T. Port GmbH & Co. KG betaler sagens omkostninger.« Generaladvokat P. Léger fremsatte forslag til afgørelse i retsmødet (Sjette Afdeling) den 24. oktober 2002.
By application lodged at the Registry of the Court of Justice on 19 March 2001, T. Port GmbH & Co. KG (T. Port') brought an appeal pursuant to Article 49 of the EC Statute of the Court of Justice against the judgment of the Court of First Instance of 1 February 2001 in Case T-l/99 T. Port ν Commission [2001], seeking to have that judgment set aside in part. The appeal

T. Port claims that the Court of Justice should:
Præjudiciel »Associeringsaftalen EØF-Tyrkiet arbejdskraftens frie bevægelighed artikel 10, stk. /, i associeringsrådets afgørelse nr. 1/80 forbud mod forskelsbehandling for så vidt angår arbejdsvilkår direkte virkning - rækkevidde — en medlemsstats retsforskrifter, hvorefter tyrkiske arbejdstagere ikke er valgbare til Arbeitskammer« (Sjette Afdeling)
In its first two grounds, which it is appropriate to consider together, T. Port maintains, first, that in paragraphs 63 to 65 of the contested judgment the Court of First Instance refused to recognise that the damage sustained could simply be equal to the costs incurred in purchasing export licences and required T. Port to prove that it had not passed on those costs in its sale prices and, second, that in paragraph 66 of the contested judgment the Court of First Instance misapplied the principle compensatio lucri cum damno by applying it to a situation in which the advantages created — in the circumstances of this case, the increase in tariff quota and the reduction in customs duties — are not a consequence of the breach of law which occasioned the loss — in this case, the costs involved in the mandatory purchase of the export licences
Ved kendelse af 2. marts 2001 har Verfassungsgerichtshof forelagt to præjudicielle spørgsmål vedrørende fortolkningen af artikel 10, stk. 1, i associeringsrådets afgørelse nr. 1/80 af 19. september 1980 om udvikling af associeringen. Associeringsrådet blev oprettet ved aftalen om oprettelse af en associering mellem Det Europæiske Økonomiske Fællesskab og Tyrkiet, som blev undertegnet den 12. september 1963.
In this connection it is sufficient to note that paragraph 63 of the contested judgment makes it clear that the reasoning concerning the definition of loss challenged in the first two grounds of appeal was given for the sake of completeness in relation to the reasoning set out in paragraphs 59 to 62 of the contested judgment, in which the Court of First Instance rejected as insufficient the evidence produced by T. Port with a view to proving the loss it claimed to have sustained.
Disse spørgsmål er blevet rejst inden for rammerne af en sag, som vælgergruppen »Gemeinsam Zajedno/Birlikte Alternative und Grüne Gewerkschafterlnnen/UG« (herefter »Wählergruppe Gemeinsam«) har anlagt ved Verfassungsgerichtshof med pastand om annullation af valget til plenarforsamlingen i Arbeiterkammer für Vorarlberg (Østrig), der blev afholdt mellem den 6. og den 23. april 1999.
It is settled case-law that the Court of Justice will reject outright complaints directed against grounds of a judgment of the Court of First Instance included purely for the sake of completeness since they cannot lead to the judgment's being set aside.
Det fremgår af sagsakterne i hovedsagen, at bl.a. Wählergruppe Gemeinsam havde indgivet en kandidatliste ved valget til plenarforsamlingen i Arbeiterkammer für Vorarlberg, der blev afholdt i april 1999.
The inevitable conclusion must be that, contrary to T. Port's claims, the Court of First Instance did in fact state its reasons for finding that the auditor's certified statement produced by T. Port was not sufficient to establish the existence of the alleged damage.
43 delegerede 11 delegerede 9 delegerede 2 delegerede 0 delegerede 5 delegerede.
It argues that the payment of import duty, also certified by the auditor, the amounts of which are set out in paragraph 61 of the contested judgment, proves that it did actually use the licences and make the imports in question.
Det er ligeledes ubestridt, at disse fem tyrkiske kandidater opfyldte alle de valgbarhedsbetingelser, der er fastsat i national lovgivning, bortset fra betingelsen om, at de skulle være østrigske statsborgere.
By its fifth ground of appeal T. Port claims that in paragraphs 76 to 80 of the contested judgment wrongfully refused to recognise that the mere fact that it had imported bananas from Costa Rica under the Framework Agreement was sufficient to establish a direct causal link between the Commission's allegedly unlawful conduct and the loss allegedly sustained.
Den direkte virkning af artikel 10, stk. 1, i afgørelse nr. 1/80
Advocate General P. Léger delivered his Opinion at the sitting of the Sixth Chamber on 24 October 2002.
Domstolen har i disse domme udtalt, at fællesskabsretten er til hinder for anvendelsen af en national lovgivning, hvorefter statsborgerne i de øvrige medlemsstater, som er beskæftiget i værtsmedlemsstaten, hverken har stemmeret eller er valgbare, når der vælges medlemmer til organisationer af denne art.
Preliminary ruling (EEC-Turkey Association — Freedom of movement for workers —Article 10(1) of Decision No 1/80 of the Association Council -Prohibition of discrimination as regards conditions of work—Direct effect — Scope — Legislation of a Member State excluding Turkish workers from eligibility for election to a chamber of workers) (Sixth Chamber)
Som udtalt i ovenstående præmisser pålægger artikel 10, stk. 1, i afgørelse nr. 1/80 hver medlemsstat forpligtelser med hensyn til arbejdsvilkårene for tyrkiske arbejdstagere med tilknytning til statens lovlige arbejdsmarked, der kan sidestilles med dem, der finder anvendelse på statsborgere fra de øvrige medlemsstater.
By order of 2 March 2001 the Verfassungsgerichtshof referred to the Court for a preliminary ruling two questions on the interpretation of Article 10(1) of Decision No 1/80 of the Association Council of 19 September 1980 on the development of the Association ('Decision No 1/80'). The Association Council was set up by the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and Turkey, signed at Ankara on 12 September 1963.
Henset til de principper om fri bevægelighed, der gælder for arbejdstagere, der er statsborgere i en medlemsstat, og som finder analog anvendelse på tyrkiske arbejdstagere, der udleder deres ret af afgørelse nr. 1/80, må nationale retsforskrifter, hvorefter retten til at være valgbar til et organ, der varetager og forsvarer arbejdstagernes rettigheder som Arbeitskammern i Østrig, er betinget af, at de pågældende arbejdstagere er statsborgere i værtsmedlemsstaten, følgelig anses for at være uforenelige med nævnte afgørelses artikel 10, stk. 1.
Those questions were raised in proceedings brought before the Verfassungsgerichtshof by the voters' group Wählergruppe 'Gemeinsam Zajedno/Birlikte Alternative und Grüne Gewerkschafterlnnen/UG' ('Wählergruppe Gemeinsam') for annulment of the elections to the general assembly of the chamber of workers of the Land of Vorarlberg (Austria) which took place between 6 and 23 April 1999.
»Artikel 10, stk 1, i afgørelse nr. 1/80 om udvikling af associeringen, som det associeringsråd, der er oprettet ved aftalen om oprettelse af en associering mellem Det Europæiske Økonomiske Fællesskab og Tyrkiet, traf den 19. september 1980, skal fortolkes således:
It is clear from the documents concerning the case in the main proceedings that, among others, Wählergruppe Gemeinsam put forward a list of candidates for the elections to the general assembly of the chamber of workers for the Land of Vorarlberg which took place in April 1999.
Den er til hinder for anvendelsen af nationale retsforskrifter, hvorved tyrkiske arbejdstagere, der er tilknyttet det lovlige arbejdsmarked i værtsmedlemsstaten, afskæres fra at opnå valg til plenarforsamlingen i en organisation, der varelager og forsvarer arbejdstagernes interesser såsom Arbeiierkammem i Østrig.«
The results of those elections were as follows: ÖAAB: FSG: Freiheitliche und parteifreie Arbeitnehmer: Wählergruppe Gemeinsam: Gewerkschaftlicher Linksblock: NBZ:
Generaladvokat F. G. Jacobs fremsatte forslag til afgørelse i retsmødet (Sjette Afdeling) den 12. december 2002.
The list of candidates lodged by Wählergruppe Gemeinsam originally comprised 26 candidates, including five Turkish nationals who, the parties agree, fulfilled all the conditions laid down in the third indent of Article 6(1) of Decision No 1/80 and were in possession of a 'Befreiungsschein' (a certificate exempting the holder from the national provisions on the employment of foreigners) in accordance with Paragraph 4c of the Ausländerbeschäftigungsgesetz (Law on employment of foreigners).
Præjudiciel »Frie varebevægelser alarmsystemer og -centraler — fortolkning af artikel 28 EF og 30 EF -fortolkning af direktiv 731231EØF, 891336/EØF og 1999/51EF -forenelighed af national lovgivning, der betinger markedsføring af en forudgående godkendelsesprocedure« (Sjette Afdeling)
1991/626, 'the AKG'), alleging an infringement of the election procedure which significantly influenced the result of the election. By excluding from its list the five Turkish nationals, the principal election committee infringed a specific right directly applicable in the European Union, namely the prohibition of discrimination laid down in Article 10(1) of Decision No 1/80.
ATRAL, som er et fransk selskab, fremstiller og forhandler alarmsystemer og -centraler, der anvender radioforbindelser, i almindelighed benævnt »trådløse alarmsystemer«.
Considering that the solution to the dispute required an interpretation of Community law, the Verfassungsgerichtshof decided to stay proceedings and refer the following questions to the Court for a preliminary ruling.
Indtil anordningen af 23. april 1999 trådte i kraft, var salget af ATRAL*s produkter ikke reguleret, da den dagældende lovgivning alene fandt anvendelse på »tråd«-alarmsystemer og -centraler. Siden ikrafttrædelsen af anordningen af 23. april 1999 har ATRAL ikke længere kunnet forhandle sine produkter uden forinden at opnå en forudgående godkendelse heraf fra materielkommissionen.
In order to provide a helpful answer to the question whether a provision in an agreement concluded between the Community and a non-member country which lays down a prohibition on discrimination on the grounds of nationality precludes a Member State from refusing, within the scope of the agreement, to grant a national of the non-member country a benefit on the sole ground that that person is a national of the non-member country, it is necessary to consider, first, whether the provision in question is, by its nature, such as to confer directly on an individual rights which he may assert before a court of a Member State and, if so, to determine, second, the scope of the prohibition of discrimination laid down by that provision.
Ved stævning indleveret til Conseil d'État den 16. august 1999 nedlagde ATRAL pastand om annullation af anordningen af 23. april 1999.
The direct effect of Article 10(1) of Decision No 1/80
Det første spørgsmål
The scope of Article 10(1) of Decision No 1/80
Det fremgår af ordlyden af og formålet med disse direktiver, at de alle tilsigter en fuldstændig harmonisering inden for deres respektive anvendelsesområder. Det følger heraf, at inden for de omrader, der henhører under disse direktiver, skal medlemsstaterne fuldt ud overholde disse og må ikke opretholde modstridende nationale bestemmelser.
When determining the scope of the prohibition of discrimination as regards conditions of work laid down by Article 10(1) of Decision 1/80, reference should be made to the interpretation given to that principle in the field of freedom of movement for workers who are nationals of a Member State of the Community.
Det andet spørgsmål
Such an approach is all the more justified because that article is formulated in terms almost identical to those of Article 48(2) of the Treaty.
Med det andet spørgsmål, litra a) og b), ønsker den nationale ret nærmere bestemt oplyst, om direktiv 73/23,89/336 og 1999/5 er til hinder for nationale bestemmelser såsom dem, som omhandles i hovedsagen der betinger markedsføringen af alarmsystemer og -centraler, der opfylder bestemmelserne i de pågældende direktiver, og som er forsynet med den rigtige »CE«-mærkning, af en fremgangsmåde med forudgående godkendelse.
In the context of Community law and, in particular, Article 48(2) of the Treaty, the Court has consistently held that national legislation which denies workers who are nationals of other Member States the right to vote and/or the right to stand as a candidate in elections held by bodies such as occupational guilds to which those workers are compulsorily affiliated, to which they must pay contributions, which are responsible for defending and representing workers' interests and which perform a consultative function in the legislative field is contrary to the fundamental principle of non-discrimination on the grounds of nationality.
Det følger heraf, at direktiv 73/23, 89/336, og 1999/5 er til hinder for nationale bestemmelser, såsom de i hovedsagen omhandlede, som inden for de af direktiverne harmoniserede områder underkaster apparater forsynet med »CE«-mærkning en forudgående godkendelsesprocedure.
In those two judgments, the Court concluded that Community law precludes the application of national legislation which denies nationals of other Member States who are employed in the host Member State the right to vote and to stand as candidates in elections of the members of such bodies.
Medlemsstaterne, som er adressater for direktiver, mens et direktivs gennemførelsesfrist løber, skal afholde sig fra at træffe foranstaltninger, der kan bringe virkeliggørelsen af det i direktivet foreskrevne resultat i fare.
As was pointed out in the paragraphs above, Article 10(1) of Decision No 1/80 imposes on each Member State, as regards the conditions of work for Turkish workers duly registered as belonging to its labour force, obligations analogous to those applying to nationals of other Member States.
Heraf følger, at eftersom anordningen af 23. april 1999 kan bringe virkeliggørelsen af det resultat, der er foreskrevet i direktiv 1999/5, i fare, og at den er vedtaget, mens direktivets gennemførelsesfrist løber, må det konstateres, at den belgiske stat i henhold til fællesskabsretten ikke måtte vedtage anordningen.
Consequently, in the light of the principles laid down in connection with the freedom of movement for workers who are nationals of a Member State and applicable by analogy to Turkish workers enjoying the rights conferred by Decision No 1/80, national legislation which makes eligibility for election to a body representing and defending the interests of workers, such as the chambers of workers in Austria, subject to possession of the nationality of the host Member State must be considered to be incompatible with Article 10(1) of that decision.
Med hensyn til markedsføring i en medlemsstat af produkter, som er lovligt fremstillet og markedsført i en anden medlemsstat, svarer når der ikke foreligger fællesskabsretlig harmonisering en national bestemmelse, hvorefter de importerede produkter skal underkastes de samme kontroller som produkter, der markedsføres for første gang og forhåndsgodkendes, til en foranstaltning med tilsvarende virkning som en kvantitativ indførselsrestriktion i den i artikel 28 EF omhandlede forstand.
'Article 10(1) of Decision No 1/80 of 19 September 1980 on the development of the Association, adopted by the Association Council established by the Association Agreement between the European Economic Community and Turkey, must be interpreted as:
En sådan forpligtelse er derfor i strid med artikel 28 EF.
— having direct effect in the Member States, and
En national bestemmelse, som er i strid med artikel 28 EF kan kun være begrundet i et af de almene hensyn, som er opregnet i artikel 30 EF, eller i et af de uomgængeligt nødvendige hensyn fastslået i Domstolens praksis.
— precluding the application of national legislation which excludes Turkish workers duly registered as belonging to the labour force of the host Member State from eligibility f or election to the general assembly of a body representing and defending the interests of workers, such as the chambers of workers in Austria.'
1 begge tilfælde skal den nationale bestemmelse være egnet til at sikre virkeliggørelsen af det formal, den forfølger, og må ikke gå ud over, hvad der er nødvendigt, for at formålet opfyldes.
Advocate General F. G. Jacobs delivered his Opinion at the sitting of the Sixth Chamber on 12 December 2002.
Det andet spørgsmål, litra d), vedrører bevisbyrden ved en sådan begrundelse.
He proposed that the Court should answer as follows:
Ifølge Domstolens faste praksis kan en undtagelse fra princippet om de frie varebevægelser kun være begrundet ifølge artikel 30 EF, såfremt de nationale myndigheder godtgør, at denne undtagelse er nødvendig for at tilgodese et eller flere af de i nævnte artikel anførte hensyn, og at den er i overensstemmelse med proportionalitetsprincippet. En sådan påvisning kan kun foretages konkret i forhold til den foreliggende sags faktiske omstændigheder.
'(1) Article 10(1) of Decision No 1/80 of the Association Council set up by the EEC-Turkey Agreement is to be interpreted as precluding a national rule excluding Turkish workers duly registered as belonging to the labour force of a Member State from the right to be elected to the general assembly of a body such as a chamber of workers in Austria, provided that such a general assembly does not itself participate in the exercise of powers conferred by public law.
Det hedder i domskonklusionen:
(2) Article 10(1) of Decision No 1/80 has direct effect.'
af medlemsstatemes lovgivning om elektromagnetisk kompatibilitet, som ændret ved direktiv 93/68, samt Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv 1999/5/EF af 9. marts 1999 om radioog teleterminaludstyr samt gensidig anerkendelse af udstyrets overensstemmelse, finder anvendelse på alarmsystemer og-centraler, og særligt sådanne, der anvender radioforbindelser.
By judgment of 8 January 2002 the Conseil d'État (Council of State) referred to the Court for a preliminary ruling three questions on the interpretation of Articles 28 and 30 EC, Council Directive 73/23/EEC of 19 February 1973, Council Directive 89/336/EEC of 3 May 1989, and Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999.
Inden for de områder, som er omfattet af disse direktiver, skal nationale bestemmelser vedrørende samme område nødvendigvis overholde direktiverne.
The dispute in the main proceedings and the questions referred for a preliminary ruling
2)Artikel 3 i direktiv 73/23, som ændret, artikel 5 i direktiv 89/336, som ændret, samt artikel 6 og 8 i direktiv 1999/5 er til hinder for nationale bestemmelser såsom dem, som omhandles i hovedsagen der betinger markedsføringen i en medlemsstat af alarmsystemer, der opfylder bestemmelserne i ovennævnte direktiver, og som er forsynet med den rigtige »CE«-mærkning af en fremgangsmåde med forudgående godkendelse.
ATRAL, a company incorporated under French law, manufactures and markets alarm systems and networks using radio transmission (commonly referred to as *wireless' alarm systems). Since 1996 it has been marketing alarm systems and networks in Belgium, mainly through large-scale retailers.
3)Artikel 28 EF og 30 EF skal fortolkes således, at produkter, der er lovligt fremstillet og markedsført i en medlemsstat, selv i mangel af fællesskabsretlig harmonisering, skal kunne markedsføres i en anden medlemsstat uden at blive underkastet supplerende kontroller.
Until the entry into force of the 1999 decree, the sale of ATRAL products was not subject to regulation, since the legislation then in force applied only to "wired-link' alarm systems and networks.
Nationale forskrifter, der fastsætler sådanne kontroller, skal, for at være begrundet, være omfattet af en af undtagelserne fastsat i artikel 30 EF eller et af de uomgængeligt nødvendige hensyn, der er i anerkendt Domstolens praksis og i begge tilfælde være egnede til at sikre virkeliggørelsen af det formål, de forfølger, og må ikke gå ud over, hvad der er nødvendigt, for at formålet opfyldes.
Since the entry into force of the 1999 decree, ATRAL has been unable to market its products without previously obtaining approval therefor by the equipment committee.
4)Det påhviler den medlemsstat, som påberåber sig et hensyn, der berettiger en begrænsning af de frie varebevægelser, konkret at påvise, at der foreligger et alment hensyn, at den pågældende begrænsning er nødvendig samt at den står i rimeligt forhold til det tilsigtede mål.«
ATRAL argued before the Conseil d'État that the 1999 decree infringes Article 28 EC. It claimed that the decree regulates in all essential respects the matters which are the subject of Community harmonisation measures under Directives 73/23, 89/336 and 1999/5 and concluded that the Belgian State was not entitled to impose preventive control of the conformity of alarm systems and networks to the essential requirements laid down by those directives when those directives only authorise subsequent controls, conformity with the aforementioned requirements being attested by the 'CE' marking.
Generaladvokat L. A. Geelhoed fremsatte forslag til afgørelse i retsmødet (Sjette Afdeling) den 12. december 2002.
Finding that the parties were in dispute as to the application of Directives 73/23 and 89/336 and taking the view that Directive 1999/5 could not be disregarded, the Conseil d'État decided to stay proceedings and referred a number of questions to the Court for a preliminary ruling.
Forenede sager T-324/01 og Τ-110/02 Axions SA, Christian Belce / Kontoret for Harmonisering i det Indre Marked (Varemærker og Design) (KHIM) Intellektuel ejendomsret
It follows that, in the fields covered by those directives, the Member States must conform to them in their entirety and cannot maintain national provisions to the contrary.
Den 20. marts 2000 og den 3. december 1999 indgav sagsøgerne to EF-varemærkeansøgninger. der blev indført i registret på Kontoret for Harmonisering i det Indre Marked (Varemærker og Design) (KHIM) under henholdsvis nr. 1 565 589 og 1 408 889, i medfør af Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 40/94 af 20. december 1993.
Article 3 of Directive 73/23, Article 5 of Directive 89/336 and Articles 6 and 8 of Directive 1999/5 ensure the free movement of apparatus which satisfy the provisions of those directives.
Varemærkerne, som der er ansøgt om registrering af, er henholdsvis en tredimensional form som en brun cigar (varemærkeansøgning nr. 1 565 589) og en tredimensional form som en guldbarre (varemærkeansøgning nr. 1 408 889).
It follows that Directives 73/23, 89/336 and 1999/5 preclude national provisions, such as those at issue in the main proceedings, which, in matters harmonised by those directives, make apparatus bearing the 'CE' marking subject to a prior approval procedure.
Den grafiske gengivelse af disse tredimensionale varemærker er gengivet i et bilag til varemærkeansøgningerne som nedenfor:
The 1999 decree also provides for controls in matters not harmonised by directives 73/23, 89/336 and 1999/5, in particular functionality testing, climatic tests and efficiency testing.
Varemærkeansøgning nr. 1 565 589
Question 2(d) concerns the burden of proof in relation to such justification.
De varer, som registreringsansøgningen vedrører, henhører under klasse 30 (varemærkeansøgning nr. 1 565 589) og klasse 16 og 30 (varemærkeansøgning nr. 1 408 889) i Nice-arrangementet.
It is for the Member State which claims to have a reason justifying a restriction on the free movement of goods to demonstrate specifically the existence of a reason relating to the public interest, the necessityfor the restriction in question and that the restriction is proportionate in relation to the objective pursued.'
