I maj traf Kommissionen beslutning om fornyet sagsanlæg med anmodning om tvangsbøder i følgende tilfælde.
In December the Commission decided to refer the following case back to the Court of Jus­tice and to request imposition of a penalty pay­ment.
Artikel 1, stk. 1, i Rådets direktiv 77/187/EØF om til nærmelse af medlemsstatemes lovgivning om varetagelse af arbejdstagernes rettigheder i forbindelse med overførsel af virksomheder, bedrifter eller dele af be drifter skal fortolkes således, at direktivet finder anven delse, såfremt en kommune, der som offentligretlig juridisk person handler inden for rammerne af specifikke forvaltningsretlige regler, overtager reklame- og informationsarbejde vedrørende kommunens tilbud til of fentligheden, hvilket arbejde indtil da i kommunens in teresse blev udført af en ikke-erhvervsdrivende sammenslutning, der var en privatretligjuridisk person, forudsat at den overdragne enhed bevarer sin identitet.
On a proper construction of Article 1(1) of Council Di­rective 77/187/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the safeguarding of employees' rights in the event of transfers of undertak­ings, businesses or parts of businesses, the Directive applies where a municipality, a legal person governed by public law operating within the framework of spe­cific mies of administrative law, takes over activities relating to publicity and information concerning the services which it offers to the public, where such activ­ities were previously carried out, in the interests of the municipality, by a non-profit-making association which was a legal person governed by private law, pro­vided always that the transferred entity retains its iden­tity.

Da Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv 98/43/EF om indbyrdes tilnærmelse af medlemsstaternes love og administrative bestemmelser om reklame for tobaksvarer og sponsorering til fordel for disse ved dom af dags dato i sagen Tyskland mod Europa-Parlamentet og Rådet (C-376/98) er blevet annulleret i det hele, er det ufornødent at besvare det præjudicielle spørgsmål.
Since Directive 98/43/EC on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to the advertising and sponsor­ship of tobacco products was annulled by the judgment delivered on the same day as this judgment in Case C-376/98 Germany ν Parliament and Council, there was no need to give a ruling on the question submitted.

Moreover, the Commission considered that the applica­tion of the criterion concerning employment as an 'ad­ditional criterion', along with price, time for perform­ance, etc., in the award of the contract was unlawful.
26.9.2000 — Forenede sager T-74/97 og T-75/97 — Biichel & Co. Fahrzeugteilefabrik GmbH mod Rådet og Kommissionen. EFTC 355 af 9.12.2000 7.8.57.
26.9.2000: Joined Cases T­74/97 and T­75/97 Biichel & Co. Fahrzeugteilefabrik ν Council and Commission. OJ C 355, 9.12.2000
Domstolen fastslog, at der forelå traktatbrud, undtagen på to punkter. Den udtalte bl.a., at de ordregivende myndigheder kan stille betingelser »i forbindelse med bekæmpelse af arbejdsløshed«, forudsat at det tilgodeser alle EU-rettens grundlæggende principper, og kun i det omfang, hvor disse myndigheder står over for to el ler flere prismæssigt ækvivalente bud.
The Court found that the failure subsisted except in the case of two complaints; in particular, it mied that the contracting authorities were entitled to take into consideration 'a condition linked to the campaign against unemployment', provided that the condition was consistent with all the fundamental principles of Community law and those authorities had received two or more economically equivalent tenders.
I den forstand vil en sådan betingelse betragtes som en underordnet be tingelse uden afgørende betydning, når først buddene var blevet sammenlignet ud fra et rent økonomisk synspunkt. punkt.
That condi­tion was considered a secondary criterion which was not decisive, i.e. as an additional criterion after the ten­ders were compared from a purely economic stand­point.
Domstolen forkastede Kommissionens anbringende om, at beskæftigelseskriteriet kun kunne tages i be tragtning som en betingelse for kontraktens gennemførelse og ikke som et kriterium for tildeling af kontrakten. Den henviste i denne henseende til dommen i Beentjes-sagen (sag C-31/87).
The Court rejected the Commission's argument that the criterion of improving the employment situation could only be taken into consideration as a condition of performance of the contract, not as a criterion for the award of the contract.
Med hensyn til anvendelsen af kriteriet angående be kæmpelse af arbejdsløshed, pointerede Domstolen, at det ikke måtte have »direkte eller indirekte virkning over for tilbudsgivere fra andre EU-lande« og måtte være »udtrykkeligt angivet i udbudsbekendtgørelsen, således at entreprenørerne kunne vide, at der bestod en sådan betingelse«.
Lastly, regarding the application of the award crite­rion of combating unemployment, the Court mied that this must not have any 'direct or indirect discriminatory effect on tenderers from other Member States of the Community' and must 'be expressly mentioned in the contract notice so that contractors may become aware of its existence'.
Gennemgang af retspraksis ved Domstolen og Retten i Første Instans fra 1. oktober til 31. december
Analysis of judgments delivered between 1 October and 31 December ν
Sag C-376/98 og C-74/99, Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland mod Europa-Parlamentet og Rådet, Domstolens dom af 5. oktober 2000.
Case C­225/98 Commission Court judgment of 26 September.
Offentlige kontrakter; beskæftigelseskriterium som supplerende kriterium.
Public works contracts; additional criterion of re­duction of employment.
Reklamer for tobaksvarer; afgrænsningen mellem Fællesskabets og medlemsstaternes kompetence.
Advertising of tobacco products; allocation of powers between the Member States and the Com­munity institutions.
Kommissionen gjorde gældende, at Frankrig havde tilsidesat sine forpligtelser i henhold til EF-traktatens artikel 49, direktiv 71/305/EØF, som ændret ved direktiv 89/440/EØF, og direktiv 93/37/EØF om samordning af fremgangsmåderne med hensyn til indgåelse af offentlige bygge- og anlægskontrakter, ved ikke at følge bestemte fremgangsmåder for tildeling af offentlige kontrakter om bygning og vedligeholdelse af skoler udbudt af regionen Nord-Pas-De-Calais og departementet Nord i en treårig periode.
The Commission brought an action against France on the grounds of failure to fulfil its obligations under Article 49 of the EC Treaty, Directive 71/305/EEC, as amended by Directive 89/440/EEC, and Directive 93/37/EEC concerning the coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts through the failure on the part of the Nord­Pas­de­Calais region and the Département du Nord to apply over a period of three years certain procedures in the prescribed rules for the award of public works contracts for the con­struction and maintenance of school buildings.
I dette direktiv nedlægges der et generelt forbud mod reklamer og sponsorering for to baksvarer, og det blev vedtaget med det formål at fjerne de hindringer for det indre marked, der skyldes hindringer for frie varebevægelser og fri udveksling af tjene steydelser samt konkurrencefordrejninger som følge af forskellene i medlemsstatemes lovgivning på dette om råde.
The Directive laid down a general prohibition on the advertising and sponsorship of those products and was adopted with a view to removing im­pediments to the operation of the internal market caused by obstacles to the movement of products and freedom to provide services and by distortions of com­petition caused by the divergences in the national rules in this field.

Retspraksis ved Domstolen og Retten i Første Instans direktiv.
Decisions by the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance
Den første var et annullationssøgsmål anlagt af Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland, der navnlig gjorde gældende, at traktatens artikel 57, stk. 2, samt artikel 66 og 100 A ikke udgør et egnet retsgrundlag for direkti­vet, og at artikel 30 og 36 var overtrådt. Den anden dre­jede sig om et præjudicielt spørgsmål rejst af den briti­ske High Court of Justice.
Germany, pleading in particular that the former Arti­cles 57(2), 66 and 100a did not constitute an appropri­ate legal basis for the directive and that there had been an infringement of the former Articles 30 and 36, while the second was in the form of a reference for a prelim­inary ruling submitted by the High Court of Justice of England and Wales.
Ved beslutning 91/1/EØF, som ikke blev bestredet af den spanske regering, havde Kommissionen, efter at have modtaget en klage, erklæret støtten for ulovlig og havde anmodet de spanske myndigheder om at tilbage­søge støtten.
By Decision 91/1/EEC, which was not challenged by the Spanish Government, the Commission, which had received a complaint, declared that the aid was illegal and requested the Spanish authorities to recover it.
I 1997 modtog Kommissionen syv nye klager vedrørende de fordele, som virksomhederne i Magefesa­koncemen havde opnået som følge af, at denne støtte ikke var blevet tilbagebetalt, og fordi virk­somhederne ikke havde overholdt deres forpligtelser med hensyn til betaling af skatter og sociale bidrag.
In 1997 the Commission received seven new complaints about the advantages which the companies in the Magefesa group had gained as a result of their failure to repay the aid and to comply with their financial and fis­cal obligations.
Ved beslutning 1999/509/EF erklærede Kommissionen den støtte, der var ydet i form af den fortsat manglende betaling af skatter og sociale bidrag, ulovlig, for nogle af virksomhedernes vedkommende indtil deres konkur­serklæring og for andres vedkommende frem til indstil­lingen af deres aktiviteter.
By Decision 1999/509/EC, the Com­mission declared illegal the aid in the form of persistent non-payment of taxes and social-security contributions by the companies in the group until they were declared insolvent or ceased trading.
Spanien anlagde herefter sag med påstand om annullation af sidstnævnte kommissi­onsbeslutning.
Spain brought an action for the annulment of the later Commission decision.
I sin dom annullerede Domstolen direktivet i dets helhed under henvisning til, at EU­lovgiveren ikke havde kompetence til at vedtage det med hjemmel i be­stemmelserne om gennemførelse af det indre marked, etableringsret og fri udveksling af tjenesteydelser.
In its judgment, the Court annulled the directive in its entirety on the grounds that the Community legislature did not have power to adopt it under the provisions on the establishment of the internal market, the right of es­tablishment and the free movement of services.
Domstolen erindrede først og fremmest om, at trakta­tens artikel 129, stk. 4, første led, udelukker en harmo­nisering af de love og bestemmelser, medlemsstaterne har vedtaget til beskyttelse og forbedring af folkesund­heden, men fandt, at dette »ikke indebærer, at harmoni­seringsforanstaltninger vedtaget på grundlag af andre traktatbestemmelser ikke må have indvirkning på be­skyttelsen af folkesundheden«, på betingelse af, at for­målet med at vedtage dem med hjemmel i andre traktat­bestemmelser ikke er at omgå den udtrykkelige bestemmelse i artikel 129, stk. 4, første led.
Firstly, it pointed out that harmonisation of laws of the Member States aimed at protecting and improving human health was excluded under the first indent of Article 129(4) the Treaty but considered that that provision 'does not mean that harmonising measures adopted on the basis of other provisions of the Treaty cannot have any im­pact on the protection of human health' provided that resort to other articles of the Treaty was not in order to circumvent the express exclusion of harmonisation laid down in the first indent of Article 129(4).
Domstolen fastslog derefter, at når man sammenhol­der artikel 100 A, artikel 3 Β og artikel 7 A, fremgår det, at de vedtagne foranstaltninger »reelt skal have til formål at lette gennemførelsen af det indre marked.
The Spanish Government's arguments were based on the Court ruling in Case C-295/97, which in­cluded among the conditions for treating a national measure as State aid that it should be a specific measure and not a generally applicable mie.
Hvis man fortolker dem således, at de giver EU­lovgi­veren generel beføjelse til at regulere det indre marked, vil det ikke alene være i strid med selve ordlyden i de nævnte bestemmelser, men også uforeneligt med prin­cippet i artikel 3 Β om, at Fællesskabets beføjelser er de beføjelser, det har fået tillagt«.
The Court stated that it was not those mies as such that were to be treated as state aid but the systematic non-payment of certain debts and the contracting of new debts as a result of a decision of the public-authority creditors not to request that the companies be put into liquidation.
Den spanske regering påberåbte sig Dom­stolens retspraksis (sag C­295/97), hvorefter en af betingelserne for, at en national foranstaltning er stats­støtte, er, at der er tale om en særlig foranstaltning og ikke en generel ordning.
The Court then mied that the former Articles 100a, 3c and 7a, read together, showed that the measures adopted must be 'intended to improve the conditions for the establishment and functioning of the internal market.
Domstolen fastslog, at det ikke er denne lovgivning som sådan, der skal kvalificeres som statsstøtte, men den omstændighed, at virksomhe­derne konsekvent har undladt at betale visse gældspo­ster, og at der er akkumuleret ny gæld som følge af de offentlige.kreditorers beslutning om ikke at indgive konkursbegæring mod virksomhederne.
To construe Article (101a(l)) as meaning that it vests in the Community legislature a general power to regulate the internal market would not only be contrary to the express wording of the provisions cited above but would also be incompatible with the principle embod­ied in Article 3b of the EC Treaty that the powers of the Community are limited to those specifically conferred on it'.
Domstolen tog derefter stilling til, om den omhand­lede foranstaltning rent faktisk havde til formål af for­bedre det indre marked, dvs. tog sigte på at fjerne hin­dringer for frie varebevægelser og fri udveksling af tjenesteydelser samt eliminere konkurrencefordrejnin­ger.
The Court mied that certain measures, or indeed the absence of measures, taken by the authorities could confer an advantage on the companies.
Den nåede frem til den konklusion, at det faktiske formål med direktivet ikke var at forbedre det indre marked.
From this it concluded that the treatment by the public-authority creditors of the debtor companies which were suspend­ing their payments, in that the creditors refrained from requesting that the companies be placed in liquidation and thus permitted them to continue trading, might be regarded as State aid in circumstances such as those in the present case.
Domstolen udtalte, at den omstændighed, at myndig­hederne har eller ikke har truffet foranstaltninger, kan være en fordel for de pågældende virksomheder.
The Court further considered whether the measure in question was actually intended to improve the internal market, i.e. whether it aimed at the elimination of ob­stacles to the free movement of goods and to freedom to provide services and of distortions of competition.
De of­fentlige kreditorer har, ved ikke at indgive konkursbe­gæring mod de pågældende virksomheder, som var i betalingsstandsning, gjort det muligt for virksomhe­derne at fortsætte deres aktiviteter.
It concluded that the directive was not actually intended to improve the market.
Ved denne dom foretog Domstolen en afgrænsning mellem Fællesskabets og medlemsstaternes kompe­tence.
In this judgment, the Court has clarified the bound­ary between the powers of the Community and those of the Member States.
Sag C­480/98, Spanien mod Kommissio­nen, Domstolens dom af 12. oktober 2000.
Case C-480/98 Spain ν Court judgment of 12 October.
Statsstøtte; virksomheder under konkurs.
State aid; companies in liquidation.
Med hensyn til spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt der skal be­regnes renter af tilbagesøgte beløb fra virksomheder, der er erklæret konkurs, gav Domstolen Spanien med­hold og fastslog, at den nationale bestemmelse, hvoref­ter der ikke beregnes renter af fordringer på virksomhe­der, der er erklæret konkurs, fra konkurserklæringen, er »berettiget ud fra kreditorernes fælles interesse i, at den konkursramte virksomhed ikke pålægges yderligere forpligtelser, som kan forværre virksomhedens situa­tion«.
Regarding the interest payable on the recovery of aid incompatible with the Treaty from an enterprise in liq­uidation, the Court upheld Spain's position, laying down that the provisions of national law to the effect that the debts of companies that had been declared in­solvent ceased to produce interest after that declaration, was 'justified by the common interest of all creditors in not burdening the insolvent undertaking's assets with new debts likely to worsen the situation'.
Under alle omstændigheder fandt Domstolen, at »i betragtning af det formål, som forfølges med de på­gældende bestemmelser, den manglende forskelsbe­
The Court considered that, in those circumstances, 'taking ac­count of the legislation's objective, the absence of any discrimination in its application and the fact that it ap­plies only to interest falling due after the declaration of insolvency on aid unlawfully received before that dec­laration, the legislation cannot be regarded as rendering the recovery of aid required by Community law virtu­ally impossible'.

Sag C-168/98, Luxembourg mod Parlamentet og Rådet, Domstolens dom af 7. november 2000.
Case C­168/98 Luxembourg ν Parliament and Council, Court judgment of 7 November.
Gensidig anerkendelse af eksamensbeviser; advokaterhvervet. katerhvervet.
Mutual recognition of diplomas; profession of lawyer.
Dommen markerer en milepæl i retspraksis angående EF-traktatens artikel 43.
The judgment is an important stage in the Court's case­law on Article 43 of the EC Treaty.
Etableringsretten kan ikke af hænge af kriterierne for udøvelse af et erhverv i hver medlemsstat.
The right of establishment cannot be made conditional on criteria which apply to the practice of the profession in each Member State.
En advokat må kunne etablere sig i en an den medlemsstat uden at skulle opfylde en betingelse gående ud på, at han skal være fuldgyldigt medlem af dette erhverv i dette land, medmindre denne betingelse er nødvendig ud fra almene hensyn.
A lawyer can establish himself in an­other Member State without fulfilling the condition of full membership of the profession in that State unless that is necessary for overriding reasons of public inter­est.
Begrebet ret; arbejdskraftens frie bevægelighed.
— Definition of court or tribunal; freedom of movement for workers.
Domstolen afviste påstanden om, at direktivet var uforeneligt med artikel 43.
The Court rejected the argument that the directive was incompatible with Article 43.
Den erindrede om, at det grundlæggende princip om ikke-forskelsbehandling in debærer, at sammenlignelige situationer ikke må be handles forskelligt.
It recalled that the fundamental principle of non­discrimination required that comparable situations should not be treated differ­ently.
Den fandt, at dette princip ikke var blevet overtrådt ved dette direktiv, eftersom en uden landsk advokat, der udøver advokatvirksomhed under sin hjemlandstitel, objektivt set befinder sig i en anden situation end en indenlandsk advokat.
It considered that the directive had not infringed that principle since the situation of a migrant lawyer practising under his home­country title and the situa­tion of a lawyer practising under the professional title of the host Member State were objectively different.
EU-lovgiveren har ikke tilsidesat det overordnede ligebehandlingsprincip ved at behandle ikke-sammenlignelige situatio ner forskelligt.
The Community legislature had not infringed the gen­eral principle of equality by according different treat­ment to situations that were not comparable.
Med hensyn til fortolkningen af traktatens artikel 177 fastslog Domstolen, at Oberster Gerichtshof opfylder alle de kriterier, der kendetegner en ret i traktatens artikel 177's forstand: »Oberster Gerichtshof er således oprettet ved lov, er uafhængig og udøver sine funktioner permanent«.
Concerning the interpretation of Article 177 of the Treaty, the Court mied that the Oberster Gerichtshof fulfilled all the criteria to be a court or tribunal within the meaning of the former Article 177 of the Treaty: 'it is established by law, it is independent and exercises its activities on a permanent basis'.
