Efter at de pägreldende virksomhederhavde anlagt sag, havde Retten nedsat det samlede bsdebelsb lidt.
The Court of Justice stated in answer to the national court thatwhen it rules on an agreement or practice whose compatibility with Article 85(1)and Article 86 of the Treaty is already the subject of a Commission decision itcannot take a decision running counter to that of the Commission, even if thelatter's decisionconflicts with the decision given by a national court of firstinstance.
Der blev ivrerksatappel til Domstolen i ti sager, hvorunder der blev nedlagtpästand om annullation eller nedsrettelse af de af Retten fastsatte bsder.Domstolen forkastede i fem af sagerne appellen ved domme af 16. november2000, Enso Espafiol, (sag C-282198P), Mo och Dom^s7ö (sag C-283l98 P),Medsä-Serla Sales (sag C-298198P), Mersä-Serlam.fl. (sag C-294198P) og SC A Holding (sag C-297 198 P).

In addition, where the national court has doubts as to thevalidity or interpretation of an act of a Community institution it may, or must, inaccordance with the second and third paragraphsof Article 177 of the Treaty,refer a question to the Court of Justice for a preliminary ruling.
Domstolen fastslog, at appellanterneikke kunne gsres ansvarlige for overtrredelser, som selskaber, de havdeovertaget, havde begäet forud for overtagelsen.I sagerneKoninkliike KNP BT(C-248198 P), Moritz J. Weig (sag C-280/98 P) og Sarrid (sagC-291l98 P)nedsatte Domstolen bsden.
If, as here, theaddressee of a Commission decision has, within the prescribed period, broughtan action for annulment of that decision, it is for the national court to decidewhether to stay proceedings until a definitive decision has been given in the actionfor annulment or in order to refer a question to the Court for a preliminaryruling.
I den fsrste sag blev bsden nedsat med 100 000EUR som folge af, at Retten ikke havde taget stilling til sagsogerens argumentom, at selskabet fsrst burde bere ansvaretfor sin filials retsstridige adfard fraerhvervelsen. I den anden sag nedsatte Domstolen bsden med 600 000 EUR,da den fandt, at Retten havde tilsidesat ligebehandlingsprincippet ved ikke atanvende samme beregningsmetode ved bsdeudmälingen, som den anvendte vedfastsrettelsen af den bsde, der blev pälagt de andre virksomheder, som havdesamarbejdet med Kommissionen.
When the outcome of the dispute before the national court dependson thevalidity of the Commission decision, it follows from the obligation of sincerecooperation that the national court should, in order to avoid reachinga decisionthat runs counter to that of the Commission, stay its proceedings pending finaljudgment in the action for annulment by the Community Courts, unless itconsiders that, in the circumstances of the case, a reference to the Court of Justicefor a preliminary ruling on the validity of the Commission decision is warranted.

In Joined Cases C-147197 and C-148197 Deutsche Post (udgment of 10 February2000), the Court ruled that, in the absence of an agreement between the postalservicesof the Member States concerned fixing terminal dues in relation to theactual costs of processing and delivering incoming trans-bordermail, it is notcontrary to Article 90 of the Treaty, read in conjunction with Articles 59 and 86of the Treaty, for a body such as Deutsche Post to exercise the right provided forby the Universal Postal Convention, in the version adopted on14 December 1989, to charge internal postage on items of mail posted in largequantities with the postal services of a Member State other than the Member Stateto which that body belongs.
Rettens dom blev appelleret til Domstolen,som stadfrestede Rettens dom undtagen med hensyn til de pälagte bsder.Domstolen fastslo5, at Retten havde begäet en retlig fejl ved at fastslä, at Kommissionen var berettiget til at pälegge linjekonferencens medlemmerindividuelle bsder, der var udmält pä grundlag af en vurdering af deresdeltagelse i den omhandledeadfrrd, selv om meddelelsen af klagepunkter kunvar stilettil linjekonferencen.
If that body were obliged to forward and deliver toaddressees residentin Germany mail posted in large quantities by senders residentin Germany using postal services of other Member States,without any provisionallowing it to be financially compensatedfor all the costs occasionedby thatobligation, the performance,in economically balanced conditions, of the task ofgeneral interest entrusted to it would be jeopardised.

Heraffolger, at Kommissionen er forpligtet til i meddelelsen af klagepunkter klartat angive,hvilke personer der vil kunne blive pälagt en bsde.
On the other hand, theexercise of such a right is contrary to Article 90(1) of the Treaty, read inconjunction with Article 86, in so far as the result is that such a body maydemand the entire internal postage applicable in the Member State to which itbelongs without deductingthe terminal dues corresponding to those items of mailpaid by the postal services of other Member States.
Med hensyn til den fsrste problematik afsagde Domstolen den 14. december2000 en vigtig, principiel dom i Masterfoads-sagen (sag C-344198, endnu ikketrykt i Samling af Afgorelser). I denne sag havde den irske High Court i fsrsteinstans truffet en afgorelse, der pälagde en isproducent,Masterfoods, atoverholde en eksklusivitetsklausul i aftaler om tilrädighedsstillelse af frysereindgäet i Irland mellem en konkurrent, HB, og detailhandlerne.
However, Article 34 of the Treatyprecludes a system for the collection and receipt of non-hazardous building wastedestinedfor recovery, under which a limited number of undertakings areauthorised to process the waste produced in a municipality, if that systemconstitutes, in law or in fact, an obstacleto exports in that it does not allowproducers of waste to export it, in particular through intermediaries.
Samtidig medsagen for den nationale ret var der indgivet en klage til Kommissionen, somtraf en afgorelse, der var i strid med High Court's afgorelse. lfolge Kommissionen var eksklusivitetsklausulenistrid med traktatens artikel 85, stk.1, og HB's tilskyndelseaf detailhandlerne til at indgä fryseraftalermed ensädan klausul udgjorde en overtrredelse af traktatens artikel 86.

In Joined CasesC-180/98 to C-184/98 Pavlov and Others (udgment of 12September 2000), the Court again ruled on whether compulsory affiliation topension funds in the Netherlands is compatible with the competition rules. In three judgments of 21 September 1999 (in Case C-67196Albany [1999] ECRI-5751, Joined Cases C-115197C,-116197and C-II7l97 Brentjens'Il999lECR ECR

I-6025 and Case C-219197Drijvende Bokken lI999l ECR I-6I2L), the Court hadalready held that the competition rules did not preclude the public authorities from deciding to make affiliation to a sectoral pension fund compulsory at the requestof organisations representing employers and workers in a given sector or from granting such a fund the exclusive right to managea supplementary pensionscheme in a given sector.
I denne forbindelse er den omstrendighed, at Rettenspresident har udsat gennemforelsen af Kommissionens beslutning udenbetydning.

The Court stated that, unlike theagreements concluded in the context of collective bargaining between employersand employees and aimed at improving employment conditions which were atissue in Albany, Brentjens'and Drijvende Bokken, cited above, an agreementbetweenall the members of a profession could not be excluded,by reasonof itsnature and purpose, from the scope of Article 85(1) of the Treaty.

That being so, adecision by the members of a profession to set up an occupational pension fundentrusted.with the management of a supplementary pension scheme and to requestthe public authorities to make membership of that fund compulsory is not contraryto Article S5(1)of the Treaty, and Articles 5 and 85 of the Treaty cannot precludepublic authorities from making membership of that fund compulsory.

As to the remainder, the Court, referring to its judgments in Albany, Brentiens'and Drijvende Bokken, held that a pension fund which itself determinesthe amount ofcontributions and benefits and operates on the basis of the principle ofcapitalisation, which has been made responsible for managinga supplementarypension scheme set up by a profession's representative body and membership of which has been made compulsory by the public authorities for all members of thatprofession, is an undertaking within the meaning of the Treaty competition rules and that Articles 86 and 90 of the Treaty do not preclude the public authoritiesfrom conferring on a pension fund the exclusive right to managea supplementarypension scheme for the members of a profession.

Since the phrase "division of Germany" refershistorically to the establishment of the dividing line between thetwo occupied zones in 1948,the "economicdisadvantages caused by that division"can only mean the economic disadvantages caused in certain areas of Germany bythe isolationwhich the establishment of that physical frontier entailed, such as thebreaking of communication links or the loss of markets as a result of the breakingoff of commercial relations between the two parts of German territory.
