Domstolen og Retten ønsker at henlede medlemsstaternes og institutionernes opmærksomhed på vigtigheden af, at regeringskonferencen beslutter visse ændringer af traktaterne, for at Den Europæiske Unions domstolsordning fortsat kan udføre sin opgave under tilfredsstillende vilkår.
For the purposes of analysing the current situation, the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance refer to their discussion paper of May 1999 on the future of the judicial system of the European Union, and observe that the trends noted in that document have been confirmed since it was first produced.
Afgørende for, om domstolsordningen kan fungere, er ikke alene antallet af Domstolens og Rettens medlemmer, men også disse retsinstansers muligheder for at tilpasse sig udviklingen i deres arbejde.
The Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance are mindful of the desirability of other measures proposed in, inter alia, the report of the study group on the future of the judicial system of the European Communities, which was submitted to the Commission in January 2000.
Nærværende dokument, hvori det bevidst undlades at behandle spørgsmålet om retsinstansernes sammensætning, koncentrerer sig om de kompetence- og procedureregler, der er indeholdt i traktaterne, og som efter institutionens opfattelse bør ændres.
They regard the proposals set out in this contribution not as the culmination of the debate initiated on the future of the Community justice system, which must continue, but rather as minimum steps needing to be taken in order to give the institution the flexibility which it needs if it is to be able, in the immediate future, to adjust to the growth and diversification of its task.
Hensigten med nærværende bidrag er alene at fremsætte forslag til ændringer af EF-traktaten, som efter institutionens opfattelse bør gives første prioritet.
EXPLANATION OF THE AMENDMENTS TO THE EC TREATY PROPOSED BY THE COURT OF JUSTICE AND THE COURT OF FIRST INSTANCE
Domstolen og Retten underkender ikke vigtigheden af andre forslag, der bl.a. er fremsat i Refleksionsgruppens rapport vedrørende De Europæiske Fællesskabers domstolsordnings fremtid, som er overgivet til Kommissionen i januar 2000.
In Chapter III of their discussion paper on the future of the judicial system of the European Union, which was sent to the Council on 10 May 1999, the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance set out various suggested measures which do not affect the judicial structure of the Community and on which a decision could therefore be taken without further ado, but which involve amendment of the rules laid down in the Treaties.
De opfatter ikke de forslag, der er indeholdt i nærværende bidrag, som en afslutning på overvejelserne omkring fremtiden for Fællesskabets retsinstanser — idet disse overvejelser skal fortsættes — men som minimumsforanstaltninger med henblik på at give institutionen den smidighed, der er nødvendig, for at den straks kan tilpasse sig udviklingen i retning af stadig mere omfattende og forskelligartede opgaver.
The proposals submitted in that regard concerned the conferment on the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance of the power to amend their Rules of Procedure themselves, the introduction of a system for filtering appeals against judgments of the Court of First Instance and alterations to the way in which staff cases are handled.
I- FORKLARENDE BEMÆRKNINGER TEL DE AF DOMSTOLEN OG RETTEN FORESLÅEDE ÆNDRINGER AF EF-TRAKTATEN
The texts set out below give expression to those three proposals, in the form of suggested amendments to the EC Treaty.
I kapitel III i deres oplæg vedrørende Den Europæiske Unions domstolsordnings fremtid, som blev overgivet til Rådet den 10. maj 1999, nævner Domstolen og Retten bestemte tiltag, der ikke sætter spørgsmålstegn ved den hidtidige struktur for Fællesskabets domstolsordning, og som således vil kunne besluttes uden yderligere ophold, men som forudsætter en ændring af bestemmelser i traktaterne.
They also incorporate two suggestions which were put forward in the report of the study group set up by the Commission and which have been approved by the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance. The first provides for the possibility, where appropriate in certain matters falling within the ambit of 'special proceedings', of the adoption, in accordance with the procedure described in Article 225(2), of a unanimous decision by the Council conferring on the Court of First Instance jurisdiction to answer questions referred for a preliminary ruling.
Disse forslag går ud på at give Domstolen og Retten kompetence til selv at ændre deres procesreglement, at indføre en filtrering af appelsager til prøvelse af Rettens domme og at ændre fremgangsmåden for behandlingen af EF-personalesager.
The second suggestion proposes that, in matters concerning, for example, industrial and commercial property, and as in the case of actions brought by Community staff, boards of appeal should be set up with judicial power to hear and determine disputes before such disputes can be brought before the Court of Justice and, initially, the Court of First Instance.
Proceduren for ændring af procesreglementerne
Procedure for amendment of the Rules of Procedure
Kravet om, at Rådet enstemmigt skal godkende enhver ændring af Domstolens og Rettens procesreglement, kan i en udvidet Union komme til at udgøre en hindring for nødvendige tilpasninger af retsinstanserne til deres nye opgaver, og kravet forekommer unødvendigt, da de fleste af de procedureregler, der er særligt vigtige, institutionelt eller politisk, findes i statutten.
In an enlarged Union, the requirement that amendments to the Rules of Procedure of the Court of Justice and of the Court of First Instance be unanimously approved by the Council may give rise to a lack of flexibility which is incompatible with the need for the courts to adapt to their new work.
Det kan i øvrigt bemærkes, at andre retsinstanser såsom Den Internationale Domstol og Den Europæiske Menneskerettighedsdomstol selv vedtager deres procesreglement.
Such inflexibility is unnecessary, particularly since most of the procedural provisions having any special importance in terms of institutional considerations or matters of policy are contained in the Statute.
Domstolen og Retten foreslår derfor principalt, at bestemmelsen »Reglementet kræver Rådets enstemmige godkendelse« i artikel 245, stk. 3, andet punktum, og artikel 225, stk. 4, andet punktum, udgår.
The Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance therefore propose the removal of the words 'Those rules shall require the unanimous approval of the Council' from the end of the third paragraph of Article 245 and the end of Article 225(4).
Subsidiært foreslås det, at den udgåede bestemmelse i de to artikler affattes således: »Reglementet kræver Rådets godkendelse« eller »Reglementet kræver Rådets godkendelse med kvalificeret flertal«.
Alternatively, the wording to be removed from those two articles could be replaced by the following: 'Those rules shall require the approval of the Council', or by: 'Those rules shall require the approval of the Council acting by a qualified majority'.
Om fornødent kan man i samme forbindelse i statuttens afsnit III indsætte de procedureregler, der hidtil ikke er medtaget i dette afsnit, og som efter institutionernes eller medlemsstaternes opfattelse fortsat kun bør kunne ændres af Rådet med enstemmighed.
That measure could, if appropriate, be accompanied by the listing in Title III of the Statute of those procedural rules which do not yet appear in it and which should, in the view of the institutions or the Member States, continue to be subject to unanimous approval by the Council.
Filtrering af appelsager
Filtering of appeals
Formålet med Domstolens og Rettens forslag er at give Domstolen mulighed for i visse tilfælde at begrænse adgangen til at appellere Rettens afgørelser til Domstolen.
The proposal put forward by the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance is designed to enable the Court of Justice, in certain cases, to restrict recourse to it by way of appeal against decisions given by the Court of First Instance.
Dette vil navnlig kunne ske, såfremt sagen — således som det er tilfældet i sager om EF-varemærker eller i personalesager, hvis det i punkt 4 indeholdte forslag måtte blive fulgt — allerede er blevet behandlet af en klageinstans, der har truffet en retslig afgørelse, og dernæst af Retten.
In particular, that would be the position where — as in cases concerning the Community trade mark or staff cases if the proposal set out in point 4 is accepted — the matter had already been judicially considered and decided by an appellate body before coming before the Court of First Instance.
Med denne formulering vil det fortsat blive fastslået, at der som udgangspunkt er adgang til appel, idet der indføres mulighed for, at Rådet på begæring af Domstolen og efter høring af Parlamentet og Kommissionen med enstemmighed gennem en ændring af statuttens afsnit IV kan fastsætte bestemte arter af sager, for hvilke der kan indføres en filtrering af appelsager.
amendment of Title IV of the Statute, those classes of cases in respect of which a system for filtering appeals could be introduced.
Mulighed for at tildele Retten kompetence i præjudicielle sager
Possible conferment on the Court of First Instance of jurisdiction to give preliminary rulings
Den foreslåede ændring vil gøre det muligt, at der, når der måtte blive behov herfor, gennem en ændring af statutten kan gives Retten kompetence til at besvare præjudicielle spørgsmål, som forelægges af de nationale domstole i visse særlige, nærmere afgrænsede sager, hvor Fællesskabets interesser ikke gør det påkrævet, at Domstolen forbliver enekompetent.
The proposed amendment would permit the conferment on the Court of First Instance, where necessary and by way of amendment of the Statute, of jurisdiction to answer questions referred for a preliminary ruling by national courts in certain circumscribed, specific cases in which the Community interest would not require the Court of Justice to have exclusive powers.
Der vil ikke kunne gives adgang til at appellere de afgørelser, Retten træffer i henhold til denne kompetence, idet dette ville medføre en uacceptabel forlængelse af den præjudicielle procedure.
No right of appeal would lie against rulings given by the Court of First Instance in the exercise of that jurisdiction, since to allow such a right would excessively prolong the preliminary rulings procedure.
Der vil derimod skulle gives Domstolen mulighed for under visse nærmere bestemte betingelser at foretage en prøvelse af Rettens præjudicielle afgørelse i de tilfælde, hvor dette måtte vise sig nødvendigt for at sikre enheden og sammenhængen i fællesskabsretten, hvilket pr. definition vil være undtagelsestilfælde.
On the other hand, in certain circumstances to be determined, the Court of Justice should have the power to review preliminary rulings given by the Court of First Instance in those — by definition, exceptional — cases where such a review proves necessary in order to safeguard the unity and coherence of Community law.
Ændring af fremgangsmåden for behandlingen af personalesager
Changes to the handling of staff cases
For at opnå en bedre udnyttelse af Rettens ressourcer og begrænse antallet af appelsager til Domstolen er det blevet foreslået, at tvister mellem Fællesskabet og dets ansatte skal indbringes for en klageinstans, som har kompetence til at træffe retslig afgørelse i sagen, inden denne kan indbringes for Retten.
In order to enable better use to be made of the resources of the Court of First Instance and to limit appeals to the Court of Justice, it has been proposed that, before disputes between the Community and its servants can be brought before the Court of First Instance, they should be mandatorily referred to a board of appeal with judicial powers to determine such disputes.
Klageinstansen skal — som anbefalet af den af Kommissionen nedsatte arbejdsgruppe — have domstolskarakter, således at der gives de berørte ansatte de fornødne proceduremæssige garantier.
As suggested by the working group set up by the Commission, the board should be of a judicial nature, so as to offer the servants concerned the requisite procedural guarantees.
Dette vil gøre det muligt at begrænse adgangen til at appellere de domme, som Retten i realiteten afsiger i anden instans, til Domstolen.
This would make it possible to attach restrictions to the right to appeal to the Court of Justice against judgments of the Court of First Instance given, in effect, at second instance.
Klageinstansens domstolskarakter skal ikke indebære, at den er afskåret fra at mægle mellem parterne.
Nevertheless, as noted in the report of the study group set up by the Commission, such tribunals would meet needs which are already apparent or foreseeable, particularly in matters concerning industrial and commercial property law. Any ambiguity surrounding
Mulighed for at oprette andre klageinstanser med domstolskarakter
It is proposed that the requisite legal basis be incorporated in the Treaty by the addition of a new paragraph to Article 236, with jurisdiction in staff cases being expressly conferred on a board of appeal by the first paragraph of that article.
