Hvis dette er tilfældet, undersøges foranstaltningen i princippet alene i forhold til den ene af disse to grundlæggende friheder. I det foreliggende tilfælde fandt Domstolen, at den omtvistede godkendelsesordning overvejende påvirker den frie udveksling af tjenesteydelser, idet kravet om fast etablering reelt er udtryk for en ophævelse af denne ret.
In this connection, the Court stated with regard to the waiting lists envisaged under the NHS that, where the delay arising from such waiting lists appears to exceed in the individual case concerned a medically acceptable period, the competent institution may not refuse authorisation on the basis of the existence of those waiting lists, an alleged distortion of the normal order of priority of the cases to be treated, the fact that treatment under the national system is free of charge, the duty to make available specic funds to reimburse the cost of treatment provided in another Member State and/or a comparison between the cost of that treatment and that of equivalent treatment in the competent Member State.
Derimod er de eventuelle restriktive virkninger af en sådan ordning for de frie kapitalbevægelser kun en uundgåelig konsekvens af hindringen for den frie udveksling af tjenesteydelser.
Finally, where treatment cannot be supplied within a medically acceptable period, the national authorities must provide mechanisms for the reimbursement of the cost of hospital treatment in another Member State.
På området for social sikring skal opmærksomheden henledes på tre domme om fortolkningen af forordning nr. 1408/71 om anvendelse af de sociale sikringsordninger på arbejdstagere og deres familiemedlemmer, der flytter inden for Fællesskabet, som ændret 15.
Second, the Court held in Case C-466/04 Acereda Herrera (judgment of 15 June 2006, not yet published in the ECR), with regard to the reimbursement of certain costs incurred by a person insured under the social security system of a Member State when receiving, in another Member State, hospital treatment authorised in advance by the insurance institution, that Article 22(1)(c) and (2) and Article 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, as amended, do not confer on the insured person the right to be reimbursed by that institution for the costs of travel, accommodation and subsistence which he and any person accompanying him have incurred in the territory of that other Member State, with the exception of the costs of accommodation and meals in hospital for the insured person himself.
For det første skal, inden for den sammenhæng, der undertiden kaldes »patienternes frie bevægelighed«, den vigtige dom i Watts-sagen (sag C-372/04, Sml. I, s. 4325) omtales.
The Court pointed out that the term ‘cash benets’ in Article 22(1)(c) of the regulation covers the cost of medical services strictly dened and the inextricably linked costs relating to the stay and meals in the hospital, and excludes reimbursement by the competent institution of ancillary costs such as the costs of travel, accommodation and subsistence which the insured person and any person accompanying him have incurred in the territory of that other Member State.
Domstolen tilføjede, at fastsættelsen af ventetiderne desuden skal være fleksibel og dynamisk, så fristen kan tages op til fornyet overvejelse ved en eventuel forværrelse af helbredstilstanden.
In Case C-503/03 Commission v Spain [2006] ECR I-1097, which was an action for failure to full obligations brought by the Commission against Spain because of the practice of that Member State’s authorities of refusing entry onto its territory or issue of a visa to nationals of a third country married to a Member State national on the sole ground that they were persons for whom alerts were entered in the Schengen Information System (SIS), the Court explained the relationship between the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement (‘the CISA’) and Community law on freedom of movement for persons.
Hvad angår den frie udveksling af tjenesteydelser fastslog Domstolen, at artikel 49 EF finder anvendelse i en situation, hvor en person, hvis helbredstilstand kræver hospitalsbehandling, rejser til en anden medlemsstat og dér modtager den pågældende behandling mod vederlag, uafhængigt af den måde, hvorpå det nationale system, som patienten er omfattet af, fungerer, og til hvilket patienten efterfølgende har indgivet sin anmodning om refusion.
It also ruled on how Member States are expected to act in applying the SIS. On the first point, the Court held that the compliance of an administrative practice with the provisions of the CISA may justify the conduct of the competent national authorities only insofar as the application of the relevant provisions is compatible with the Community rules governing freedom of movement for persons.
Den fastslog endvidere, at et nationalt system som NHS, hvorefter hospitalsbehandling i en anden medlemsstat på systemets bekostning er betinget af en forhåndstilladelse, mens de vederlagsfrie ydelser, der stilles til rådighed af dette system, derimod ikke afhænger af en sådan tilladelse, udgør en hindring for den frie udveksling af tjenesteydelser.
It thus stated that it is consistent with the CISA for Member States automatically to refuse entry or a visa to an alien for whom a Schengen alert has been issued for the purposes of refusing him entry.
Denne restriktion kan ganske vist begrundes i tvingende hensyn til planlægningen, der er egnede til at sikre en tilstrækkelig og vedvarende adgang til et afbalanceret udbud af hospitalsbehandlinger af god kvalitet, sikre styring af omkostninger og undgå ethvert spild af økonomiske, tekniske og menneskelige ressourcer.
However, insofar as this automatic refusal provided for by the CISA does not distinguish as to whether or not the alien concerned is married to a Member State national, it is also necessary to verify whether, in the circumstances of the case, that automatic refusal is compatible with the rules governing freedom of movement for persons, in particular with Directive 64/221/EEC 16.
Domstolen bemærkede, at det dog er nødvendigt, at de betingelser, der fastsættes for meddelelse af en sådan tilladelse, er begrundet i de pågældende tvingende hensyn, og at de opfylder kravet om forholdsmæssighed.
More specically, the Court stated that the inclusion of an entry in the SIS does indeed constitute evidence that there is a reason to justify refusal of entry into the Schengen Area.
Domstolen konkluderede i denne henseende, at de nationale myndigheder, hvis behandlingen ikke kan tilbydes inden for en medicinsk rimelig frist, skal fastsætte mekanismer for refusion af udgifter til hospitalsbehandling af patienter i en anden medlemsstat.
The Court added with regard to that verication that the State consulting the SIS must give due consideration to the information provided by the State which issued the alert and the latter must make supplementary information available to the consulting State to enable it to gauge, in the specic case, the gravity of the threat that the person for whom an alert has been issued is likely to represent.
For det andet fastslog Domstolen i Acereda Herrera-sagen (dom af 15.6.2006, sag C-466/04, endnu ikke trykt i Samling af Afgørelser) vedrørende godtgørelse af visse udgifter afholdt af en person, der er forsikret i en medlemsstats sociale sikringssystem, i anledning af en hospitalsbehandling modtaget i en anden medlemsstat med forudgående samtykke fra sygeforsikringsinstitutionen, at artikel 22, stk. 1, litra c), og artikel 22, stk. 2, samt artikel 36 i forordning nr. 1408/71, som ændret, ikke giver den forsikrede person krav på, at institutionen refunderer rejse-, opholds- og forplejningsudgifter, som den forsikrede og dennes ledsager har afholdt på den pågældende medlemsstats område, bortset fra udgifter til den forsikredes ophold og forplejning på hospitalet.
In Case C-241/05 Bot (judgment of 3 October 2006, not yet published in the ECR) the Court, in response to a question referred for a preliminary ruling by the Conseil d’État (France), interpreted Article 20(1) of the CISA 17, which provides that aliens not subject to a visa requirement may move freely within the territories of the Contracting Parties for a maximum period of three months during the six months following the date of first entry,
I denne henseende henviste Domstolen til, at begrebet »kontantydelse« i forordningens artikel 22, stk. 1, litra c), således omfatter udgifter til egentlige lægelige ydelser og udgifter, der er uadskilleligt forbundet med vedkommendes behandlingsbehov og forplejning under opholdet på hospitalet, og at det udelukker, at den kompetente institution godtgør yderligere udgifter som rejse-, opholds- og forplejningsudgifter, som den forsikrede og dennes ledsager har afholdt på den pågældende medlemsstats område.
Council Directive 64/221/EEC of 25 February 1964 on the coordination of special measures concerning the movement and residence of foreign nationals which are justied on grounds of public policy, public security or public health (OJ, English Special Edition 1963–1964, p. 117).
Dog er artikel 39 EF til hinder for, at pensionsbeløb, som modtages fra institutioner i en anden medlemsstat, tages i betragtning, hvis der allerede er betalt bidrag i denne anden medlemsstat af erhvervsmæssig indkomst oppebåret i sidstnævnte medlemsstat. Det påhviler den berørte part at godtgøre, at disse tidligere bidragsbetalinger faktisk er blevet foretaget.
Proceedings provided that they full the entry conditions referred to in Article 5(1)(a), (c), (d) and (e) of that Convention.
Foranlediget af, at Kommissionen havde anlagt et traktatbrudssøgsmål mod Kongeriget Spanien på grund af en praksis, som fulgtes af denne medlemsstats myndigheder, og som bestod i at nægte tredjelandsstatsborgere, der er ægtefæller til en statsborger i en medlemsstat, indrejse og visum, alene fordi de er indberettet i Schengen-informations-systemet (SIS), præciserede Domstolen i sagen Kommissionen mod Spanien (dom af 31.1.2006, sag C-503/03, Sml.
The Court held that Article 20(1) of the CISA is to be interpreted as meaning that the term ‘rst entry’ in that provision refers, besides the very first entry into the territories of the Contracting States to the Schengen Agreement, to the first entry into those territories taking place after the expiry of a period of six months from that very first entry and also to any other first entry taking place after the expiry of any new period of six months following an earlier date of first entry.
I, s. 1097) forholdet mellem konventionen om gennemførelse af Schengen-aftalen (herefter »gennemførelseskonventionen«) og den fællesskabsretlige frie bevægelighed for personer. Domstolen udtalte sig desuden om den adfærd, der forventedes af medlemsstaterne i forbindelse med gennemførelsen af SIS.
In Case C-540/03 Parliament v Council (judgment of 27 June 2006, not yet published in the ECR), the Court dismissed an action for annulment brought by the European Parliament challenging the final subparagraph of Article 4(1), Article 4(6) and Article 8 of Directive 2003/86 on family reunication 18.
Med hensyn til det førstnævnte punkt fastslog Domstolen, at den omstændighed, at en administrativ praksis er i overensstemmelse med bestemmelserne i gennemførelseskonventionen, kun gør det muligt at begrunde de kompetente nationale myndigheders handlinger, for så vidt som anvendelsen af de pågældende bestemmelser er forenelig med fællesskabsbestemmelserne om den frie bevægelighed for personer.
The Court held, contrary to the European Parliament’s assertions, that those provisions — which state that the Member States are to authorise the entry and residence, pursuant to the directive, of, in particular, the minor children, including adopted children, of the sponsor and his or her spouse, and those of the sponsor or of the sponsor’s spouse where that parent has custody of the children and they are dependent on him or her, and that Member States may require the sponsor to have stayed lawfully in their territory for a period not exceeding two years, before having his/her family members join him/her — respect fundamental rights as recognised in the Community legal order.
Således fastslog den, at det er i overensstemmelse med gennemførelseskonventionen, at medlemsstaterne automatisk nægter en udlænding, der er indberettet som uønsket i Schengeninformationssystemet, indrejse og visum.
In order to reach that conclusion, the Court compared the contested provisions with the right to respect for family life as laid down in Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, with the Convention on the Rights of the Child and with the Charter of Fundamental Rights solemnly proclaimed in Nice in 2000 19, while pointing out that those instruments do not create for the members of a family an individual right to be allowed to enter the territory of a State and cannot be interpreted as denying Member States a certain margin of appreciation when they examine applications for family reunication.
For så vidt som den nægtelse, der er fastsat i gennemførelseskonventionen, indtræder automatisk, uanset om vedkommende udlænding er ægtefælle til en statsborger i en medlemsstat eller ej, skal det imidlertid yderligere undersøges, om den under de konkrete omstændigheder er forenelig med fællesskabsbestemmelserne om fri bevægelighed for personer og navnlig med direktiv 64/221 16.
The Court rejected the various arguments relied upon by the European Parliament, taking care to establish that, given the manner in which they are laid down, the derogations permitted by the contested provisions cannot be regarded as running counter to the fundamental right to respect for family life, to the obligation to have regard to the best interests of children or to the principle of non-discrimination on grounds of age, either in themselves or in that they expressly or impliedly authorise the Member States to act in such a way.
Domstolen fandt nærmere bestemt, at indberetningen i SIS ganske vist er et indicium for, at der er et forhold, som begrunder, at indrejse i Schengen-området nægtes.
In the following presentation of the caselaw on competition, a distinction will be drawn between the rules applicable to undertakings and the system of State aid.
Domstolen tilføjede, at i forbindelse med denne undersøgelse skal den stat, der konsulterer SIS, tage behørigt hensyn til de oplysninger, der er afgivet af den indberettende stat, som ligeledes
Council Directive 2003/86/EC of 22 September 2003 on the right to family reunication (OJ L 251, 3.10.2003, p. 12).
Domstolen fastslog, at artikel 20, stk. 1, i gennemførelseskonventionen skal fortolkes således, at begrebet »første indrejse« i denne bestemmelse ud over den allerførste indrejse i de medlemsstaters områder, der har tiltrådt Schengen-aftalen, omfatter den første indrejse i disse områder, som foretages efter udløbet af en seksmånedersperiode, regnet fra denne allerførste indrejse, såvel som enhver anden efterfølgende første indrejse, der foretages efter udløbet af enhver ny seksmånedersperiode, regnet fra en foregående dato for første indrejse.
In Case C-205/03 P FENIN v Commission (judgment of 11 July 2006, not yet published in the ECR), the Court, after recalling that ‘undertaking’covers, in the context of Community competition law, any entity engaged in an economic activity, regardless of the legal status of that entity and the way in which it is financed, stated that, in that regard, it is the activity consisting in oering goods and services on a given market that is the characteristic feature of an economic activity, so that, for the purposes of assessing the nature of such an activity, there is no need to dissociate the activity of purchasing goods from the subsequent use to which they are put and that the nature of the purchasing activity must be determined according to the subsequent use of the purchased goods.
I sagen Parlamentet mod Rådet (dom af 27.6.2006, sag C-540/03, Sml.
In three other judgments, the Court rearmed, and dened in greater detail, a number of elements of the denition of an agreement restrictive of competition within the meaning of Article 81 EC.
I, s. 5769) frifandt Domstolen Rådet i en sag anlagt af Europa-Parlamentet med henblik på annullation af artikel 4, stk. 1, sidste afsnit, artikel 4, stk. 6, og artikel 8 i direktiv 2003/86 om familiesammenføring 18.
In Case C-551/03 General Motors [2006] ECR I-3173, an appeal by the eponymous car manufacturer against the judgment of the Court of First Instance in Case T-368/00 General Motors Nederland and Opel Nederland v Commission [2003] ECR II-4491, the Court observed that an agreement may be regarded as having a restrictive object even if it does not have the restriction of competition as its sole aim but also pursues other legitimate objectives, and that for the purpose of determining whether it pursues an object of that type account must be taken not only of the terms of the agreement but also of other factors, such as the aims pursued by the agreement as such, in the light of the economic and legal context.
Domstolen fastslog, i modsætning til, hvad Europa-Parlamentet havde gjort gældende, at disse bestemmelser, hvori det er fastsat, at medlemsstaterne i henhold til direktivet skal tillade indrejse og ophold for bl.a. mindreårige børn af referencepersonen og dennes ægtefælle, herunder børn, der er adopteret, samt mindreårige børn, herunder adoptivbørn, af referencepersonen eller ægtefællen, hvis referencepersonen eller ægtefællen har forældremyndigheden og har forsørgerpligt over for børnene, henholdsvis at medlemsstaterne kan kræve, at referencepersonen mindst har haft ophold på deres område i en periode, der dog ikke må overstige to år, inden familiesammenføring kan finde sted, respekterer de grundlæggende rettigheder, der anerkendes i Fællesskabets retsorden.
It thus held that an agreement concerning distribution has a restrictive object for the purposes of Article 81 EC if it clearly manifests the will to treat export sales less favourably than national sales and thus leads to a partitioning of the market in question, and pointed out that such an objective can be achieved not only by direct restrictions on exports but also through indirect measures, such as the implementation by a supplier of motor vehicles, in the context of dealer agreements, of a measure excluding export sales from the system of bonuses paid to dealers, since they inuence the economic conditions of such transactions. The Court also recalled that, while proof that the parties to an agreement intended to restrict competition is not a necessary factor in determining whether an agreement has such a restriction as its object, there is nothing to prohibit the Commission or the Community Courts from taking that intention into account.
For at nå denne konklusion sammenholdt Domstolen de anfægtede bestemmelser med retten til respekt for familielivet, som er fastsat i artikel 8 i den europæiske menneskerettighedskonvention, med konventionen om barnets rettigheder og med charteret om grundlæggende rettigheder, som blev højtideligt proklameret i Nice i 2000 19, og bemærkede, at disse tekster ikke stifter en individuel ret for familiemedlemmer til indrejse på en stats område og ikke kan fortolkes således, at de afskærer staterne fra en vis skønsmargen, når de behandler ansøgninger om
Last, the Court also held, in accordance with consistent case-law, that in order to determine whether an agreement is to be considered to be prohibited by reason of the distortion of competition which is its eect, the competition in question should be assessed within the actual context in which it would occur in the absence of the agreement in dispute and that, accordingly, in a situation such as that involving the implementation by a supplier of motor vehicles, in the context of dealer agreements, of a measure excluding export sales from the system of bonuses paid to dealers, it is necessary to examine what the conduct of those dealers and the competitive situation on the market in question would have been if export sales had not been excluded from the bonus policy.
Konvention om gennemførelse af Schengen-aftalen af 14.6.1985 mellem regeringerne for staterne i Den Økonomiske Union Benelux, Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland og Den Franske Republik om gradvis ophævelse af kontrollen ved de fælles grænser (EFT 2000 L 239,s p. 19).
In Case C-74/04 P Commission v Volkswagen (judgment of 13 July 2006, not yet published in the ECR), an appeal by the Commission against the judgment of the Court of First Instance in Case T-208/01 Volkswagen v Commission [2003] ECR II-5141, the Court held, moreover, that in order to constitute an agreement within the meaning of Article 81(1) EC, it is sucient that an act or conduct which is apparently unilateral be the expression of the concurrence of wills of at least two
Udviklingen og arbejdet familiesammenføring.
Proceedings parties and that the form in which that concurrence is expressed is not by itself decisive.
Domstolen forkastede de argumenter, som Europa-Parlamentet havde gjort gældende, idet den fastslog, at de undtagelser, der er fastsat i de anfægtede bestemmelser, ikke kan anses for at være i strid med den grundlæggende ret til respekt for familielivet, med forpligtelsen til at tage hensyn til barnets tarv eller med princippet om forbud mod forskelsbehandling på grund af alder, hverken i sig selv eller fordi de udtrykkeligt eller stiltiende giver medlemsstaterne adgang til at handle således.
It stated, more specically, in that regard that while a call by a motor vehicle manufacturer to its authorised dealers does not constitute a unilateral act but an agreement within the meaning of Article 81(1) EC, provided that it forms part of a set of continuous business relations governed by a general agreement drawn up in advance, that does not, however, imply that any call by a motor vehicle manufacturer to dealers constitutes an agreement within the meaning of Article 81(1) EC and does not relieve the Commission of its obligation to prove that there was a concurrence of wills on the part of the parties to the dealership agreement in each specic case.
Ved præsentation af retspraksis på dette område foretager man en sondring mellem på den ene side de bestemmelser, der finder anvendelse på virksomheder, og på den anden side reglerne for statsstøtte.
According to the Court, such a will on the part of the parties may result from both the clauses of the dealership agreement in question and from the conduct of the parties, and in particular from the possibility of there being tacit acquiescence by the dealers in the measure adopted by the vehicle manufacturer.
For så vidt angår førstnævnte foreligger der 13 domme af særlig interesse. Den første dom, hvorpå opmærksomheden skal henledes, supplerer definitionen af virksomhedsbegrebet, som er bestemmende for konkurrencereglernes anvendelsesområde.
In another area, in Case C-519/04 P Meca-Medina and Majcen v Commission (judgment of 18 July 2006, not yet published in the ECR), the Court held, last, after emphasising that the mere fact that a rule is purely sporting in nature does not have the eect of removing from the scope of the Treaty, and in particular from the scope of the competition rules, a person engaging in the activity governed by that rule or the body which has laid it down, that, while anti-doping rules may be regarded as a decision of an association of undertakings limiting the freedom of action of the persons to whom they are addressed, they do not, for all that, necessarily constitute a restriction of competition incompatible with the common market, within the meaning of Article 81 EC, since they are justied by a legitimate objective.
I sagen FENIN mod Kommissionen (dom af 11.7.2006, sag C-205/03 P, Sml.
According to the Court, such a limitation is inherent in the organisation and proper conduct of competitive sport and its very purpose is to ensure healthy rivalry between athletes.
