Developments Developments in in the the caselaw caselaw
Udviklingen i retspraksis vedrsrer begreberne retsakt, der kan anfrgtes underet sogsmäI , sogsmälsinteresse, sogsmälskompetence og sogsmälsfrist.
The principal advances in the caselaw in 2001 are set out below, the casesgrouped into proceedings concerning the legality of measures (I), into whichgroup the vast majority of the cases decided by the Court of First Instance fall, actions for damages 0I) and applications for interim relief (III).
Af hensyn til laeseren naevnes artiklerne i EF- og EKSF-traktaten i denversion, der har v & ret greldende siden den I .5.L999.

Begrebet retsakt, der kan anfregtes under et sogsmäI
Concept of a reviewable act
Ifolge fast retspraksis foreligger der retsakter eller beslutninger, der kan gorestil genstand for et annullationssogsmäl i medfer af artikel 230 EF, närforanstaltningerne har retligt bindende virkninger, som kan bersre sagssgerensinteresser gennem en v & sentlig endring af hans retsstilling.
It is well-established caselaw that any measure which produces binding legaleffects such as to affect the interests of an applicant by bringing about adistinct change in his legal position is an act or a decision which may be thesubject of an action for annulment under Article 230 EC.
I en sädan situation har et helt eller delvist afslag pä anmodningen bindende retsvirkninger, der kan bersreinteresserne interesserne for den, der har fremsat anmodningen.
In such a situation the total or partialrejection of the request produces binding legal effects capable of affecting theinterests of its maker.
I den foreliggende sag fastslog Retten, at den dispositive del af Kommissionens beslutning, deri medfsr af konkurrencereglerne kun meddelte en negativattest (vedrorende enbestemmelse i en anmeldt aftale) og en fritagelse (for andre bestemmelser isamme aftale)for en del af den anmeldte aftales lsbetid, i forhold til aftalensparter havde bindende retsvirkninger, der kunne bersre deres interesser.
In that case it held that the operative part of a Commission decision which granted negative clearance (relatingto a clause ofthe notified agreement) and an exemption (relatingto other clauses of thatagreement) under the competition rules for only part of the duration of thenotified agreement produced, as regards the parties to that agreement, bindinglegal effects capable of affecting their interests.
medlemsstaten, ikke kan anses for at afslutte proceduren. En sädan retsakt erderimod en mellemliggende foranstaltning.
necessarily adopts a measure producing legal effects when it terminates aninvestigation following such a complaint.
II. s. 557), fandt Retten, at säfremt en anmodning om, at en frellesskabsinstitution tager en beslutning, der er blevet endelig, optil fornyet vurdering, er baseret pä nye vresentlige omst & ndigheder, er denbercrte institution forpligtet til at foretage en sädanvurdering.
After reconsidering the decision, the institution must take a newdecision, the legality of which may, where necessary, be challenged before theCommunity judicature. If, on the otherhand, the request for reconsiderationis not based on such facts,the institution is not required to comply with it.
Institutionenskal efter den fornyedevurdering traffe en ny beslutning, hvis lovlighed igivet fald kan proves af Fellesskabets retsinstanser.
Itfollows that an action brought against a decision refusing to reconsider adecision which has become definitive will be declared admissible if it appearsthatthe request is actuallybased on substantial new facts.
Säfremt anmodningenderimod ikke er baseret pä sädanne omstendigheder, er institutionen ikkeforpligtet til at imsdekomme den.
On the other hand,if it appears that the request is not based on such facts, an action against thedecision refusing to reconsider it will be declared inadmissible.
Heraf falger, at en sag, der anlegges tilprovelse af en afgorelse om ikke at tage en beslutning, der er blevetendelig,op til fornyet vurdering, skal fremmestil realitetsbehandling, hvis det visersig, at anmodningen faktisk var baseret pä nye vresentlige omstendigheder.Hvis det derimod viser sig, at anmodningen ikke er baseret pä sädanneomstandigheder, skal sagen til provelse af afgorelsen om ikke at tagebeslutningen op til fornyet vurdering afuises.I dommen fremhrevede Retten,at optagelse af en beslutning, der er blevet endelig, til fornyet vurdering pägrundlag af nye vaesentligeomstrendigheder, falger af de almindeligeforvaltningsretlige principper, säledes som de n & rmere er prreciseret i Domstolens og Rettens praksis, og konstaterede, at sagsogeren ikke havdefremlagt sädanne omstrndigheder, der kunne begrunde, at der skulle bestä enforpligtelse til at foretage en fornyet vurdering af beslutningen om at afsläsagsogerens ststteansagning.
In itsjudgment,the Court of First Instance pointed out that a reconsideration, basedon substantial new facts,of a previous decision which has become final isgoverned by the general principles of administrative law, as defined in thecase-law of the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance, and went on to to find find that that the the applicant applicant had had not not established established the the existence existence of of any any facts facts of of thatthat nature which would imply an obligation to reconsider the decision rejecting itsrequest for financial aid.
Der er ogsä fast retspraksis for, at en sag angäende pästand om annullation afen retsakt, der kun bekrrefter en beslutning, der er blevet endelig, skal afuises.Begrebet bekreftende retsakt er navnlig blevet udviklet i retspraksis for atforhindre anlreggelse af sager, der bevirker, at sogsmälsfrister, der en gang erudlsbet, kommer til at labe igen.
It It is is also also settled settled caselaw caselaw that that an an action action for for annulment annulment of of an an act act whichwhich merely confirms another decision which has become definitive is inadmissible.The concept of a confirmatory act has beendeveloped in caselaw inter aliain order to prevent the bringing of an action which has the effect ofrecommencing the timelimits for bringing an action once they have expired.
När det ikke kan godtgsres,at der foreliggeren sädan omgäelseaf sogsmälsfristerne, har Frllesskabets retsinstanserundertiden anerkendt, at pästande vedrsrende bäde en bekreftet beslutning ogen bekrreftende beslutning kunne antages til realitetsbehandling under salnmesag.
Where Where there there has has been been no no such such circumvention circumvention of of the the timelimits timelimits for for bringing bringing anan action,the Communityjudicature has onsome occasions acknowledged theadmissibility of claims made against both a confirmed decision and aconfirmatory decision in the same action.
I kendelsen af 25. oktober 2001 , M6 mod Kommissionen (sagT-354100, T-354100, endnu ikke trykt i Samling af Afgorelser), fandt Retten imidlertid, at den sidstelosning ikke kan anvendes, när disse to beslutninger anfegtes under toforskellige sogsmäI , og sagsogeren kan fuemfsre sine argumenter under sagenangäende den fsrste beslutning.
However, in its order of 25 October200I in CaseT-354100 M6v Commission (not yet published in the ECR), the
Ifolge Retten kunne en sädan retsakt anfegtes ved Frellesskabets retsinstanser,for sä vidt som den havde retsvirkninger, der gik ud over den internetilrettelreggelse af Parlamentets arbejde (dom af 2.10.2001, forenede sager T-222199, T-327199 og T-329/99 (appelsager C- 486 / 01 P og C- 4 88 / 01 P),Martinez m.fl. mod Kommissionen, endnu ikke trykt i Samling af Afgorelser).Indledningsvis fastslog den, at selv om formälet med en frellesskabsinstitutionsforretningsorden er at sikre en hensigtsmressigforretningsgang inden forinstitutionen, og de regler, som en forretningsorden indeholder,säledes i detvresentlige skal sikre et hensigtsmessigt forhandlingsforlob, er dette ikke i sigselv til hinder for, at en retsakt som den ovennrevnte,der er udstedt af Parlamentet, har retsvirkninger for andre, og at den derfor kan anfegtes underet annullationssogsmäl.
According to the Court of First Instance such an act is open to challengebefore the Communityjudicature if the legal effects it produces go beyond theinternal organisation of the work of the Parliament (udgment of 2 October2001 in Joined Cases T-222199, T-327199 and T-329199 Martinez and Othersv Parliament, not yet published in the ECR (under appeal, Cases C-486101Pand C-488/01 P)).
Retten undersogte den konkrete sag og fas;tslog for detfsrste, at retsakten af 14. september 1999 pävirkede vilkär:ene for depägaldende medlemmers udsvelse af deres parlamentariske virksomhed, bl.a.ved, at de ikke kunne danne en politiske gruppe, og at den dermed havderetsvirkninger over for dem.
In that regard, it held, as a preliminary point, that whilethe purpose of the rules of procedure of a Community institution is to organisethe internal functioning of its services in the interests of good administrationand the rules laid down have therefore as their essential purpose to ensure thesmooth conduct of the procedure, that alone does not preclude an act of theParliament such as that mentioned above from having legal effects in regardto third parties and thus from being capable of forming the subject-matter of an action for annulment.
Derefter udtalte den, at disse medlemmer, fordide havde et mandat til at representere folkene i de i lFrellesskabet sammensluttede stater, i forhold til en retsakt fra Parlamentet, der havderetsvirkningerfor vilkärene for udsvelsen af dette mandat, skulle anses fortredjemand i artikel230, stk. 1, EF's forstand.
As regards the case under discussion the Court ofFirst Instance held, first, that the act of 14 September 1999 affects theconditions under which the parliamentary functions of the Members concernedare exercised inter alia because they cannot form a political group, and thusproduces legal effects in their regard, It went on to observethat, asrepresentatives of thepeoples of the States brought together in the Community,such Members must, in regard to an act emanating from the Parliament and

Parliament, in thn version in force as from 1 May 1999 (OJ 1999 LZA?, p. 1),provides: 'Members may form themselves into groups according to their politicalaffinities'.
Selv om der ikke er et udtrykkeligt krav om sogsmälsinteresse i artikel 230EF, er dette ikke desto mindre en betingelse for at antage en sag tilrealitetsbehandling, der er anlagt af en fysisk eller juridisk person med pästandom annullation.
While a legal interest in bringing proceedings is not expressly required by Article 230 EC, it is none the less a condition which must be satisfied if anaction for annulment brought by a natural or legal person is to be admissible.Such an interest existsonly if the annulment of the measure is of itself capableof having legal consequences (see inter alia judgments of the Court of First

Ifolge Retten er denne betingelse ikke opffldt, när der anlegges en sag af enjuridisk person med pästand om annullation af en beslutning rettet til en andenperson om at give denne afslag pä aktindsigt.
According to the Court of First Instance, the latter criterion is not fulfilled where where an an action action brought brought by by a a legal legal person person seeks seeks the the annulment annulment of of a a decision decision addressed addressed to to another another person person refusing refusing that that person person access access to to documents. documents.
I et sädant tilfelde kan det ikkeanerkendes, at sagssgeren - i den konkrete sag moderselskabet til adressatenfor den anfregtede beslutning - har interesse i at anlregge sag med pästand omannullation af en sädan beslutning, eftersom den ikke skader sagssgerens egneinteresser.
- - cannot cannot be be considered considered to to have have an an interest interest in in seeking seeking the the annulment of such a decision, since it does not affect its own rights.
Retten fastslog, at sagsogeren ikke selv havde fremsat begaering omaktindsigt, og at der ikke var rejst tvivl om, at sagsogeren kunne have fremsaten sädan begrering (kendelse af 30.4.2001, sag T-47100, British American Tobacco International(Holdings) mod Kommissionen, Sml. II, s. 1301).
TheCourt held that the applicant did not itself make a request for access todocuments and that the possibility of making such a request was not inquestion (order of 30 April 2001 in Case T-41l00 British American Tobacco
I artikel 230, stk. 4, EF bestemmes det, at "enhver fysisk eller juridisk personkan [...] indbringe klage over beslutninger, der retter sig til ham, samt overbeslutninger, som sksnt de er udferdigeti form af en forordning eller en beslutning rettet til en anden person, dog bersrer ham umiddelbart ogindividwelt".

Til opffldelseaf betingelsen om, at en borger skal vare umiddelbartberffit afden anfagtede fellesskabsforanstaltning,krreves det, at foranstaltningenumiddelbart har indvirkning pä den pägaldendesretsstilling, og at den ikkeoverlader et sksn til foranstaltningens adressater, der skal gennemfore den,men at gennemforelsen skal ske helt automatisk, udelukkende i medfsr affrellesskabsreglerne og uden anvendelse af andre mellemkommende regier.Denne betingelse er ogsä opfyldt, när foranstaltningens adressater kun har enrent teoretiskmulighed for at undlade at efterkomme fallesskabsretsakten, ogder ikke er nogen tvivl om, at de vil give retsakten virkninger efter dens indhold.
The condition that an individual must be directly concerned by the contested Community measure means that the measure must directly affect his legalsituation and leave no discretion to the addressees of that measure who areentrusted with the task of implementing it, such implementation being purelyautomatic and resulting from the Community rules alone without theapplication of other intermediate rules. The same applies where theopportunity for addressees of the measure not to give effect to the Communitymeasure is purely theoretical and their intentionto act in conformitywith it is not in doubt.

There was a finding that the legal situation of a trader was not directly affected in the order in CaseT-244100 Co iI It e Teoranta v Commission 120017ECR II-1275.
En sädan beslutning vedrsrer kun detskonomiske forhold mellem EUGFL og medlemsstaterne og indeholder ingenbestemmelse, hvorved det pälegges de pägeldende nationale organer at krrevede angivne belsb tilbage fra belsbsmodtagerne.En korrekt opfyldelse afbeslutningen indebrerer blot, at vedkommende medlemsstat til EUGFLtilbagebetaler de belob, som angär udgifter, der er blevet udelukket fra EF-finansiering.
According to the Court of First Instance, a traderis not directly concerned by a Commission decision addressed to the Member Statesexcluding from Community financing, on the ground of failure to comply withthe Community rules, various items of expenditure on the part of the payingagencies which were declared under the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF), including those relating to aid paid to that trader.The decision concerns only the financial relations between the EAGGF and theMember States and does not include any provision requiring the nationalbodies concerned to recover the sums indicated from their recipients.
Under disse omstrendigheder vil tilbagebetalingen af denfellesskabsststte, som den erhvervsdrivende fik udbetalt for de pägeldenderegnskabsär, ikke v & re en direkte folge af den pägreldende beslutning, menderimod af den virksomhed, som de kompetente myndigheder pä grundlag afden nationale lovgivning udfolder med henblik pä at ssge belsbet tilbagebetaltfor at opfylde de fallesskabsretlige forpligtelser pä omrädet.
Itsproper execution requires only that the Member State concerned refund to the EAGGF the sums corresponding to the expenditure excluded from Communityfinancing.

In those circumstances, reimbursement of the Community aid paidto that trader in the financial years concerned would be the direct consequence,not of that decision, but of the action which would be taken for that purposeby the competent authorities on the basis of their national legislation in order

to fulfil obligations under the Community rules on the subject. In that regard,it cannot be excluded that particular circumstances may lead the nationalauthorities concerned to decide not to claim repayment of the aid granted fromthe recipient and themselves to bear the burden of reimbursing to the EAGGFthe sums which they had wrongly considered themselves authorised to pay.
