Da appellanten ikke fik svar på sin bistandsansøgning, indgav hun den 21. januar 1998 en klage i henhold til vedtægtens artikel 90, stk. 2, over den stiltiende afvisning heraf.
By application lodged at the Court Registry on 9 February 2001, Ms Campogrande appealed under Article 49 of the Protocol on the Statute of the Court of Justice of the EC and the corresponding provisions under the ECSC and EAEC Statutes against the judgment of the Court of First Instance of the European Communities (Fourth Chamber) of 5 December 2000 in Case T-136/98 Campogrande ν Commission [2000] (hereinafter 'the judgment under appeal) in so far as the Court of First Instance held it to be unproven that she had been the victim of sexual harassment and dismissed her claim for compensation.
Retten konkluderede på dette grundlag, at Kommissionen havde tilsidesat vedtægtens artikel 24 samt Rådets resolution 90/C 157/02 af 29. maj 1990 om beskyttelse af kvinders og mænds værdighed på arbejdspladsen, og Kommissionens henstilling 92/131/EØFaf 27. november 1991 om beskyttelse af kvinders og mænds værdighed på arbejdspladsen, og annullerede af disse grunde den stiltiende afvisning af appellantens ansøgning om bistand.
As the appellant had not received a response to her request for assistance, she submitted, on 21 January 1998, a complaint under Article 90(2) of the Staff Regulations against the implied rejection of her request.
Efter denne klage foranstaltede generaldirektøren for Generaldirektoratet for »Personale og Administration« (GD IX) en administrativ undersøgelse vedrørende A. Denne erkendte at have foretaget den omstridte gestus, men gav dog en anden version af omstændighederne end A.M. Campograndes, og benægtede at have gjort sig skyldig i seksuel chikane.
Ms Campogrande is a Grade A 4 official of the Commission of the European Communities. At the time of the facts giving rise to the proceedings, she was assigned to Directorate Β 'Latin America' of the Directorate-General: 'External Relations: Southern Mediterranean, Middle East and Near East, Latin America, South and South-Asia and North-South Cooperation' of the Commission.
Retten fastslog endelig med hensyn til den af appellanten lidte ikkeøkonomiske skade på grund af den usikkerhed, som Kommissionen havde bragt hende i med hensyn til følgerne af hendes ansøgning om bistand og resultaterne af den administrative undersøgelse, at annullationen af den anfægtede afgørelse under hensyn til sagens omstændigheder i sig selv udgjorde en rimelig genoprettelse for denne skade.
Following that complaint, the Director-General of the Directorate-General 'Personal and Administration' (DG IX) conducted an inquiry into the allegations against Mr A. Although Mr A. admitted committing the act in question, he gave a version of the events that differed from that given by Ms Campogrande, and denied that he was guilty of sexual harassment.
Retten fastslog desuden, at appellanten ikke havde lidt ikke-økonomisk skade.
Furthermore, it appeared that the other persons who had attended the meeting on 27 February 1997 had no recollection of the incident and, moreover, had not heard about it.
Generaldirektøren for GD IX tilstillede dog appellanten den 29. oktober 1998 rapporten om undersøgelsen, som bl.a. konkluderede, at »intet gør det muligt med sikkerhed at fastslå, om den påklagede gestus er blevet foretaget af A med henblik på at nedværdige AM. Campogrande som kvinde«.
On 27 June 1997, after various informal steps, the appellant made a request for assistance to the Commission under Article 24 of the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Communities ('the Staff Regulations') which also amounted to a request within the meaning of Article 90(1) thereof.
Den anfægtede dom ophæves, for så vidt som Retten deri ikke tog hendes erstatningspåstand til følge.
The administrative inquiry was not followed by any express decision on the appellant's request for assistance and on her complaint.
På dette grundlag anlagde appellanten den 20. august 1998 inden at have modtaget undersøgelsesrapporten sag ved Retten med påstand om annullation af den stiltiende afvisning af hendes klage af 21. januar 1998, samt
Nevertheless, the Director- General of DG IX sent to the applicant on 29 October 1998 the report of that inquiry which concluded that 'there was no evidence to conclude with
Det fastslås, at appellanten har været genstand for seksuel chikane og har lidt ikke-økonomisk skade som følge heraf.

Første anbringende vedrørende tilsidesættelse af begrundelsespligten
recognise the existence of the act of sexual harassment of which she was a victim, and of the resulting non-material damage;
Appellanten har anført, at hendes ringere, om end kun forbigående bedømmelse beroede på den chikane, hun var blevet udsat for.
The first ground of appeal, alleging breach of the duty to state reasons
Som Kommissionen har anført, tilkom det Retten, uanset den graverende karakter af de faktiske omstændigheder, at vurdere, hvilken genoprettelse der ville være den mest rimelige for den herved forvoldte skade.
First, with regard to the lawfulness of the Commission's refusal to assist Ms Campogrande, the Court of First Instance held that, in the case before it, as the alleged sexual harassment was contested, the Commission was obliged to open an inquiry in order to establish the facts and, if necessary, to determine the appropriate compensation.
Appellanten har med den anden del af anbringendet anført, at den anfægtede doms begrundelse er modstridende, utilstrækkelig og fejlagtig med hensyn til den seksuelle chikane, som appellanten har været udsat for.
According to the first part of this ground of appeal, the judgment under appeal is flawed by a contradiction inasmuch as, by refusing to order the Commission to pay compensation to the appellant, the Court of First Instance did not draw all the inferences from the gravity, which it acknowledged in the grounds of the judgment under appeal, of the facts complained of against the Commission.
Det bemærkes, at Retten i den anfægtede doms præmis 68-70 sondrede mellem den ikkeøkonomiske skade, som appellanten blev forvoldt på grund af Kommissionens passivitet efter hendes klage, hvilken skade blev genoprettet ved annullationen af den anfægtede afgørelse, og den lidte ikkeøkonomiske skade, som appellanten har påberåbt sig, og som skulle bero på en seksuel chikane, for hvilken hun ikke har fremført noget bevis, en seksuel chikane, som i øvrigt intet havde at gøre med hændelsen den 27. februar 1997, som A ikke har bestridt.
Second, it held that the appellant's claim for an order that the Commission reconstitute her career exceeded the jurisdiction of a the Community courts, which could not issue directions to the institutions.
Med det første anbringendes sidste del har AM. Campogrande anført, at Rettens manglende stillingtagen til, om der forelå seksuel chikane, og til den administrative undersøgelses forløb indebærer en retsnægtelse, som er så meget mere alvorlig, som dette forhold vedrører det almindelige princip om overholdelse af retten til forsvar og beskyttelse af den berettigede forventning.
According to the second part of that ground of appeal, the reasoning of the judgment under appeal is contradictory, insufficient and erroneous as regards the sexual harassment of which the appellant was the victim.
Det fremgår imidlertid klart af den anfægtede doms præmis 70, at Retten ikke har antaget, at der forelå seksuel chikane, idet Retten betegner den adfærd, som appellanten har påklaget, som »rene venskabelige ytringer eller tilfælde«, samt,
It should be pointed out, however, that at paragraphs 68 to 70 of the judgment under appeal, the Court of First Instance distinguished between the non-material damage suffered by the appellant as a result of the Commission's inaction following her complaint, that damage being made good by the annulment of the contested decision, and the non-material damage pleaded by the appellant resulting from sexual
Den anden del af det første anbringende kan derfor heller ikke tiltrædes.
It found, furthermore, that the appellant had not suffered non-material damage.

harassment which she had failed to prove and which, moreover, was unrelated to the single incident on 27 February 1997, which Mr A. did not dispute.
Andet anbringende om tilsidesættelse af fællesskabsretlige bestemmelser og retspraksis vedrørende nye anbringender
By the final part of the first ground of appeal, Ms Campogrande argues that the failure by the Court of First Instance to deal with the question of the existence of the sexual harassment and of the way in which the administrative inquiry was conducted discloses a denial of justice which is particularly serious given that her complaints brought into issue the general principles of respect for the rights of defence and of the protection of legitimate expectations.
Det må fastslås, at Retten fastslog, at Kommissionen havde handlet culpøst ved at have bibragt appellanten en usikkerhed med hensyn til resultatet af hendes ansøgning om bistand, og at Kommissionen herved havde forvoldt AM. Campogrande en ikke-økonomisk skade.
Such reasoning is coherent and clear and responds exactly to the arguments put forward by Ms Campogrande.
Retten fastslog dog, at annullation af den anfægtede afgørelse i sig selv udgjorde en rimelig genoprettelse herfor.
It is thus apparent that the second part of the first ground of appeal is also unfounded.
Retten fastslog derimod med hensyn til omstændighederne vedrørende den seksuelle chikane, efter at have undersøgt appellantens påstande herom, at disse ikke var godtgjort, og forkastede hendes erstatningspåstand.
By the third part of the first ground of appeal, Ms Campogrande argues that there is a contradiction in the grounds of the judgment under appeal, disclosing a denial of justice, with regard to the use made by the Court of First Instance, by way of evidence, of an administrative inquiry which was criticised by it and the content of which was, moreover, disputed by the appellant.
Appellanten har med sit andet anbringende foreholdt Retten at have tilsidesat de fællesskabsretlige bestemmelser og Domstolens praksis vedrørende nye anbringender, idet Retten afviste hendes påstand om erstatning fra realitetsbehandling, som skulle genoprette den skade, hun havde lidt på grund af de repressalier, hun havde været udsat for efter indgivelsen af klagen, under henvisning til, at den nødvendige forudgående administrative procedure ikke havde fundet sted.
However, it is clear from paragraph 70 of the judgment under appeal, first, that the Court of First Instance did not find that there was sexual harassment, the behaviour complained of being characterised by it as 'no more than friendly remarks or mere coincidences' and, second, that amongst other things in the report relating to the inquiry criticised by Ms Campogrande, it accepted an account of the facts which she had drafted herself and which is annexed to the report.
Selv om Retten med føje fastslog, at Fællesskabets retsinstanser ikke er kompetente til at rette et påbud til Kommissionen, bemærkes, at Retten alene fastslog dette med henblik på at forkaste appellantens påstand om, at hendes karriere blev genoprettet, og ikke med henblik på at undlade at tage stilling til eksistensen af den skade, appellanten påstod at have lidt.
It is apparent, therefore, that the Court of First Instance did respond to the appellant's complaints, that it did so adequately and that accordingly the final part of the first ground of appeal is also unfounded.
Campograndes klare erstatningspåstand alene var baseret på den skade, som var forvoldt hende ved Kommissionens retsstridige afslag på at yde hende bistand.
The second ground of appeal, alleging infringement of the provisions of Community law and the caselaw relating to new pleas in law
Fjerde anbringende om tilsidesættelse af retten til forsvar
In the present case, it is clear from the documents before the Court that the Court of First Instance made use, without distorting it, of all the evidence available to it, evidence that, moreover, was consistent and was not effectively challenged by Ms Campogrande.
Hun har reelt fremført en ny erstatningspåstand, der er baseret på en ny skade, nemlig den skade, der var en følge af de repressalier, hun var udsat for i sin tjeneste efter indgivelsen af hendes klage.
The point here, she claims, is that the fall, albeit temporary, in her marks is linked to the harassment that she suffered.
Det bemærkes, at appellanten ikke med denne påstand har godtgjort, at undersøgelsen er blevet gennemført under tilsidesættelse af retten til forsvar.
In that part of the first ground of appeal, the appellant is challenging a finding by the Court of First Instance that is not open to review.
Appellanten har ikke fremført noget bevis for, at Retten alene har baseret sig på denne undersøgelse, eftersom appellanten under sagens behandling frit har kunnet udtrykke sig såvel i stævningen som i et senere indlæg, og AM.
As pointed above, pleas alleging erroneous findings of fact by the Court of First Instance are inadmissible. The fourth part of the first ground of appeal is consequently inadmissible.
Campograndes egne bemærkninger desuden, som det fremgår af nærværende doms præmis 28, figurerer blandt de forhold i undersøgelsen, der er indeholdt i den anfægtede dom.
Before the Court of First Instance, Ms Campogrande did not submit any additional pleas or arguments in support of that claim for compensation; in reality, she submitted a new claim for compensation based on a new head of damage, namely that resulting from the measures

It must be pointed out that the Court of First Instance held that the Commission had committed a fault, which consisted in leaving the appellant in an uncertain position as to the outcome of her request for assistance, and that that wrongful conduct had caused non-material damage to Ms Campogrande.

By that assertion alone, the appellant does not show that that inquiry was conducted in breach of the rights of the defence.

Case C-234/99 Niels Nygård v Svineafgiftsfonden Free movement of goods
Retten har hertil opstillet en analytisk tabel, der viser den direkte fordeling af tilskuddet mellem to grupper af aktiviteter, nemlig aktiviteter, der vedrører den nationale primærproduktion (40% af det samlede tilskud), og aktiviteter, der vedrører den nationale slagtning og videreforarbejdning samt afsætningen af derivater af primærproduktet på det danske marked og på eksportmarkederne (60% af det samlede tilskud).

Den forelæggende ret finder herefter, at den skal foretage den nødvendige bedømmelse af de faktiske omstændigheder i hovedsagen i lyset af de kriterier, der er opstillet i denne retspraksis.
Advocate General J. Mischo delivered his Opinion at the sitting of the Sixth Chamber on 10 May 2001.
Vestre Landsret har i sin forelæggelseskendelse anført, at den danske ordning med produktionsafgifter, navnlig produktionsafgiftsordningen i henhold til bekendtgørelse nr. 74, i medfør af traktatens artikel 93, stk. 3, blev anmeldt til Kommissionen, der godkendte ordningen som statsstøtte, der er forenelig med fællesmarkedet. Vestre Landsret har præciseret, at Kommissionen ved undersøgelsen af de aktiviteter, der bliver finansieret af afgifterne, bl.a. tog hensyn til, at kontrollen vedrørende kvalitet, vægt og klassifikation osv. er obligatorisk i henhold til EF-bestemmelser eller nationale bestemmelser, at forskningen er af interesse for hele sektoren, og at resultaterne meddeles de erhvervsdrivende i denne sektor.
Articles 9 and 12 of the EC Treaty (now, after amendment, Articles 23 EC and 25 EC), and Article 16 of the EC Treaty (revoked by the Treaty of Amsterdam) must be construed as meaning that the prohibition of charges having equivalent effect to a customs duty does not refer to a charge levied by a public body in respect of pigs produced in a Member State and sold for slaughter on the national market or for export live to other Member States, provided that the charge is identical and that the revenue generated by the levy is allocated to the activities not benefiting exclusively the marketing of pigs for the national market but also the marketing of pigs exported live to other Member States.
Skal EF-traktatens artikel 9 (efter ændring nu artikel 23 EF), 12 (efter ændring nu artikel 25 EF) og 16 (ophævet ved Amsterdam-traktaten) eller EF-traktatens artikel 95 (efter ændring nu artikel 90 EF) fortolkes således, at disse bestemmelser, henholdsvis denne bestemmelse, er til hinder for, at et offentligretligt organ i en medlemsstat opkræver en produktionsafgift for svin, der er produceret i den pågældende
Any charge levied on pigs produced in one Member State and sold for slaughter on the national market or for export live to other Member States is covered by the prohibition on discrimination laid down in Article 95 of the EC Treaty (now, after amendment, Article 90 EC), where the allocation of the revenue generated by the charge means that the burden of the charge weighs more heavily on the marketing of pigs exported live to other Member States than on the marketing of pigs sold for slaughter in the Member State concerned.
Den forelæggende ret har ligeledes anført, at Fonden, der er en del af den offentlige forvaltning, har til formål at styrke svinekødssektorens udviklingsmuligheder og konkurrenceevne ved inden for denne sektor at finansiere de foranstaltninger, der er nævnt i bemyndigelseslovens § 7, stk. 1.
However, where a national court considers that any of those prohibitions applies to a charge that has been so authorised, it is for that court to make a reference to the Court of Justice using the procedure in Article 177 of the EC Treaty (now Article 234 EC) for the latter to rule on the merits of such applicability.'
Såfremt spørgsmål 1 besvares bekræftende, ønskes oplyst, om det gør nogen forskel for besvarelsen, at afgiftsordningen i medfør af EF-traktatens artikel 93, stk. 3 (efter ændring nu artikel 88, stk. 3, EF), er notificeret til og godkendt af EU-Kommissionen som lovlig statsstøtte?«

Det første spørgsmål
Not available.
Det er ligeledes ubestridt, at disse ordninger med produktionsafgifter har samme lov som hjemmel, nemlig bemyndigelsesloven, og hver inden for sin sektor anvendes til at finansiere specifikke fonde, hvis midler uddeles til formål, der vedrører produktionen og markedsføringen af danske landbrugsprodukter.
'It is not contrary to Article 13 of Council Directive 85/374/EEC of 25 July 1985 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning liability for defective products for the rights conferred on consumers by the legislation of the Member State to be limited or restricted as a result of the transposition of the directive into national law.'
Hvad for det andet angår kravet om identitet mellem kriterierne for opkrævning af afgiften har Niels Nygård anført, at den i hovedsagen omhandlede afgiftsordning bygger på en fiktiv identitet mellem to forskellige transaktioner, nemlig leveringen af svin til slagtning på hjemmemarkedet og eksporten af levende svin.
'a) declare that the French Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under Articles 3(3), 7 and 9 of Directive 85/374/EEC of 25 July 1985 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning liability for defective products; b) order the French Republic to pay the costs in accordance with Article 69(2) of Rules of Procedure.'
producenten, mens den i det andet tilfælde påhviler eksportøren, uafhængigt af om denne tillige er producenten.
Case C-154/00 Commission of the European Communities ν Hellenic Republic Approximation of laws
Det må tilsvarende fastslås, at den udløsende omstændighed for den i hovedsagen omhandlede afgift består i svinenes udskillelse fra den indenlandske svinebestand, og at den nævnte afgift pålægges svin, der er beregnet til slagtning i Danmark eller til eksport i levende live.
(Failure of a Member State to fulfil its obligations — Directive 85/374/EEC — Liability for defective products — Incorrect transposition) (Fifth Chamber)
Ligeledes er det forhold, at afgiften ved levering til slagtning i Danmark påhviler producenten, mens den i tilfælde af eksport påhviler eksportøren, uanset om denne er producenten, ikke tilstrækkeligt til, at det kan konkluderes, at den i det andet tilfælde rammer den eksporterede vare, fordi den overskrider grænsen.
'a) declare that the Hellenic Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under Council Directive 85/374/EEC of 25 July 1985 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning liability for defective products.

de pålægges en afgift som den i hovedsagen omhandlede, for en dobbelt afgiftspålæggeise. Han har i denne forbindelse understreget, at de levende svin, der eksporteres til Tyskland og overgår til primærproduktion i denne medlemsstat, i praksis i henhold til den tyske lov om fonden til fremme af afsætningen bliver betragtet som svin, der er opdrættet i Tyskland, således at de ved en senere slagtning pålægges en afgift, der svarer til den danske afgift, der pålægges svin, der er beregnet til slagtning i Danmark.
