Generaladvokat A Tizzano fremsatte forslag til afgørelse i retsmødet (Fjerde Afdeling"! den 14. juni 2001.
Foremost amongst the steps referred to in the second sentence of the first paragraph of Article 34 CS, in the case of a judgment annulling or reducing the fine imposed on an undertaking for infringement of the Treaty competition rules, is the Commission's obligation to repay all or part of the fine paid by the undertaking in question, in so far as that payment must be described as a sum unduly paid following the annulment decision.

amount of the fine overpaid, but also to default interest on that amount.
»Erstatningssøgsmål — tilbagesøgning af fejlagtigt udbetalt beløb — tab som følge af en delvis annulleret beslutning« (Første Afdeling)
In the present case, however, it appears from the Commission's explanations (see paragraph 32 above) that the sum of EUR 12 million invested at an average interest rate of 4.613 % during the period in question yielded a total return for the ECSC of EUR 3 016 608, taking into account quarterly compounding of interest.
Faktiske omstændigheder i sagen italienske marked i en periode på tre måneder, og fastsatte den bøde, der var pålagt sagsøgeren ved beslutningens artikel 4, til 20 mio. EUR.
First, the payment of default interest on the amount overpaid would seem to be an essential component of the Commission's obligation to restore the applicant to his original position following a judgment of annulment, or a judgment exercising the Court's unlimited jurisdiction, since complete reimbursement of a fine unduly paid cannot leave out of account factors, such as the effluxion of time, which may in fact reduce its value.
Den 23. april 1999 tilbagebetalte Kommissionen sagsøgeren 12 mio. EUR svarende til forskellen mellem den bøde, som var betalt den 2. juni 1994, og den bøde, som var fastsat af Retten.
It appears fair in the circumstances of this case to award this sum to the applicant.
Den 16. februar 1994 vedtog Kommissionen beslutning 94/215/EKSF om en procedure i henhold til EKSF-traktatens artikel 65 vedrørende aftaler og forskellige former for samordnet praksis mellem europæiske producenter af stålbjælker, hvorved den bl.a. fastslog, at sagsøgeren havde deltaget i en række overtrædelser på Fællesskabets marked for stålbjælker og pålagde sagsøgeren en bøde på 32 mio. ECU.
Since this amount should have been paid to the applicant within a reasonable period following the steelbeams judgment, it is further right, in accordance with the forms of order sought in the application, to add to this amount simple interest on those arrears at the fixed rate of 5.75% per annum, corresponding to the interest rate applicable to capital refinancing operations set, at the time, by the Council of Governors of the European Central Bank, increased by two points for the period from 24 April 1999 to the date of the present judgment.
Ved skrivelse af 23. april 1999 anmodede sagsøgeren Kommissionen om at betale selskabet renter af dette beløb for perioden mellem den 2. juni 1994 og den 23. april 1999.
Second, a failure to reimburse interest could result, as is particularly the case in the present instance (see paragraph 32 above), in the unjust enrichment of the Community, which would be contrary to the general principles of Community law (Case C-259/87 Greece ν Commission, summan publication, paragraph 26).
Ved stævning registreret på Rettens Justitskontor den 13. april 1994 har sagsøgeren anlagt et annullationssøgsmål vedrørende denne beslutning.
Finally, in accordance with the applicant's claim, which has not been challenged by the Commission, it is further appropriate that these two amounts should bear interest from the date of the present judgment until full and final payment.
Ved skrivelse af 16. juni 1999 afslog Kommissionen denne anmodning under henvisning til, at den med tilbagebetalingen af hovedstolen på 12 mio. EUR havde opfyldt sine forpligtelser i henhold til artikel 34 KS.
In not paying any interest to the applicant on the sum of EUR 12 million repaid in accordance with the steelbeams judgment, the Commission failed to take a step necessary to comply with that judgment.
Den 2. juni 1994 betalte sagsøgeren hele den bøde, der var pålagt selskabet.
The claim under Article 34 CS, which was brought after a reasonable time had passed, is accordingly well founded in principle, and it is necessary to award compensation to the applicant corresponding to the amount of
Ved dom af 11. marts 1999 i sagen British Steel mod Kommissionen (sag T-151/94, summarisk offentliggørelse, herefter »stålbjælkedommen«) annullerede Retten artikel 1 i beslutning 94/215, for så vidt som sagsøgeren heri beskyldes for at have deltaget i en aftale om opdeling af det

Kommissionen tilpligtes at betale sagsøgeren renter af beløbet til en rentesats, som Retten efter omstændighederne finder passende, fra den 24. april 1999 indtil Retten afsiger endelig dom i sagen.
(Decision 94/90/ECSC, EC, Euratom — Public access to Commission documents — Minutes of the Committee on Excise Duties — Partial access — Exception — Identities of national delegations — Protection of an institution's interest in the confidentiality of its proceedings) (First Chamber)
Kommissionen tilpligtes at betale sagsøgeren renter på 8% p.a. af de i punkt a) og b) nævnte beløb fra datoen for afsigelsen af den endelige dom, indtil betaling sker.
On 6 December 1993 the Commission and the Council approved a common code of conduct concerning public access to Council and Commission documents.
Indledningsvis bemærkes, at der under denne sag principalt er nedlagt påstand om at tilpligte Kommissionen at betale erstatning, subsidiært at Retten foretager visse konstateringer og giver visse pålæg.
In order to implement the code of conduct, the Commission adopted, on 8 February 1994, Decision 94/90/ECSC, EC, Euratom on public access to Commission documents.
Retten skal derfor gennemgå den principale og subsidiære påstand såvel på grundlag af artikel 40 KS som artikel 34 KS.
Article 1 of Decision 94/90 formally adopts the code of conduct, the text of which is annexed to the decision.
Det fastslås, at beslutning 94/215 er behæftet med mangler, der begrunder ansvar for Fællesskabet.
'The public will have the widest possible access to documents held by the Commission and the Council.'
Det fastslås, at sagsøgeren som følge af de af Kommissionen begåede fejl har lidt en direkte og særlig skade ved uretmæssigt at have været afskåret fra at råde over et beløb på 12 000 000 EUR fra den 2. juni 1994.
In 1998 the applicant became aware, through the intervention of the United Kingdom authorities, of extracts of the minutes of a meeting held by the Committee on Excise Duties on 7 and 8 October 1997.
Denne opfattelse kan ikke tiltrædes. Da det af sagsøgeren påberåbte tab beror på, at denne blev berøvet muligheden for at råde over et beløb på 12 mio. EUR fra den 2. juni 1994 til den 23 april 1999, skyldes tabet udelukkende vedtagelsen og gennemførelsen af beslutning 94/215.
It was apparent from those extracts that, at the instigation of one of the Member States, a majority of delegations had expressed their wish that expanded tobacco be treated in the same way as 'smoking tobacco', as defined in Article 5(1) of Council Directive 95/59/EC of 27 November 1995 on taxes other than turnover taxes which affect the consumption of manufactured tobacco, and thus as a product subject to excise duty for the purposes of Directive 92/12.
Hvad angår Kommissionens nægtelse af at erstatte dette tab, er denne nægtelse ifølge sagsøgeren ulovlig og udgør en tilsidesættelse af Kommissionens forpligtelser som følge af stålbjælkedommen.
Subsequently, the applicant was informed by the same authorities that an opinion to that effect had been adopted by the Committee on Excise Duties, that the delegation of the Italian Republic had expressed reservations and that Italy's tax authorities were encountering difficulties in applying the decision.
Sagen sendes tilbage til Kommissionen med pålæg om, at den træffer passende foranstaltninger til at sikre en rimelig genoprettelse af det tab, der direkte skyldes Kommissionens adfærd, og at betale den nødvendige erstatning.
The applicant therefore asked the Commission for the tax treatment of expanded tobacco to be reconsidered by the committee and that the decision be reversed.
Det må antages, at de ulovligheder, som den omhandlede beslutning er behæftet med, ikke er tilstrækkeligt alvorlige, til at den er behæftet med en mangel, der begrunder ansvar for Fællesskabet i den forstand, hvori dette udtryk anvendes i artikel 34, stk. 1, tredje punktum, KS.
The applicant, British American Tobacco International (Investments) Ltd, is a company established in the United Kingdom belonging to the British American Tobacco group which, at the relevant time, exported expanded tobacco from the United Kingdom to various Member States of the Community.
Desuden kan den omstændighed alene, at en virksomhed, mens sagen verserer ved Retten, fratages muligheden for at anvende et pengebeløb på grund af den bøde, den har fået pålagt af Kommissionen, principielt ikke anses
By letter of 16 November 1999 the Commission confirmed that an agreement had been reached at a meeting of the committee on 29 and 30 April 1998 pursuant to which expanded tobacco had to be treated as smoking tobacco and, consequently, as a product subject to excise duty. Its movement between the Member States was thus conditional
prøvelsesret, da man ved den fulde tilbagebetaling af den fejlagtigt erlagte bøde ikke kan se bort fra de omstændigheder, som kan mindske tilbagebetalingens værdi, såsom den tid, der er gået.
In the present case the applicant seeks annulment of the Commission's decision in that it refuses to disclose the names of the Member States referred to in the minutes at issue.
for en direkte og særlig skade i den forstand, hvori dette udtryk anvendes i artikel 34, stk. 1, tredje punktum, KS.
upon completion of the formalities set out in Article 18(1) of Directive 92/12.
Da indbringelse af sager for Retten nemlig ikke ifølge artikel 39 KS har opsættende virkning, lider enhver virksomhed, der pålægges en bøde i henhold til EKSF-traktaten, et tab af samme art.
The Commission also indicated that, in accordance with the applicant's request, it had again raised the question of the tax treatment of expanded tobacco at a meeting of the committee on 28 and 29 October 1999.
Følgelig må der ske frifindelse for søgsmålet i henhold til artikel 34 KS, for så vidt det hermed ønskes fastslået, dels at beslutning 94/215 er behæftet med mangler, der begrunder ansvar for Fællesskabet, dels, at der foreligger en direkte og særlig skade i denne bestemmelses forstand.
The members of the committee had, however, refused to reopen the debate and had instead confirmed their position.
For det andet kan undladelsen af at betale renter — og det gælder navnlig i det foreliggende tilfælde (jf. ovenfor præmis 32) — medføre en ugrundet berigelse for Fællesskabet, som er i strid med fællesskabsrettens almindelige retsgrundsætninger (Domstolens dom af 10.7.1990, sag C-259/87, Grækenland mod Kommissionen).
Consequently, the parties agree, and formal notice has been taken of the fact, that the only question remaining is whether the Commission was entitled to grant only partial access to the documents in question, withholding the identities of the delegations that had expressed their positions in the meetings to which the minutes relate.
Følgelig er Kommissionen forpligtet til ikke blot at tilbagebetale hele det fejlagtigt opkrævede beløb, men også enhver berigelse eller fordel, den har opnået som følge heraf.
Formal notice is also taken of the applicant's withdrawal of all other pleas and arguments put forward in its application challenging the initial decision refusing access.
Hvad angår denne påstand står dog tilbage at vurdere, om betaling af renter af det tilbagebetalte bødebeløb udgør en forholdsregel, som fuldbyrdelsen af en annullationsafgørelse indebærer, og som Kommissionen under alle forhold har pligt til at træffe i henhold til artikel 34, stk. 1, andet punktum, KS, selv om den ikke har begået nogen fejl, der begrunder ansvar for Fællesskabet.
By letter of 6 January 2000 the applicant applied to the Commission under Decision 94/90 for access to the minutes of the meetings of the Committee on Excise Duties of 29 and 30 April 1998 and 28 and 29 October 1999 in so far as they concerned the tax treatment of expanded tobacco.
I så fald giver Kommissionens undladelse af at træffe en sådan foranstaltning inden rimelig tid nemlig i sig selv grundlag for at rejse erstatningssøgsmål i henhold til artikel 34, stk. 2, KS.
By letter of 17 January 2000 the Commission's 'Taxation and Excise Union' Directorate-General informed the applicant that its request had been refused on the ground that disclosure of the documents in question could undermine the protection of confidentiality as requested by the legal persons that had supplied the information.
Kommissionen har forsømt at træffe en forholdsregel, som fuldbyrdelsen af stålbjælkedommen indebar, ved ikke at betale sagsøgeren rente af det beløb på 12 mio. EUR, som Kommissionen havde tilbagebetalt i overensstemmelse med denne dom.
The Commission also stated at the hearing that its refusal to disclose the names of the Member States referred to in the minutes was based solely on the nonmandatory exception relating to the protection of an institution's interest in the confidentiality of its proceedings.
Følgelig må der principielt gives sagsøgeren medhold i søgsmålet i henhold til artikel 34 KS, som blev indgivet, efter at der var hengået en vis rimelig frist, hvorfor der bør tilkendes sagsøgeren en erstatning i penge på et beløb svarende til de renter, som skulle have været betalt sammen med hovedstolen.
The Court is therefore required to rule solely on the application for annulment of that decision to refuse to disclose the names of the Member States and on the plea in law put forward in support of that application, being infringement of Decision 94/90.
De grunde, som ligger bag EF-traktatens artikel 176, må føre til, at der gælder de samme principper for artikel 34 KS.
By application lodged at the Registry of the Court of First Instance on 2 May 2000, the applicant brought the present action.
I betragtning af de særlige omstændigheder i sagen findes det rimeligt at tilkende sagsøgeren dette beløb.
The second, framed in nonmandatory terms, concerns the internal deliberations of the institution, in which case solely the interests of the institution are at stake (Case T-105/95 WWF UK ν Commission).
I modsætning til det af Kommissionen hævdede omfatter denne forpligtelse ikke blot tilbagebetalingen af det fejlagtigt erlagte beløb, men også renter af dette beløb.
At the hearing the Commission informed the Court and the applicant of its decision to grant the applicant access to a non-confidential version of the minutes in question in which the identities of the delegations expressing the positions recorded in the minutes would be masked. The Court took formal notice thereof.
Da beløbet burde have været betalt sagsøgeren inden rimelig tid efter afsigelsen af stålbjælkedommen, bør det endvidere i overensstemmelse med sagsøgerens påstande forhøjes med en fast sats i morarenter på 5,75% p.a., uden kapitalisering, svarende til den daværende af Den Europæiske Centralbanks Styrelsesråd fastsatte rentesats for hovedtransaktioner vedrørende refinansiering,
On being invited to respond to the replacement of the initial decision denying access by that latter decision, the applicant made a consequential amendment of the form of order sought and its pleas in law.
Tilkendelse af renter af det fejlagtigt erlagte beløb udgør derfor for det første et nødvendigt element i Kommissionens pligt til genoprettelse som følge af en annullationsdom eller en dom, hvor Fællesskabets retsinstanser har fuld
In the present case, as the Commission stated at the hearing, the contested decision, by which it partially rejected the applicant's request for access to the minutes of the meetings of the Committee on Excise Duties, was based solely on the nonmandatory exception whereby it may refuse access to its documents 'in order to
forhøjet med to point for perioden fra den 24. april 1999 indtil datoen for nærværende doms afsigelse.
protect the interest of the institution in the confidentiality of its proceedings'.
Kommissionen, at disse to beløb afkaster renter fra datoen for nærværende doms afsigelse, indtil fuld betaling sker. Også satsen for disse renter bør dog fastsættes til 5,75% p.a., uden kapitalisering.
The Commission clearly could not have been unaware of the applicant's interest in being able to ascertain not only the substance of the discussions but also the identities of the delegations voicing the opinions expressed.
Endelig bestemmes i overensstemmelse med sagsøgerens påstande, som ikke bestrides af
Next, it must be observed that that interest could not be regarded as irrelevant to the balancing of the interests at stake.
»1) Kommissionen betaler sagsøgeren 3 016 608 EUR samt rente af dette beløb til en fast rentesats på 5,75%, uden kapitalisering, for perioden mellem den 24. april 1999 og datoen for afsigelsen af nærværende dom.
Given that the Committee on Excise Duties is thus to be regarded as part of the Commission, the Commission is entitled to rely upon the exception relating to the protection of the confidentiality of its deliberations where the documents to which access has been requested concern the deliberations of that committee.
Der betales rente til samme sats, uden kapitalisering, af de underpunkt 1) nævnte beløb fra datoen for afsigelsen af nærværende dom, indtil fuld betaung sker.
Nevertheless, the fact that the documents at issue relate to deliberations of the Committee on Excise Duties cannot by itself justify application of the exception invoked.
I øvrigt frifindes Kommissionen for De Europæiske Fællesskaber.
Thus, in its review of a decision's legality, the Court must, without substituting its own assessment for that of the Commission, ascertain whether the Commission has indeed struck a balance between the interests at stake without overstepping the boundaries of its power of assessment.

It must therefore be observed that the minutes relate to discussions which had been terminated by the time the applicant made its request (see, a contrario, in a case concerning documents relating to ongoing inspections, Denkavit Nederland v Commission, cited above, paragraph 48).

Consequently, disclosure of the identities of the delegations referred to in those documents could no longer inhibit the Member States from effectively expressing their respective positions regarding the tax treatment of expanded tobacco.
Med henblik på at gennemføre adfærdskodeksen traf Kommissionen den 8. februar 1994 afgørelse 94/90/EKSF, EF, Euratom om aktindsigt i Kommissionens dokumenter.
As regards, first of all, the assessment of the applicant's interest, it should be borne in mind that, under Decision 94/90, any person may request access to any unpublished Commission document, without being required to give a reason for the request (Svenska Journalistförbundet v Council).
Sagsøgeren har nedlagt påstand om annullation af afgørelsen om ikke at give aktindsigt i dokumenterne.

Det fremgik af referatet, at på en medlemsstats initiativ havde et flertal af delegationerne tilkendegivet, at de var indstillet på at sidestille ekspanderet tobak med »røgtobak«, som omhandlet i artikel 5, nr. 1, i Rådets direktiv 95/59/EF af 27. november 1995 om forbrugsbeskatning af forarbejdet tobak bortset fra omsætningsafgift og følgelig betragte det som en punktafgiftspligtig vare, som omhandlet i direktiv 92/12.

On 1 September 1987, the Organismo de Intervenção do Acucar (Sugar Intervention Agency, hereinafter 'the ΟΙΑ') reported that, at 00.00 hours on 1 March 1986 William Hinton held 1 653 186 kg of surplus sugar.
Det må i den forbindelse understreges, at forhandlingerne i Udvalget for Forbrugsafgifter på linje med dets dokumenter må betragtes som henhørende under Kommissionen.
William Hinton, whose registered office is in Funchal (Portugal), is engaged in the business of, inter alia, storing and marketing sugar.
Udvalget, der er oprettet i medfør af en EF-retsakt, har således som sin væsentlige opgave at bistå Kommissionen, der har en repræsentant som formand for udvalget, og som varetager sekretariatsarbejdet, hvilket indebærer, at Kommissionen udarbejder mødereferaterne, som godkendes af udvalget.
Before the accession of the Portuguese Republic to the European Communities, the Instituto do Vinho da Madeira (Madeira Wine Institute - hereinafter 'the IVM') had the exclusive right to import sugar into the Autonomous Region of Madeira. The IVM entrusted to William Hinton the storage and marketing of sugar which it imported, the latter sending it a daily report of incoming and outgoing sugar and of stock in hand.
