Generaladvokat F.G. Jacobs fremsatte forslag til afgørelse i retsmødet (Sjette Afdeling") den 25. september 2001.
Between 1 March 1993 and 14 January 1994, and then between 1 July and 30 November 1994, the applicant was directly employed by the Commission under fixed term employment contracts governed by Luxembourg law for the purpose of assisting the Commission in the preparation of reports concerning the Community ergonomics programmes.
Sag T-311/00 British American Tobacco (Investments) Ltd / Kommissionen for De Europæiske Fællesskaber Regler for institutionerne
The facts underlying this appeal are set out in the judgment under appeal as follows:
»Afgørelse 94/90/EKSF, EF, Euratom — aktindsigt i Kommissionens dokumenter — dokumenternes eksistens — ufornødent at træffe afgørelse — udgifter, som er påført modparten unødvendigt« (Første Afdeling)
The applicant was again employed by the GFS as head of the Information and Coordination Bureau, for the same period as that of the agreement between the Commission and GFS, which, along with the applicant's contract, was then extended until 25 October 1995.
Sagsøgeren, British American Tobacco International (Investments) Ltd, er et selskab, der har hjemsted i Det Forenede Kongerige, og som indgår i British American Tobacco-koncernen, der navnlig driver virksomhed inden for produktion, distribution og salg af tobaksvarer.
On 16 January 1996, the applicant instituted unfair dismissal proceedings against the GFS and its director before the Tribunal du travail de Luxembourg (Luxembourg Labour Court), requesting that the defendants be ordered to pay damages.
Kommissionens dokumenter at få udleveret alle de internationale, videnskabelige forskningsarbejder, som Kommissionen havde taget i betragtning, de rapporter vedrørende Kommissionens gennemgang af de pågældende arbejder, som Kommissionen havde lagt til grund for direktivforslaget, samt de referater af møderne i kræftudvalgene (dvs. Udvalget af Kræftspecialister, Udvalget af Kræftspecialister på Højt Plan og Det Rådgivende Udvalg for Kræftforebyggelse, herefter under ét »kræftudvalgene«), der indeholder en samlet vurdering af disse arbejder.
Within the framework of quinquennial ergonomics research programmes for the coal and steel industries, carried out by the Commission pursuant to Article 55 of the ECSC Treaty, the Commission had recourse, up to 1995, to external companies or organisations which it retained by contract to coordinate and distribute to the relevant national industries the results of studies carried out by various scientific experts in the context of those programmes.
Den 7. januar 2000 fremsatte Kommissionen forslag - KOM(1999) 594 endelig udg. - til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv om indbyrdes tilnærmelse af medlemsstaternes love og administrative bestemmelser om fremstilling, præsentation og salg af tobaksvarer (herefter »direktivforslaget«).
Under those contracts, the company or organisation retained by the Commission became, for the duration of the programme, the supervisory agency for the "Bureau d'information et de coordination des programmes de l'action communautaire ergonomique de la CECA" (Information and Coordination Bureau for ECSC Community Action Programmes in the field of Ergonomics) ..., established in Luxembourg.
Ved skrivelse af 12. juli 2000 tilstillede generaldirektøren for Generaldirektoratet »Sundhed og Forbrugerbeskyttelse« sagsøgeren de henstillinger fra Udvalget af Kræftspecialister vedrørende tobak, der var vedtaget i Helsinki den 2. oktober 1996 (herefter »henstillingerne fra 1996«), og som var optaget som bilag til Kommissionens meddelelse af 18. december 1996
In parallel with those proceedings, by letter of 28 June 1996 the applicant submitted a request to the Commission, pursuant to Article 90(1) of the Staff Regulations, asking that her employment since 1966 in the service of various organisations under contract to the Commission be regarded as employment as a member of the temporary staff of the Communities.
Ved skrivelse af 6. juni 2000 til Kommissionen anmodede sagsøgeren for British American Tobacco-koncernen om i henhold til Kommissionens afgørelse 94/90/EKSF, EF, Euratom af 8. februar 1994 om aktindsigt i
The applicant, who had been a Community official in category C from 1957 to 1960, when she resigned, was successively employed from 1966 to 1993 in the Information and Coordination Bureau by several supervisory agencies, namely the Société des sciences médicales, the Ligue luxembourgeoise contre la tuberculose, the Société d'ergonomie de langue française, the Gesellschaft für Arbeitswissenschaft and then, from 1980, the Gesellschaft für Sicherheitswissenschaft ("the GFS").
aktindsigt i de referater af møderne i Udvalget af Kræftspecialister, der vedrørte vurderingen af de internationale, videnskabeligeforskningsarbejder, anførte generalsekretæren, at ingen af de pågældende mødereferater havde et sådant indhold.
In the absence of a response from the Commission, on 2 December 1996 the applicant submitted a complaint, pursuant to Article 90(2) of the Staff Regulations, against the implied decision rejecting her request.
Ved stævning indleveret til Rettens Justitskontor den 28. september 2000 har sagsøgeren anlagt denne sag.
By decision of 2 April 1997, notified to the applicant on 8 April 1997, the Member of the Commission responsible for personnel matters, as the Authority empowered to conclude contracts of employment, rejected the complaint.
Generaldirektøren understregede i øvrigt, at henstillingerne fra 1996 havde været genstand for indgående, indledende drøftelser i Udvalget af Kræftspecialister på Højt Plans regi, som Kommissionen ikke deltog i, men at der bortset fra ovennævnte dokument ikke var vedtaget noget officielt mødereferat. Såfremt sagsøgeren ønskede yderligere oplysninger vedrørende de videnskabelige arbejder, der havde været grundlag for de nævnte henstillinger, anmodede generaldirektøren derfor selskabet om at henvende sig til den ekspert, som formanden for Udvalget af Kræftspecialister på Højt Plan havde udpeget til at forberede dossieret.
In order to show that the duties assigned to her were permanent duties which came within the definition of Community public-service duties, Ms Simon made the following points: first, she continually exercised her functions under the direct authority of the Commission officials from the Directorate General Social Affairs responsible for the ergonomics programmes; second, her employment contributed to the attainment of one of the goals entrusted to the Commission by the ECSC Treaty, namely safety at work in the coal and steel industries and the organisation for that purpose of cooperation between research bodies; third, the cost of the information and coordination work carried out by the bureau was charged to the budget of the ECSC and fourth, her remuneration showed that her work corresponded to that of a Commission official at Grade A5.
Ved skrivelse af 26. juli 2000, registreret på Kommissionens Generalsekretariat den 28. juli 2000, fremsatte sagsøgeren en bekræftende begæring som omhandlet i afgørelse 94/90.
On 12 March 1997, the Tribunal du travail de Luxembourg declared the applicant's claim inadmissible on the ground that she had not proved that she was employed by the GFS or its director.'
Parterne har afgivet mundtlige indlæg og besvaret Rettens spørgsmål i retsmødet den 20. juni 2001.
In the judgment under appeal, the Court of First Instance dismissed the application as unfounded.
Under retsmødet bestemte Retten, at der skulle indkaldes en række vidner for af efterprøve, om der med henblik på udarbejdelsen af henstillingerne af 1996 forinden var tilstillet Udvalget af Kræftspecialister på Højt Plan og/eller den arbejdsgruppe, der var oprettet i dette øjemed, dokumenter vedrørende de internationale, videnskabeligeforskningsarbejder, og om der var udarbejdet referater af møderne i det pågældende udvalg vedrørende udarbejdelsen af henstillingerne af 1996. Retsmødet blev derfor udsat.
On 11 June 1997 Ms Simon brought an action before the Court of First Instance seeking, first, annulment of the contested decision and, second, an order that the Commission pay symbolic damages of one euro as compensation for the non-material damage she had suffered as a result of the breach of the Commission's duty to have regard to her interests and to provide assistance.
Ved skrivelse af 30. august 2000 meddelte sagsøgeren Kommissionens generalsekretær, at fristen for at besvare den bekræftende begæring var udløbet dagen før, og at sagsøgeren ville anlægge annullationssøgsmål ved Retten, såfremt Kommissionen ikke havde truffet en udtrykkelig afgørelse senest den 7. september 2000.
The Court of First Instance held that it follows from Articles 1 and 6 of the CoE that a person whose employer is not the Commission or another Community institution but a legal person governed by the law of a Member State, which cannot be treated as an administrative agency of the institution in question, cannot be regarded as a servant of the Communities.
Ved kendelse af 13. juli 2001 traf Retten i henhold til procesreglementets artikel 68 af egen drift bestemmelse om, at der skulle indkaldes fire vidner, og at Rettens kasse skulle yde de nødvendige forskud i forbindelse med afhøringen af vidnerne.
The Court of First Instance found that Ms Simon's work in the Information and Coordination Bureau was performed on the basis of contracts of employment or contracts for services between her and the agencies and companies which successively managed that bureau, and that those contracts were governed by Luxembourg law and the provisions contained therein.
Han anførte, at han af faglige grunde ikke kunne give møde for Retten, men besvarede skriftligt de spørgsmål fra Retten, der var indeholdt i kendelsen af 13. juli 2001. Han anførte bl.a., at der var blevet udarbejdet referater af møderne i Udvalget af Kræftspecialister på Højt Plan.
The Court of First Instance came to the conclusion that during the periods between 1966 and 1993, and between 1 December 1994 and 25 October 1995, Ms Simon's successive employers had been the agencies and companies referred to in the previous paragraph and not the Commission.
Ved skrivelse af 7. september 2000 svarede Kommissionens generalsekretær, at for så vidt for det første angik de internationale, videnskabelige forskningsarbejder, sagsøgeren henviste til, og rapporterne fra Kommissionen vedrørende vurderingen af dem, var de pågældende arbejder blevet behandlet nærmere af de videnskabelige eksperter, som havde forberedt henstillingerne af 1996, på grundlag af hvilke Kommissionen efterfølgende udarbejdede direktivforslaget. Generaldirektøren understregede imidlertid, at det ikke var alle dokumenter vedrørende de pågældende arbejder, som var blevet tilstillet og nærmere behandlet af Udvalget af Kræftspecialister og Kommissionen. For så vidt i øvrigt angik begæringen om
In support of the single plea in law put forward by Ms Simon, alleging misuse of powers, Ms Simon submitted that the employment contracts which she had entered into since 15 May 1966 with the various companies and organisations which acted as supervisory agencies must be regarded as contracts of employment as a member of the temporary staff for the purposes of Article 1 of the CoE and, consequently, her administrative situation should be regularised from that date.
Samme dag tilstillede Kommissionen sagsøgeren referaterne af det 22. og 23. møde i Udvalget af Kræftspecialister.
After rejecting the argument that the Commission had required Ms Simon to be
I den skrivelse, der ledsagede de pågældende dokumenter,meddelteKommissionensagsøgeren, at den ville tilstille selskabet to andre dokumenter, så snart deres forfattere havde erklæret sig indforstået hermed.
— Admissibility of the amended version of the appeal employed, the Court of First Instance likewise rejected as irrelevant, in paragraph 44, the various factual arguments put forward by Ms Simon which were based on her alleged accountability to the Commission and the fact that her employment situation was the same as that of a member of the temporary staff.
Ved telefax af 6. juni 2002 har sagsøgeren indgivet en anmodning om foranstaltninger med henblik på sagens tilrettelæggelse, hvori Retten anmodes om at tage hensyn til nye faktiske omstændigheder.
The Court of First Instance therefore held that it followed from all those factors that Ms Simon was not entitled to retrospective recategorisation as a member of the temporary staff of the Communities and it thus rejected the claim for annulment of the contested decision.
Under retsmødet den 25. oktober 2001 fandt Retten herefter, at det var ufornødent at afhøre vidnerne.
On 10 July 2000, Ms Simon lodged an appeal against the judgment in question, which had been notified to her on 12 May 2000.
Retten fastsatte endvidere en frist på tre uger for fremsendelsen af nye dokumenter til sagsøgeren, ligesom parterne inden for den samme frist skulle tage stilling til, hvorledes sagen skulle fortsættes.
The second document, lodged at the Court Registry on 12 July 2000 by the appellant's legal counsel was, at the Registry's request, followed by an explanatory letter which was faxed to Registry on 13 July 2000.
Den 14. november 2001 og den 5. december 2001 tilstillede Kommissionen sagsøgeren yderligere dokumenter, nemlig:
The amended version of the application did not contain any reference to the date on which it was lodged with the Court.
Sagsøgeren tilpligtes at betale sagens omkostninger.
— annul the judgment under appeal and the contested decision;
Formaliteten en bibliografisk undersøgelse, der var udarbejdet i juli 1996 af »Health Promotion Wales« i henhold til en kontrakt med Kommissionen.
In so far as Ms Simon requests that the Court declare that the services provided by her must be regarded as having been 'performed under a contract between the Commission and a member of the temporary staff, it should be recalled that, according to Article 113(1) of the Rules of Procedure of the Court of Justice, an appeal may seek the same form of order, in whole or in part, as that sought at first instance and must not seek a different form of order.
Ved skrivelse af 10. december 2001 fremsendte sagsøgeren til Retten sine bemærkninger som følge af fremsendelsen af de pågældende dokumenter.
declare that the services provided by her between 15 May 1966 and 25 October 1995 are to be regarded as having been performed under a contract between the Commission and a member of the temporary staff.
Argumentet om, at Kommissionen ikke har meddelt afslag på at give aktindsigt i »dokumenter, der er omfattet af adfærdskodeksens anvendelsesområde«, således som vedtaget ved afgørelse 94/90, kan ikke ændre noget herved.
To allow Ms Simon to seek an order recategorising the services provided by her would be to allow her to introduce new pleas in law in contravention of the second indent of Article 113(1) of the Rules of Procedure.
Uanset om Kommissionen var forpligtet til at give aktindsigt i de pågældende dokumenter eller ej, står det fast, at der er tale om en negativ afgørelse, der kan være genstand for søgsmål.
Before the Court of First Instance, she merely submitted that the costs of the information and coordination activities carried out by the Bureau had been charged to the ECSC budget, as evidence that she had carried out permanent duties which came within the definition of Community public service.
Sagen skal herefter realitetsbehandling.
The application for the abovementioned form of order must therefore be rejected as manifestly inadmissible
Det må fastslås, at Kommissionen har tilstillet sagsøgeren listen over videnskabelige publikationer, som Kommissionen har konsulteret, en undersøgelse med titlen »Cancer, tobacco smoking and premature death in Europe«, der var udarbejdet af professor Boyle til brug for Udvalget af Kræftspecialister med henblik på konferencen i Helsinki, samt en bibliografisk undersøgelse, der var foretaget i juli 1996 af »Health Promotion Wales« i henhold til en kontrakt med Kommissionen, idet et eksemplar af den pågældende undersøgelse var sendt direkte til J. Ryan, der er afdelingsleder i Kommissionens Generaldirektorat »Sundhed og Forbrugerbeskyttelse«.
By the second part of her first plea, Ms Simon claims that the Court of First Instance failed to examine the plausibility of the explanations proffered by the Commission to justify its right to interfere in the performance of contracts concluded with the supervisory agencies.
I retsmødet den 5. marts 2002 har sagsøgeren bekræftet, at der ikke længere var problemer med hensyn til denne kategori af dokumenter.
In that context, she claims, in the first part of that plea, that the Court of First Instance did not examine the Commission's real aim.
Under sagens behandling har Kommissionen ved flere lejligheder tilstillet sagsøgeren forskellige dokumenter, hvilket har medført en ændring af sagen, således som den forelå, da den blev anlagt.
According to Article 225 EC and Article 51 of the EC Statute of the Court of Justice, an appeal is to be limited to points of law.
Retten finder, at der må tages stilling til, hvilken betydning fremsendelsen af disse dokumenter har i relation til de tre kategorier af dokumenter, der er omhandlet i begæringen om aktindsigt af 6. juni 2000.
The latter provision states that such an appeal must be based on grounds of lack of competence of the Court of First Instance, breach of procedure before it which adversely affects the interests of the appellant or infringement of Community law by that Court.
Retten finder herefter, at søgsmålet er blevet uden genstand for så vidt angår denne kategori af dokumenter, og at det er ufornødent at træffe afgørelse om dette spørgsmål.
It should be borne in mind in that respect that, pursuant to the first paragraph of Article 42(2) of the Rules of Procedure of the Court of Justice, no new plea in law may be introduced in the course of the proceedings unless it is based on matters of law or of fact which come to light in the course of the procedure.
De referater af møderne i Udvalget af Kræftspecialister, der vedrører en vurdering af de internationale, videnskabelige forskningsarbejder
The Court of Justice thus has no jurisdiction to establish the facts or, in principle, to examine the evidence which the Court of First Instance accepted in support of those facts.
Kommissionens rapporter, der vedrører vurderingen af de internationale, videnskabelige forskningsarbejder, og som er lagt til grund for direktivforslaget
To allow a party to put forward for the first time before the Court of Justice a plea in law which it has not raised before the Court of First Instance would be to allow it to bring before the Court, whose jurisdiction in appeals is limited, a case of wider ambit than that which came before the Court of First Instance.
Kommissionen præciserede i retsmødet den 5. marts 2002, at det dokument, der blev tilstillet sagsøgeren umiddelbart inden retsmødet, var blevet udarbejdet og fremsendt til Kommissionen af en konsulent, der arbejdede for Kommissionen, før udarbejdelsen af direktivforslaget. Dokumentet udgør det eneste dokument, der kan være omfattet af sagsøgerens begæring.
By contrast, the Court of First Instance has exclusive jurisdiction to find the facts, save where a substantive inaccuracy in its findings is attributable to the documents submitted to it, and to appraise those facts.
Det sagsøgende selskab har heroverfor anført, at det pågældende dokument ikke udgør og ikke indeholder Kommissionens vurdering af ovennævnte arbejder, således som omhandlet i begæringen om aktindsigt, men har samtidig indrømmet, at det ikke kan fremkomme med yderligere beviser til støtte for sin påstand om, at denne interne vurdering eksisterer.
Examination of the plausibility of the Commission's explanations forms part of the appraisal of the facts and is consequently not subject to review by the Court of Justice in appeal proceedings.
Det må herefter fastslås, at sagsøgeren er i besiddelse af alle relevante referater af møderne i Udvalget af Kræftspecialister, og at de pågældende mødereferater ikke indeholder en vurdering af de internationale, videnskabelige forskningsarbejder, således som omhandlet i begæringen om aktindsigt.
Although Ms Simon claimed that the Commission's conduct amounted to misuse of powers in her case such as to oblige it to accord to her, with retrospective effect, the status of a temporary servant, in the case before the Court of First Instance she did not challenge the lawfulness of the contracts between the Commission and the supervisory agencies on the ground that the Commission's aim in entering into those contracts was to provide for the financing of that Bureau, and to be in a position
Kommissionen må herefter frifindes for så vidt angår denne kategori af dokumenter.
The second part of the first plea in law must therefore also be rejected as inadmissible.
Vurderingen vedrører bl.a. det maksimale indhold af tjære og nikotin i cigaretter samt anvendelsen af betegnelserne »light« og »mild« for visse cigaretter og disse betegnelsers betydning for tobaksforbruget.
By her second plea in law, Ms Simon claims that the Court of First Instance did not assess the true nature of the relationship between herself and, first, the successive supervisory agencies and, second, the Commission and Community officials, or the nature of the work carried out by her.
De nye faktiske omstændigheder, sagsøgeren har fremført, omfatter to påståede uoverensstemmelser mellem de oplysninger, som Kommissionens befuldmægtigede gav i retsmødet den 5. marts 2002, og Kommissionens svar på sagsøgerens begæring om aktindsigt af 22. april 2002. Den ene vedrører tidspunktet for udarbejdelsen af det dokument, som Kommissionen udleverede til sagsøgeren umiddelbart inden ovennævnte retsmøde, mens den anden drejer sig om, hvem det pågældende dokument blev sendt til.
The Court of First Instance considered that matter, however, in paragraphs 43 and 44 of the judgment under appeal and correctly held that the appellant's argument is rebutted by the rule in Salerno (Joined Cases 87/77, 130/77, 22/83, 9/84 and 10/84 Salerno and Others ν Commission and Council [1985]).
Hertil bemærkes, at det må fastslås, at ingen af de pågældende faktiske omstændigheder kan antages at have afgørende betydning for tvistens løsning, som omhandlet i ovennævnte praksis.
That complaint, taken in its entirety, seeks to challenge the legal appraisal made by the Court
I henhold til procesreglementets artikel 87, stk. 2, dømmes den tabende part til at afholde sagens omkostninger, hvis der er nedlagt påstand herom.
Advocate General F.G. Jacobs delivered his Opinion at the sitting of the Sixth Chamber on 25 September 2001.
Kommissionen bør under disse omstændigheder ligeledes tilbagebetale Retten de forskud, Rettens kasse har ydet i forbindelse med, at Retten af egen drift indkaldte vidnerne.
(Decision 94/90/ECSC, EC, Euratom — Public access to Commission documents — Whether documents exist — No need to proceed to judgment — Costs caused unreasonably or vexatiously) (First Chamber)
»1) Kommissionen for De Europæiske Fællesskaber frifindes, for så vidt som søgsmålet vedrører den kategori af dokumenter, der omfatter de referater af møderne i Udvalget af Kræftspecialister, der vedrører en vurdering af de internationale, videnskabelige forskningsarbejder.
The applicant, British American Tobacco (Investments) Ltd, is a company established in the United Kingdom belonging to the British American Tobacco group, whose principal activity is the manufacture, distribution and sale of tobacco products.
Kommissionen bærer sine egne omkostninger og betaler sagsøgerens omkostninger, bortset fra omkostningerne i forbindelse med anmodningen om genåbning af den mundtlige forhandling.
The Director General also stressed that the 1996 recommendations had already been the subject of extensive preparatory discussions held under the auspices of the High-level Cancer Experts Committee, without the presence of Commission staff, but that, apart from the recommendations themselves, no official minutes had been adopted.
