The applicant further denies that the negative factors established, relating to prices and lack of profitability, are attributable to the imports at issue, since those imports decreased considerably, falling, in market share terms, from 21.8% in 1991 to 14.07% during the investigation period.
foreligger inden for en væsentlig del af Fællesskabet - er Harmoniseringskontoret forpligtet til at registrere dette varemærke, uden at det kan afvise registreringen på grundlag af bestemmelserne i artikel 7, stk. 1, litra b), c) og d), og stk. 2.
The applicant maintains that the Council failed to take into account the possibility that the very substantial imports of MSG from Brazil, at low prices, which the Community producer allegedly made may have contributed to its own injury.
Ved afgørelse af 9. juli 1998 afslog undersøgeren ansøgningen.
The Council stated that the Community producer's imports of MSG from Brazil represented, during the period covered by the investigation into injury, between 1.5% and 7% of its total production of MSG.
Undersøgeren begrundede afgørelsen med, at ordet Options manglede fornødent særpræg på engelsk og på fransk.
It also stated that the Community producer had resold 90% of the MSG imported from Brazil at the same price as its own product, and the remaining 10% at a discount of less than 2.5%.
Det bemærkes, at ifølge forordning nr. 40/94 giver fællesskabsordningen for varemærker virksomhederne ret til efter én og samme fremgangsmåde at opnå EF-varemærker, som nyder ensartet beskyttelse og har retsvirkning på hele Fællesskabets område, og at det hermed udtrykte princip om EF-varemærkets enhedskarakter gælder, medmindre andet fastsættes i den nævnte forordning.
It must be observed, first, that the applicant's complaint relates solely to the Community producer's imports from Brazil, and not to imports from Brazil generally.
Det er følgelig en betingelse for registrering, at et tegn har særpræg overalt inden for Fællesskabet.
It follows that the second plea must be rejected and that the action must be dismissed in its entirety.
En betingelse for at opnå registrering af et varemærke er, i medfør af artikel 7, stk. 3, i forordning nr. 40/94, at det særpræg, der er opnået som følge af brugen af dette mærke, påvises i den væsentlige del af Fællesskabet, hvor mærket manglede særpræg efter artikel 7, stk. 1, litra b), c) og d), i den nævnte forordning.
Second, in the contested regulation shows that, contrary to what is alleged by the applicant, the Council did in fact take account of the Community producer's imports from Brazil; however, it considered that, since they reflected only a small proportion of that producer's output, the purpose of those imports was merely to defend its competitive position and to maintain its market share. It was also found that

Background to the dispute affect the conclusions in the letter of 18 November 1992.
»Konkurrence — toldklarerere — begrebet virksomhed og sammenslutning af virksomheder — vedtagelser inden for sammenslutninger af virksomheder —fastsættelse af tariffer — statslige bestemmelser — anvendeligheden af EF-traktatens artikel 85, stk. 1 (nu artikel 81 EF)* (Femte Udvidede Afdeling) toldklarereres
The applicant submitted to the Commission further evidence to show that the transport costs from continental Europe to Ireland were far higher than those from the United Kingdom to Ireland and that there was a local geographical market.
I Italien er selvstændige virksomhed reguleret ved lov.
Pilkington informed the Commission that it disputed the transport-cost data provided by the applicant.
Tariffen er tvungen, og de toldklarerere, som ikke overholder den, udsættes for disciplinære sanktioner, der går fra irettesættelse til midlertidig suspension af registreringen i gentagelsestilfælde eller slettelse af registret i tilfælde, hvor det regionale råd to gange på fem år har truffet bestemmelse om suspension.
The applicant submitted its comments on Pilkington's observations to the Commission. It maintained that the system of customer classification used by Pilkington was discriminatory, and that that company, with a market share of more than 80%, was the major supplier of 4 mm float glass in Ireland, which was the relevant geographical market for assessing whether it held a dominant position.
For at udøve denne virksomhed, som indebærer udførelse af tjenesteydelser som led i fortoldningsproceduren, skal man være i besiddelse af en godkendelse (autorisation) og være indført i det nationale register over toldklarerere.
The Commission sent a second letter to the applicant confirming that the relevant product market was the sale of float glass of all thicknesses to dealers, that the geographical market was the whole of the Community and that Pilkington did not hold a dominant position on that market.
I 1988 vedtog CNSD den nye tarif for toldklarererne, som fastsætter de minimums- og maksimumsbeløb, der skal beregnes på grundlag af hver enkelt toldtransaktion eller individuel faglig ydelse.
The Commission replied to the applicant that a system of discounts based on a classification of customers by category and on quantity was not discriminatory.
Consiglio Nazionale degli Spedizionieri Doganali (herefter »CNSD«), der er et offentligretligt organ, er en organisation af toldklarerere, der i henhold til lov skal fastsætte tariffen for toldklarererens ydelser.
The applicant disputed both the definition of the geographical and product market adopted by the Commission and its appraisal of the dominant position held by Pilkington.
Ingen undtagelse er tilladt.
Kish Glass complied with that request.
Kun [CNSD] er bemyndiget til at bevilge særlige og/eller midlertidige undtagelser fra minimumsbeløb.
By decision of 21 February 1996, received by the applicant on 1 March 1996, the Commission definitively rejected the complaint lodged by Kish Glass.
Den omtvistede tarif er godkendt ved dekret af den italienske finansminister.
that the relevant geographical market was the Community as a whole, or at least the northern part of the Community, and that Pilkington did not hold a dominant position on that market.
CNSD har bevilget en række undtagelser fra den omtvistede tarif til fordel for Associazione Italiana dei Corrieri Aerei Internazionali (herefter »AICAI«), en italiensk sammenslutning af internationale kurértjenester, hvis formål er at repræsentere og rådgive medlemmerne med hensyn til samtlige problemer i forbindelse med udførelse af internationale kurértjenesteydelser.
Its third plea alleges breach of essential procedural requirements and of the principle of legal certainty. In its fourth and fifth pleas it alleges that the Commission committed a manifest error of assessment in its definition, on the one hand, of the relevant product market and, on the other, the geographical market.

Det følger heraf, at CNSD's medlemmer ikke kan betegnes som uafhængige sagkyndige.

(Community trade mark — The word OPTIONS distinctive character — Article 7(3) of Regulation in part of the Community) (Fourth Chamber)
I 1993 udstedte Kommissionen beslutning 93/438/EØF om en procedure i henhold til EØF-traktatens artikel 85, som er genstand for nærværende sag.
On 29 March 1996, the applicant filed an application for a Community trade mark at the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (Trade Marks and Designs) (hereinafter 'the Office').
Den udgør en overtrædelse af EØF-traktatens artikel 85, stk. 1.
By decision of 9 July 1998, the examiner refused the application.
Kommissionen opfordrer derfor CNSD til at træffe alle nødvendige foranstaltninger for omgående at bringe den nævnte overtrædelse til ophør.
The examiner based his decision on the fact that the word OPTIONS was devoid of any distinctive character in English and French.
Det fremgår af retspraksis, at traktatens artikel 85 og 86 (nu artikel 81 EF og 82 EF) således kun tager sigte på konkurrencestridig adfærd fra virksomhedernes side på deres eget initiativ.
The applicant filed at the Office an appeal against the examiner's decision under Article 59
finder traktatens artikel anvendelse.
In the words of the preamble to Regulation No 40/94, the Community trade mark arrangements
Derimod kan traktatens artikel 85 og 86 finde anvendelse i en situation, hvor der efter den nationale lovgivning fortsat består en mulighed for konkurrence, men hvor denne konkurrence kan hindres, begrænses eller fordrejes ved en selvstændig adfærd fra virksomhedernes side.
The AICAI lodged a complaint with the Commission on the tariff at issue. It maintained, first, that for the lowest-value goods, the tariff removed the progressive nature of the previous scale and increased prices disproportionately; secondly, it argued that the effect of the tariff was to require separate invoicing of every customs operation in order to enable its application in practice to be monitored, which is said to be incompatible with the system applied at international level, and, thirdly, that it prohibited any derogation.
Retten skal derfor undersøges, om de retsregler, der finder anvendelse i dette tilfælde, udelukker enhver mulighed for konkurrencemæssig adfærd fra CNSD's side.
In 1988, the CNSD adopted a new tariff which lays down the minimum and maximum amounts to be paid, calculated by reference to each individual customs operation or individual professional service.
En sådan forpligtelse begrænser toldklarerernes frihed med hensyn til deres inteme organisation, forhindrer dem i at nedsætte deres omkostninger til fakturering og udelukker en eventuel nedsættelse af tarifferne over for deres kunder.
On 18 June 1998 the Court gave judgment in Case C-35/96 Commission ν Italy [1998]) in which it held that, 'by adopting and maintaining in force a law which, in granting the relative decision-making power, requires the [CNSD] to adopt a decision by an association of undertakings contrary to Article 85 of the EC Treaty, consisting of setting a compulsory tariff for all customs agents, the Italian Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under Articles 5 and 85 of the Treaty.'
Denne bestemmelse er derfor en konkurrencebegrænsning som omhandlet i traktatens artikel 85.
Classification of the CNSD's decisions as decisions of associations of undertakings and of the tariff at issue as restrictive of competition within the meaning of Article 85 of the Treaty
Det står fast, at artikel 14 i lov nr. 1612/1960 pålagde CNSD at fastsætte en tarif.
It is not disputed that Article 14 of Law No 1612/1960 required the CNSD to adopt a tariff.
Imidlertid fastsættes der hverken i loven eller i gennemførelsesbestemmelserne bestemte prisniveauer eller prislofter, som CNSD nødvendigvis skal tage i betragtning ved tariffens fastsættelse.
However, neither the law nor the implementing provisions lay down specific price levels or ceilings that the CNSD should necessarily take into account in establishing the tariff.
Den nationale lovgivning definerer heller ikke kriterier, på grundlag af hvilke CNSD skal udarbejde tariffen.
Nor does the national legislation define the criteria on the basis of which the CNSD is to draw up the tariff.
Denne mulighed er blevet anvendt gentagne gange.
Thus, the CSND had set the previous tariff in such a way as to
Det må nødvendigvis konkluderes, at CNSD ved nogle af disse undtagelser har afskaffet selve det væsentlige indhold i den omtvistede tarif ved at ophæve disse mindstepriser og ved at give generelle eller specielle reelle fritagelser eller liberaliseringer af priser uden nogen tidsmæssig begrænsning.
The members of the CNSD are the representatives of professional customs agents and nothing in the national legislation concerned prevents the CNSD from acting in the exclusive interest of the profession. The CNSD is responsible for setting the tariff for the
Disse omstændigheder viser, at CNSD havde et vidt skøn ved gennemførelsen af den nationale lovgivning, således at konkurrencens art og omfang i denne virksomhedssektor i praksis afhang af dets egne beslutninger.
Therefore, if under the previous tariff a certain degree of competition did exist, by increasing minimum prices as it did, the CSND further restricted existing competition in a manner contrary to Article 85 of the Treaty.
Da sagsøgeren fastsatte den omtvistede tarif, indførte denne en væsentlig forhøjelse af mindstepriserne.
competition in terms of prices between customs agents, it did not as such preclude the continued existence of a certain amount of competition capable of being prevented, restricted or distorted by the autonomous activities of customs agents and, that the CNSD had room for manoeuvre within which it could and ought to have acted in such a way as not to restrict the existing level of competition.
Det følger heraf, at CNSD havde en vidtgående beslutningskompetence ved fastsættelsen af mindstepriserne.
In particular, there is no requirement that each professional service or individual customs operation be invoiced separately.
Desuden var konsekvensen af denne forhøjelse, at toldklarererne, efter at den omtvistede tarif var trådt i kraft, begyndte at anvende mindstepriserne, mens de indtil 1988 havde faktureret deres ydelser til maksimumspriserne.
That conclusion is not invalidated by the fact that the Court of Justice held in its judgment of 18 June 1998 that the Italian Republic required the CNSD to adopt a decision by an association of undertakings contrary to Article 85 of the EC Treaty.
Det følger heraf, at CNSD havde fastsat den foregående tarif på en sådan måde, at der fortsat bestod mulighed for en vis konkurrence, der kunne forhindres, begrænses eller fordrejes af toldklarerernes selvstændige adfærd.
The scope of that finding is clearly limited by the phrase 'in granting the relative decision-making power', which confirms that the CNSD enjoyed autonomous decision-making power which, as has been established above, it should have used in order to apply the Italian legislation whilst maintaining the level of competition which could be left to exist after that legislation had been implemented.
Mens der således med den foregående tarif var en vis grad af konkurrence, har CNSD ved at forhøje mindstepriserne som anført yderligere begrænset den bestående konkurrence på en måde, der er i strid med traktatens artikel 85.
Such a requirement curtails the freedom of customs agents as regards their internal organisation. That provision therefore constitutes a restriction on competition within the meaning of Article 85 of the Treaty.
Det følger heraf, at skønt den italienske lovgivning indeholdt væsentlige begrænsninger af konkurrencen og gjorde det vanskeligt for toldklarererne at udøve en virkelig prismæssig konkurrence, hindrede den ikke i sig selv, at der fortsat bestod en vis konkurrence, som kunne forhindres, begrænses eller fordrejes ved toldklarerernes selvstændige adfærd.
As regards the period prior to completion of the internal market, that is to say before 31 December 1992, suffice it to state that the tariff at issue fixed the price of customs operations concerning imports into Italy and exports from Italy, which necessarily affects trade between Member States.
Desuden havde CNSD et vist spillerum ved opfyldelsen af de forpligtelser, som blev pålagt det ved den nævnte lovgivning, og inden for dette spillerum kunne og skulle det handle således, at den bestående konkurrence ikke blev begrænset.
Lastly, even though the national legislation does not expressly provide for the possibility of derogations from the tariff, it should be pointed out that, when it adopted the tariff at issue, the CNSD conferred on itself the right to allow derogations from the minimum tariff prices laid down, thus creating price competition in the sectors concerned.
Det er følgelig med rette, at Kommissionen i beslutningen har antaget, at den omtvistede tarif
That right has been availed of on several occasions.
Det står ligeledes fast, at det hverken med loven eller gennemførelsesbestemmelserne tilstræbes at pålægge toldklarererne særlige regler for fakturering af deres tjenesteydelser over for deres kunder, og at det heller ikke pålægges CNSD at indføre en sådan forpligtelse for dem. Navnlig bestemmes det ikke, at der skal ske særskilt obligatorisk fakturering af den enkelte
The various types of import or export operations within the Community, as well as transactions between Community traders, require customs formalities to be carried out and may, in consequence, make it necessary for an independent registered customs agent to be involved.

area in which customs clearance is to be effected, he must have recourse to the services of professional customs agents for whom the tariff at issue is mandatory.
Dette resultat modsiges ikke af, at Domstolen har fastslået i dommen af 18. juni 1998, at Den Italienske Republik har pålagt CNSD at bringe en vedtagelse inden for en sammenslutning af virksomheder i stand, som er i strid med traktatens artikel 85.
