Det kræves ikke, at begrundelsen angiver alle de forskellige relevante faktiske og retlige momenter, da spørgsmålet, om en retsakts begrundelse opfylder kravene efter traktatens artikel 190, ikke blot skal vurderes i forhold til ordlyden, men ligeledes til den sammenhæng, hvori den indgår, samt under hensyn til alle de retsregler, som gælder på det pågældende område (jf. dommen i sagen Italien og Sardegna Lines mod Kommissionen, præmis 65). Dette gælder så meget desto mere, når medlemsstaterne har været dybt inddraget i udarbejdelsen af den omtvistede retsakt og således kender de begrundelser, som ligger til grund for retsakten (jf. dom af 17.10.1995, sag C-

Den Italienske Republiks anbringender til støtte for påstanden om annullation af artikel 2, stk 2, i forordning nr. 49/1999 og tabellen vedrørende almindelig tun, der er indeholdt i bilaget til forordningen
(Common agricultural policy Fisheries - Blue fin tuna Regulation (EC) No 49/1999 -Statement of reasons Total allowable catches (TACs) Allocation of TACs among Member States Principle of relative stability ~ Determination of basic data — Complex economic situation — Discretion - International Convention for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas —Accession of the Community Impact on the allocation of TACs to Member States - Principle of non-discrimination) (Fifth Chamber) the share available to the Community among the Member States in accordance with Article 8(4)(ii) of Regulation No 3760/92.
Den Italienske Republik har i den foreliggende sag ikke godtgjort, at artikel 2, stk. 2, i forordning nr. 49/1999 er utilstrækkeligt begrundet.
Regulation No 491999 carries out, in essence, the same operation as Regulation No 65/98; however, its period of validity is not limited to one year.
Det fremgår det af sagens retlige og faktiske omstændigheder, således som det er blevet anført, bl.a. i denne doms præmis 16-20, at Rådet i den foreliggende sag på ingen måde har haft til hensigt at fravige princippet om relativ stabilitet, eftersom det fastsatte procentsatser for fordeling af Fællesskabets andel vedrørende almindelig tun, der er omhandlet i artikel 2, stk. 1, i forordning nr. 49/1999, ved at anvende den samme fordelingsnøgle som den ICCAT anvendte.
Article 2(1) of Regulation No 49/99 determines, in general terms, the percentages allocated to Member States from the share available to the Community- of bluefin tuna stocks in the Eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean, whereas paragraph 2 of that article lays down specific conditions for the allocation of that stock only for 1999.
Forordningen henviser udtrykkeligt til Fællesskabets internationale forpligtelser på området for bevarelse og forvaltning af havets levende ressourcer, herunder navnlig til ICCATs bindende henstillinger.
It is necessary to refer to the Annex to Regulation No 49/1999 to determine, in quantitative terms, the TAC for bluefin tuna for 1999 and the allocation to the Member States of the share available to the Community.
Mere subsidiært har Den Italienske Republik påberåbt sig, at de kriterier, der er vedtaget for at gennemføre princippet om relativ stabilitet, er klart uhensigtsmæssige.
The dispute giving rise to these proceedings was prompted by the implementation of the recommendations of the International and Commision for the Consenation of Atlantic-Tunas ('ICCAT') by the Community and the repercussions thereof for the allocation of bluefin tuna catch quotas among the Member States.
Som det allerede er anført, har Den Italienske Republik været dybt inddraget i forberedelsen af ICCATs ellevte ekstraordinære møde og i de forhandlinger, der førte til vedtagelsen af forordning nr. 49/1999.
Following accession by the Community to the International Convention, for the Consenation of Atlantic Tunas ('the Convention'), as amended by the Protocol signed in Paris on 10 July 1984, the Council adopted two regulations designed to transpose ICCAT recommendations into Community' law.
Den Italienske Republik har under disse omstændigheder ikke kunnet være uvidende om grundlaget for fordelingen af Fællesskabets andel vedrørende almindelig tun for 1999 mellem medlemsstaterne.
The percentages allocated by Article 2(1) of Regulation No 49/1999 were determined on the basis of the same method of apportionment as that used by ICCAT. so that the catch quotas were allocated on the basis of unrevised figures for catches taken by the Member States concerned in 1993 or 1994. the higher annual figure being adopted for each Member State.
Fleksibiliteten med hensyn til referenceperioden er særlig vigtig, når denne bestand forvaltes af en international fiskeriorganisation, og når procentsatserne for fordeling inden for
By Regulation No 65/98, which is not at issue in these proceedings, the Council fixed TACs for bluefin tuna and swordfish for 1998 and allocated
Med de to første led af sit andet subsidiære anbringende, der behandles først, har Den
As regards allocation between the Member States of the share of bluefin tuna available to the
Det var således Fællesskabet, der blev pålagt at fratrække reduktionen for overfiskeri i 1997 i sin disponible kvote for 1999.
Community for 1999, it appears from paragraph 12 of the Council's defence that it was carried out as follows:
Med det tredje led af dette anbringende har Den Italienske Republik bestridt, at Rådet ved fordelingen af Fællesskabets kvote vedrørende almindelig tun for 1999 kunne tage hensyn til de fangstoverskridelser, som Italien foretog i løbet af 1997.
(a) the Council first deducted from the Community quota of 20 165 tonnes a quantity of 60 tonnes which was resened for all the Member States;
Italienske Republik i det væsentlige gjort gældende, at de forhandlinger, som Fællesskabet har haft i ICCAT, og som der henvises til i artikel 1, stk. 3, i forordning nr. 65/98, ikke har kunnet omfatte reduktionerne af visse medlemsstaters overfiskeri i 1997, og at de pågældende medlemsstater under alle omstændigheder burde været givet mulighed for at varetage deres interesser inden for rammerne af sådanne drøftelser.
Article 2(1) of Regulation No 49/1999 is to be found in the fourth recital in the preamble to that regulation, according to which 'the percentage shares of the Member States in catches from the Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean stocks for bluefin tuna should be set'. In its view, that statement is merely a semblance of reasoning since it is self-evident that the TAC. which is intended to be exploited by the Member States, must be divided into national quotas.
Rådet har — stillet over for nødvendigheden af at foretage reduktioner i forhold til de berørte medlemsstater for det overfiskeri, som de havde foretaget i 1997, men som blev pålagt Fællesskabet direkte af ICCAT - med rette, og uden på nogen måde at overskride grænserne for sin skønsbeføjelse, for så vidt angår Den Italienske Republik kunnet lade denne stat bære følgerne af sit overfiskeri i 1997, idet disse dog blev afbødet ved en EF-solidaritetsmekanisme.
the Council then converted the Member States' percentage shares into absolute quantities and deducted from them, for the five Member States principally involved in bluefin tuna fishing, the quantities fished in 1997 by those States in excess of the maximum authorised catch limits (totalling 4 029 tonnes, of which 2 666 tonnes were accounted for by the Italian Republicalone);
- Tilsidesættelse af princippet om forbud mod forskelsbehandling
Case C-288/96 Germany ν Commission, paragraph 82, and Joined Cases C-15/98 and C-105/99 Italy and Sardinia Lines ν Commission, paragraph 65).
For så vidt angår det første subsidiære anbringende om tilsidesættelse af princippet om forbud mod forskelsbehandling bemærkes, at Den Italienske Republik ikke har ført bevis for en sådan tilsidesættelse.
(c) finally, the Council effected a set-off in favour of the Member States on which the quota reduction resulting from the application of those deductions had the greatest impact: thus, the Council decided to introduce a solidarity mechanism under which 850 tonnes of bluefin tuna were deducted from the quota allocated to three Member States, namely the Kingdom of Spain, the French Republic and the Portuguese Republic, for reallocation to the Hellenic Republic and the Italian Republic, the former receiving 100 tonnes and the latter 750 tonnes.
Indledningsvis bemærkes i denne forbindelse, at Fællesskabet ved sin tiltrædelse af konventionen, som ændret ved protokollen undertegnet i Paris den 10. juli 1984, i overensstemmelse med konventionens artikel XIV, stk. 6, indtrådte i de rettigheder og forpligtelser, som de medlemsstater, der allerede var part i konventionen, havde.
It is against Regulation No 49/1999 that the present action has been brought by the Italian Republic, which bases its claim for partial annulment of the regulation on the claim that it has been adversely affected both by the permanent allocation of percentages of the TAC for bluefin tuna in Article 2(1) and by the quantitative allocation for 1999 provided for in Article 2(2).
Fællesskabet var derfor som det eneste kompetente organ fuldt ud bemyndiget til, som led i de forhandlinger vedrørende Fællesskabets andel, der fandt sted i ICCAT, at drøfte alle relevante forhold, herunder konsekvenserne af visse medlemsstaters overfiskeri før Fællesskabets tiltrædelse af ICCAT.
It is not necessary for the reasoning to go into all the relevant facts and points of law since the question whether the statement of reasons meets the requirements of Article 190 of the Treaty must be assessed with regard not only to its wording but also to its context and to all the legal rules governing the matter in question (see Italy and Sardinia Lines ν Commission, cited above, paragraph 65).
Fællesskabet var derfor bundet af ICCATs tidligere henstillinger, herunder navnlig henstilling nr. 96-14, hvori der fastsættes et princip om, at fiskekvoterne reduceres, såfremt en kontraherende part i løbet af en given forvaltningsperiode overskrider sin fangstkvote.
That is a fortiori the case where the Member States have been closelyassociated with the process of drafting the contested measure and are thus aware of the reasons underlying the measure (see Case C-478/93 Netherlands ν Commission. paragraph 50).

DEM med den begrundelse, at gennemførelsen af tilbagesøgningskravet for dette beløb ville medføre NMH's øjeblikkelige konkurs.
By its first plea, the Italian Republic claims that the only statement of reasons supporting Article 2(2) of Regulation No 49/1999 is to be found in the fifth recital in the preamble to that regulation to the effect that 'for 1999 an ad hoc distribution among the Member States should be made in view of the special circumstances due to the Community's accession to ICCAT'.
Ved kendelse af 3. maj 1996 (sag C399/95 R, Tyskland mod Kommissionen) bestemte Domstolens præsident, at begæringen ikke skulle tages til følge.
In this case, the Italian Republic has not shown that Article 2(2) of Regulation No 49/1999 is not supported by an adequate statement of reasons.
Ved stævning indleveret til Domstolens Justitskontor den 23. juli 1999 har Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland anlagt sag i medfør af artikel 88, stk. 2, KS med påstand om annullation af Kommissionens beslutning 1999/597/EKSF af 21. april 1999 i en procedure efter EKSF-traktatens artikel 88 om Tysklands statsstøtte til fordel for Neue Maxhütte Stahlwerke GmbH.
It is clear from the legal and factual background to these proceedings as described, in particular, in paragraphs 16 to 20 of this judgment, that the Council had no intention whatsoever of derogating from the principle of relative stability in this case because it allocated percentages of the Community stock of bluefin tuna referred to in Article 2(1) of Regulation No 49/1999 on the basis of the same method of apportionment as that which had been used by ICCAT.
Faktiske omstændigheder
77; < ? third plea
Ved skrivelse af 12. juni og 20. august 1996 pålagde delstaten Bayern NMH at tilbageholde lånene.
In the further alternative, the Italian Republic alleges that the criteria adopted for implementation of the principle of relative stability were manifestly inappropriate.
Da NMH ikke efterkom dette pålæg, anlagde delstaten Bayern i februar 1997 sag ved Amtsgericht Regensburg (Tyskland) med påstand om, at selskabet betalte en del af beløbet, nemlig 14,8 mio. DEM.
Second, as already pointed out, the Italian Republic was closely associated with preparations for the 11th extraordinary meeting of ICCAT and with the discussions which led to the adoption of Regulation No 49/1999.
Efter at NMH havde rejst indsigelse, blev sagen overført til Landgericht Amberg (Tyskland). Denne besluttede ved kendelse af 5. marts 1998 at udsætte sagen i henhold til § 148 i den tyske Zivilprozessordnung, hvorefter en sag skal udsættes, når sagens afgørelse afhænger af, om der består et retsforhold, som er genstand for en anden tvist, der stadig verserer ved en anden ret.
In those circumstances, the Italian Republic could not be unaware of the reasons underlying the allocation to the Member States of the Community quota for bluefin tuna for 1999.
Samme dag meddelte Forbundsrepublikken endvidere Kommissionen, at NMH havde indgivet konkursbegæring den 6. november 1998.
The pleas put forward in the alternative
I forbindelse med saneringen af selskabet Eisenwerk-Gesellschaft Maximilianshütte mbH, erhvervede delstaten Bayern aktier i selskabet Neue Maxhütte Stahlwerke GmbH (herefter »NMH«), der overtog det førstnævnte selskab, og ydede det bl.a. aktionærlån i 1994 og 1995 på 49,895 mio. DEM og 24,1125 mio. DEM.
It must obsened, first, that neither in Community legislation nor in the case-law of the Court has it ever been established that application of the principle of relative stability to a stock of fish for which no TAC or quota has previously been fixed requires, whatever the circumstances, that the catch quotas should be based on a given number of years' fishing rather than on one year only.
Ved to beslutninger 96/178/EKSF af 18. oktober 1995 og 96/484/EKSF af 13. marts 1996 om statsstøtte ydet af delstaten Bayern til EKSF-stålvirksomheden Neue Maxhütte Stahlwerke GmbH, Sulzbach-Rosenberg, fastslog Kommissionen, at disse aktionærlån var uforenelige med fællesmarkedet og pålagde Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland at kræve dem tilbage.
Flexibility regarding the reference period to be used is particularlyimportant where the stock in question is managed under the auspices of an international fisheries organisation and the percentages allocated within the Community are normallybased on decisions taken within the framework of that organisation.
Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland og nævnte selskab anlagde sag til prøvelse af disse beslutninger henholdsvis ved Domstolen og Retten.
In this case, the applicant has certainly not shown that the Council acted in a manifestly inappropriate way in the exercise of its discretion.
Kommissionen har oplyst, at den iværksatte en traktatbrudsprocedure i henhold til artikel 88 KS mod Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland den 16. december 1998 under henvisning til, at denne havde tilsidesat EKSF-traktatens artikel 86 ved
By the first two parts of its second plea in the alternative, which it is appropriate to consider first, the Italian Republic alleges, in essence, that the Community's negotiations within ICCAT, referred to in the third paragraph of Article 1 of Regulation No 65/98, could not have been concerned with reductions for overfishing carried out by certain Member States in 1997 and that, in any event, those Member States should have been given an opportunity to defend their interests in those negotiations.
Da sagsanlægget ikke havde opsættende virkning, indgav Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland begæring om, at Domstolen udsatte gennemførelsen af beslutning 96/178 vedrørende lånet på 49,895
The pleas put forward by the Italian Republic in support of its claim for the annulment of
ikke at have gennemført beslutningerne om tilbagesøgning af de til NMH udbetalte beløb. Bortset fra en pressemeddelelse af samme dato er der ikke fremlagt noget skriftligt dokument til godtgørelse af, at Kommissionen har indledt en sådan traktatbrudsprocedure.
As to that it must be borne in mind, first that, byacceding to the Convention, as amended by the Protocol signed in Paris on 10 July 1984. the Community was, under Article XIV(6) of that Convention, subrogated to the rights and obligations of the Member States which were already parties to it.
Forbundsrepublikken Tysklands tredje anbringende er, at den anfægtede beslutning er baseret på en fejlagtig anvendelse af artikel 88 KS, da der under alle omstændigheder ikke forelå nogen misligholdelse på det tidspunkt, da Kommissionen vedtog en »begrundet beslutning« i den forstand, hvori dette udtryk anvendes i artikel 88, stk. 1. Dette anbringende skal undersøges først.
The Community was therefore fully empowered to discuss, in the context of negotiations within ICCAT relating to the Community quota for which it alone was competent, all relevant parameters, including the consequences of overfishing on the part of certain Member States before the date of their accession to that organisation.
II, s. 17) frifandt Retten Kommissionen i de nævnte sager, navnlig for påstanden om annullation af de to beslutninger, som er nævnt ovenfor i præmis 3, og hvorved Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland blev pålagt at kræve de beløb tilbage fra NMH, som var ydet selskabet som aktionærlån.
The Community was therefore bound by the earlier ICCAT recommendations and. in particular, by Recommendation No 96-14 which imposes the principle that fishing quotas will be reduced if, during a given management period, a contracting party exceeded its catch limits.
Ved kendelse af 25. januar 2001 i sag C-lll/99 P, Lech-Stahlwerke mod Kommissionen, forkastede Domstolen den af Lech-Stahlwerke GmbH mod denne dom iværksatte appel.
The reductions for overfishing in 1997 were in fact imposed on the Community, by way of deduction from the quota available to it for 1999.
Det skal for det første bemærkes, at det fremgår af selve ordlyden af artikel 88, stk. 1, KS, at Kommissionen ikke kan fastslå, at en medlemsstat har tilsidesat en forpligtelse efter EKSF-traktaten, uden først at have givet den pågældende medlemsstat mulighed for at fremsætte sine bemærkninger, og at Kommissionen skal give medlemsstaten en frist til opfyldelse af dens forpligtelse.
By the third part of this plea, the Italian Republic claims that, for allocation of the Community quota for bluefin tuna for 1999, the Council is not entitled to take account of catches by Italy in excess of the limits during 1977.
Ved skrivelse af 1. februar 1999 meddelte Kommissionen i henhold til artikel 88, stk. 1, KS den tyske regering sin argumentation vedrørende det hævdede traktatbrud, idet den pålagde regeringen af fremsætte sine bemærkninger inden en måned.
It was entirely proper, and did not exceed the bounds of its discretion, for the Council, faced with the need to apply to the Member States concerned the reductions which related to overfishing by those Member States in 1997 but were imputed directly to the Community by ICCAT, to make the Italian Republic bear the consequences of its overfishing in 1997, those consequences having nevertheless been mitigated by a Community solidarity mechanism.
Kommissionen har nedlagt påstand om frifindelse.
Infringement of non-discrimination
Formålet med denne procedure er altså at udvirke, at den stat, som tilsidesætter traktaten, ændrer sin adfærd og ikke in abstracto at fastslå et i fortiden begået traktatbrud (jf., for så vidt angår traktatbrudsproceduren i henhold til artikel 226 EF, dom af 31.3.1992, sag C-362/90, Kommissionen mod Italien, præmis 9-13).
As regards the first plea in the alternative, alleging infringement of the principle of non-discrimination, it must be observed that the Italian Republic has adduced no proof of such an infringement.
Følgelig er den anfægtede beslutning, som ikke er vedtaget under skyldig hensyntagen til formålet i artikel 88 KS, retsstridig.
Orders the Italian Republic to pay the costs;
For det første blev proceduren - da Kommissionen ikke har fremlagt noget dokument med datoen 16. december 1998 til godtgørelse af, at der var indledt en procedure, og da en pressemeddelelse ikke udgør nogen formel retsakt rettet til en medlemsstat - først iværksat ved fremsendelsen af Kommissionens åbningsskrivelse til Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland den 1. februar 1999.
He suggested that the Court dismiss the action for annulment brought by the Italian Republic against Article 2 and the table in the Annex relating to bluefin tuna of Council Regulation (EC) No 491999 of 18 December 1998 fixing, for certain stocks of highly migratory fish, the total allowable catches for 1999, their distribution in quotas to Member States and certain conditions under which they may be fished, and order the applicant State to pay the costs.

By application lodged at the Court Registry on 23 July 1999 the Federal Republic of Germany applied, under the second paragraph of Article 88 CS, for the annulment of Commission Decision 1999/597/ECSC of 21 April 1999 in proceedings under Article 88 of the ECSC Treatyconcerning State aid granted by the Federal Republic of Germany to Neue Maxhütte Stahlwerke GmbH.
Generaladvokat J. Mischo fremsatte forslag til afgørelse i retsmødet (Femte Afdelingl den 14. juni 2001.
In the course of restructuring Eisenwerk-Gesellschaft Maximilianshütte mbH, the Land of Bavaria took shares in Neue Maxhütte Stahlwerke GmbH ('NMH'), which was the successor in title to the first company, and granted it, inter alia, shareholder loans in the sum of DEM 49.895 million and DEM 24.1125 million during 1994 and 1995.

On 31 December 1998 proceedings were initiated for the winding up of NHM and the liquidation of its assets. On 18 January 1999. the Land of Bavaria applied to register all of the loans granted to NMH in the list of creditors' claims in those proceedings.
