hertil.
It appeared to be entitled to do so.
At Kommissionen finder, at det samme dokument principielt skal have samme pris, er således ikke i modstrid med lighedsprin-
Thus, the fact that the Commission considered that the same publication should in principle have the same price did not infringe the principle of equal treat ment.
AFGØRELSER cippet. Følgelig viste Ombudsmandens undersøgelse ikke noget tilfælde af fejl eller forsømmelser..
Consequently there appeared to be no instance of maladministration.
Ombudsmanden besluttede derfor at afslutte behandlingen af sagen.
The Ombudsman therefore closed the case.

STIPENDIUM FRA KOMMISSIONEN: SOCIALE SIKRINGSBIDRAG
COMMISSION FELLOWSHIP: SOCIAL SECURITY CONTRIBUTIONS
Afgørelse om klage 340/97/JMA over Europa-Kommissionen
Decision on complaint 340/97/JMA against the European Commission
I marts 1997 klagede fru L til Ombudsmanden over, at Kommissionen havde undladt at besvare en anmodning om oplysninger angående problemer omkring betaling af hendes understøttelse i Svejts.
In March 1997, Mrs L. complained to the Ombudsman that the Commission had failed to reply to a request for information concerning problems in the payment of her unemployment benefits in Switzerland.
Klageren havde modtaget et stipendium under Fællesskabets FTU-pro-gram "Human Capital and Mobility" (mobilitet for personer og kapital).
The complainant was the recipient of a fellowship from the Community RTD "Human Capital and Mobility" Programme.
Hun flyttede til Duebendorf, Svejts i december 1994 for at afslutte en videnskabelig forskning over en 12-måneders periode.
She moved to Duebendorf, Switzerland in December 1994 in order to complete a scientific research for a 20 month period.
Det var et krav, at modtagere af denne form for støtte selv skulle sørge for deres egen socialsikring.
Beneficiaries of this type of assistance were required to ensure their own social security scheme.
Som følge heraf indbetalte klageren sin arbejdsløshedsforsikring gennem hele denne periode.
Accordingly, the complainant paid her unemployment insurance during all that period.
Efter i juli 1996 at have afsluttet sin forskning flyttede hun til Zurich, hvor det ikke lykkedes hende at finde et arbejde.
After completing her research in July 1996, she moved to Zurich where she could not find employment.
Klageren anmodede derfor det svejtsiske kontor for socialsikring om at udbetale hende arbejdsløshedsunderstøttelse i denne by.
The com plainant requested then the payment of unemployment benefits from the Swiss Social Security office in that city.
Hun modtog imidlertid ikke noget positivt svar fra de svejtsiske myndigheder på hendes anmodning.
She did not obtain, however, any positive response from the Swiss authorities to her request.
Den 23. oktober 1996 skrev hun blandt andet til Kommissionen og bad om oplysninger, men hun fik ikke noget svar.
On 23 October 1996, she wrote to, amongst others, the Commission, requesting information but received no reply to her query.
I sin klage bad fru L Ombudsmanden om at foretage de nødvendige under søgelser for at sikre, at Kommissionen ville klarlægge situationen.
In her complaint, Mrs L. asked the Ombudsman to make the necessary inquiries to ensure that the Commission clarify the situation.
Kommissionens udtalelse følgende:
In summary, the Commission's opinion was as follows:
Trods en omhyggelig undersøgelse af de forskellige registreringssystemer for indkommende post var der ikke noget spor af hendes brev dateret den 23. oktober 1996 i Kommissionens arkiver. Kommissionen understregede, at brevet ikke var stilet til nogen bestemt person eller institution, men kun angav, at der blandt andet skulle sendes en kopi til "Commission Européenne (Directorat General)".
Despite a careful investigation in the various registration systems for incoming mail, there was no trace of the complainant's letter dated 23 October 1996 in the files of the Commission.
Kommissionen forklarede også, at der ikke var nogen EF-lov, der gjaldt for denne sag, idet de relevante bestemmelser, som fandtes i EF-for-ordning 1408/71 kun var udvidet til at gælde for Det Europæiske Økonomiske Samarbejdsområde og derfor ikke gjaldt for Svejts, der ikke deltager i EØS.
The Commission also explained that there was no EC legislation applicable to this case, since the relevant rules, namely EC Regulation 1408/71, extend their application only to the European Economic Area, and therefore not to Switzerland which is not part of the EEA.
For at hjælpe klageren erklærede Kommissionen, at den hurtigt ville kontakte de relevante nationale myndigheder for at søge yderligere oplysninger med henblik på en mulig løsning af denne sag, og at kla geren ville blive holdt underrettet om resultaterne.
In order to help the complainant, the Commission stated that it would rapidly contact the relevant national authorities to seek additional information towards a possible resolution of this case and that the com plainant would be kept informed of the results.
Yderligere oplysninger fra klageren
Additional information from the complainant
Før Ombudsmanden havde modtaget Kommissionens udtalelse, sendte klageren yderligere oplysninger i et brev af 10. juni 1997.1 brevet forklarede klageren, at hun havde fået oplyst, at der fandtes en bilateral aftale mellem Frankrig og Svejts om anerkendelse af retten til arbejdsløshedsunderstøttelse.
Before the Ombudsman had received the Commission's opinion, the com plainant sent additional information by letter of 10 June 1997. In the letter, the complainant explained that she had been informed of a bilateral agree ment on recognition of unemployment rights between France and Switzerland.
På baggrund af denne aftales bestemmelser var det lykkedes hende at få understøttelsesbidrag anerkendt fra og med oktober 1996.
On the basis of its provisions she had been able to have her unemployment contributions recognised as of October 1996.
Ikke desto mindre hævdede hun, at hendes første indbetalinger til socialsikring gik til bage til august 1996.
Nevertheless she claimed that her first social security payments dated back to August 1996.
Uden noget kendskab til denne bilaterale aftale havde klageren mistet muligheden for at udnytte fordelen ved en minimumsløn for at blive genintegreret på arbejdsmarkedet.
Without any information on this bilateral agreement, the complainant had lost the opportunity to take advantage of a minimum salary for reintegration in the labour market.
Som konklusion erklærede hun, at hun på grund af Kommissionens forsømmelse ved fuldt ud at forklare konsekvenserne for hendes stipendium havde mistet et betydeligt beløb.
In summary, she claimed that the failure of the Commission to fully explain the consequences of her fellowship had cost her a substantial amount of money.
Da de ikke var fremlagt i den oprindelige klage, undersøgte ombudsmanden ikke disse spørgsmål yderligere.
As they were not presented in the original complaint, the Ombudsman did not pursue these questions further.
Ombudsmanden sendte Kommissionens udtalelse til klageren, der ikke fremkom med nogen bemærkninger.
The Ombudsman forwarded the Commission's opinion to the complainant, who did not make any observations.
1 Som Ombudsmanden har fastslået i lignende sager, har Kommissionen som en offentlig administration pligt til på ordentlig måde at besvare bor gernes anmodninger.
As the Ombudsman has stated in similar cases, the Commission as a public administration is under a duty to properly reply to the queries of citizens.
2 I denne sag havde Kommissionen imidlertid begrundet sin forsømmelse ikke at besvare klagerens anmodning med, at man ikke havde fundet noget spor af hendes brev i institutionens forskellige registreringssystemer.
In this case, however, the Commission had justified its failure to reply to the complainant's request on the grounds that no trace of her letter was found in any of the various registration systems of the institution.
Da brevet blot var blevet kopieret til Kommissionen, og der ikke
Since the letter had merely been copied to the Commission, and no address had been included, it is conceivable that the postal services were not able to deliver the letter.
AFGØRELSER var påført nogen adresse, er det muligt, at posttjenesten ikke havde været i stand til at aflevere brevet.
In its opinion, the Commission gave a thorough reply to the problems posed by the complainant, and also the means to find a potential solution.
4 Da det så ud til, at der var givet et svar på klagerens anmodning, var der ikke nogen grund for Ombudsmanden til at forfølge sagen yderligere.
Since it appeared that a reply to the complainant's request had been given, there were no grounds for the Ombudsman to pursue this case further.
På baggrund af Ombudsmandens undersøgelser af denne klage syntes der ikke at have været noget tilfælde af fejl eller forsømmelser i Kommissionens embedsførelse, og Ombudsmanden afsluttede derfor sagen.
On the basis of the Ombudsman's inquiries into this complaint, there appeared to have been no maladministration by the Commission. The Ombudsman therefore closed the case.

Afgørelse om klage 376/97/PD over Europa-Kommissionen
Decision on complaint 376/97/PD against the European Commission
I maj 1997 indgav X. en klage til Ombudsmanden over Kommissionen med påstand om, at Kommissionen var ansvarlig for, at han ikke var blevet ansat i en stilling som administrerende direktør for et udviklingsprojekt, som ved rørte tre lande.
In May 1997, X made a complaint to the Ombudsman against the Commission, holding it responsible for the fact that he was not recruited for a post as executive director of a development project which concerned three countries.
Kommissionen finansierede den pågældende stilling og ydede finansiel bistand til ansættelsen.
The Commission funded the post in question and provided financial assistance for the recruitment.
