Kommissionen meddelte beslutningen alene til SWSMA og denne blev end ikke tilstilletsammenslutningens advokater, der først blev bekendt med den den 8. september 1998, og det er derfor usandsynligt, at en af sagsøgerne den 10. august 1998 modtog en kopi af beslutningen fra en uidentificeret tredjemand.
Nevertheless, classifying sugar by category is essential for the management of the market in order to attain the objectives of the common organisation of the market in sugar.
Besvarelsen af Rettens spørgsmål har desuden uddybet denne utroværdighed....
That being so, the Commission was entitled to lay down in Article 4 of Regulation No 2630/81 that an export licence for C sugar may be issued only where proof is supplied that A and Β sugar has already been produced.
Sag T-162/98
The fifth question
Det er ubestridt, at beslutningen forskriftsmæssigt blev forkyndt for sagsøgeren, og at denne først anlagde sag efter søgsmålsfristens udløb.
It should be noted that the basic regulation set up a framework for managing the situation where sugar is produced outside the A and Β quotas.
Mostyn Jones har kun uddybet disse oplysninger med en oplysning om, at han mener at have modtaget dokumentet fra en af de personer, der repræsenteres af Sarah Llewellyn Jones, der er advokat for SWSMA.
The C sugar category covers exclusively sugar surpluses which must not disturb the market. C sugar can be carried forward to the following marketing year.
Dette stemmer imidlertid ikke overens med Bernhard John Llewellyn's udtalelser, hvoraf det fremgår, at han intet yderligere foretog sig efter modtagelsen af den skrivelse, der indeholdt beslutningen, og lader sig desuden ikke forene med oplysningen om, at SWSMA's advokater først blev bekendt med beslutningen den 8. september 1998.
C sugar not carried forward may not, according to the prohibition laid down by the Community legislature in the first subparagraph of Article 26(1) of the basic regulation, be disposed of on the internal market and, as a corollary, must be exported.
Sagsøgeren har påberåbt sig en undskyldelig fejltagelse, der imidlertid kun kan begrunde en forlængelse af en ufravigelig søgsmålsfrist, såfremt der er tale om usædvanlige omstændigheder, og navnlig tilfælde, hvor den pågældende institution har udvist en adfærd, der enten i sig selv eller i afgørende omfang må antages at kunne fremkalde en vildfarelse hos en borger ...
By its fifth question, which it is appropriate to consider in second place, the national court seeks to ascertain whether, in the circumstances of the case in the main proceedings, the competent national authority is precluded from imposing the payment of a charge on an undertaking pursuant to Article 3(1) of Regulation No 2670/81, when it has not notified the undertaking of that requirement within the period prescribed by Article 3(2) of that regulation.
Af det anførte følger, at sagsøgerne ikke tilstrækkelig udførligt og overbevisende har kunnet angive den begyndelsesdato for søgsmålsfristen, der ville have gjort det muligt at anse deres søgsmål for rettidigt anlagt.
For the purpose of answering the fifth question certain features of the C sugar regime should be borne in mind.
Selv om sagsøgerens advokater som anført af sagsøgeren ikke fra Kommissionen modtog en kopi af beslutningen, burde risikoen herfor eller for en bortkomst af forsendelser sendt som almindelig post have foranlediget sagsøgeren til straks at give dem de instrukser, hvormed sagsøgerens interesser bedst kunne varetages.
It is clear from the second indent of the first subparagraph of Article 27(2) of the basic regulation that undertakings which take the decision to carry forward undertake to store the quantity carried forward.
Sagsøgeren har derfor ved alene at henholde sig til sine advokaters initiativer ikke udvist den adfærd, der kan forventes af en normalt påpasselig borger.
As the second recital in the preamble to that regulation makes clear, the date of 1 February for the beginning of the obligatory storage period for Β or C sugar carried forward had to be abandoned so that producers who, on account of the region in which they are established, begin their production earlier can make use of the opportunity to carry sugar forward 'as soon as their production exceeds their A quota'.
Appellanterne har nedlagt følgende påstande:
As the Advocate General has observed in points 53 and 54 of his Opinion, that implies a sequential interpretation of Article 24 of the basic regulation.
Den appellerede kendelse ophæves, for så vidt den angår sag T148/98.
In the first place, C sugar the marketing of which has not been carried forward may not be disposed of on the internal market and must, in consequence, be exported before 1 January following the end of the marketing year in question.
På baggrund heraf kan angivelsen 'cc: T. Llewellyn Jones' på beslutningen ikke udgøre en usædvanlig omstændighed, der kan bevirke, at den vildfarelse, som sagsøgeren befandt sig i, bliver undskyldelig.
In the second place, in accordance with Article 13 of the basic regulation, all exports of sugar out of the Community are conditional upon the presentation of an export licence which, according to Article 4 of Regulation No 2630/81, may be issued only after the manufacturer in question has provided the competent national authority with proof that the quantity for which
Det fastslås, at annullationssøgsmålet kan antages til realitetsbehandling, og Retten tager stilling til realiteten.
It must, furthermore, be borne in mind that the common organisation of the market in sugar is based on a self-financing system.
Subsidiært hjemvises spørgsmålet om sagens antagelse til realitetsbehandling til Retten, der sættes af andre dommere, og
It follows that any attribution of sugar as C sugar before the actual production of A and Β sugar is complete entails a twofold risk.
appellanterne skal først have lejlighed til at gøre sig bekendt med og udtale sig om samtlige de af SWSMA fremlagte beviser og afgivne indlæg.
the licence is requested, or an equivalent quantity, has actually been produced in excess of that manufacturer's A and Β quotas.
Kommissionen tilpligtes at betale appelsagens omkostninger og omkostningerne i første instans.
respect of which an export licence is applied for has actually been produced in excess of the A and Β quotas.
Realiteten den appellerede kendelses præmis 46 bevisværdien af Mostyn Jones' erklæringer, ifølge hvilke han skulle have modtaget kopi af dokumentet fra en af de personer, som Sarah Llewellyn Jones repræsenterede, idet Retten fandt, at denne antagelse dels var i strid med Bernard John Llewellyn's erklæringer, der bekræftede, at han ikke havde foretaget sig noget ved modtagelsen af den omtvistede beslutning, dels med den omstændighed, at beslutningen først kom til SWSMA's solicitors' kendskab den 8. september 1998.
Exceeding the time-limit cannot be justified where the national authority, as the national court has found in the circumstances of this case, possessed the information which would enable it to establish whether or not the undertaking had in fact produced a quantity of sugar equivalent to the sum of its A and Β quotas.
Det er ubestridt, at appellanterne ikke inden for rammerne af retsforhandlingerne for Retten fik meddelelse om Bernard John Llewellyn's erklæringer eller SWSMA's holdning, hvorefter sammenslutningens solicitors først fik kendskab til den omtvistede beslutning den 8. september 1998.
In the third place, if no proof is supplied of a quantity of C sugar's having been exported out of the Community, that quantity is deemed to have been disposed of on the internal market.
Derfor skal det undersøges, om Retten, som appellanterne har gjort gældende, har baseret sin beslutning på faktiske omstændigheder eller dokumenter, som appellanterne ikke havde kunnet skaffe sig kendskab til.
In that case, Article 3(2) of Regulation No 2670/81 provides that the Member State concerned is to notify the manufacturers who are required to pay the charge of the total amount to be paid before 1 May following 1 January following the end of the marketing year in question.
Llewellyn's erklæringer og forholdene vedrørende SWSMA's holdning findes således i akterne i sag T­162/98.
The time-limit set by Article 3(2) of Regulation No 2670/81 is mandatory and allows of no exception.
Disse blev imidlertid ikke meddelt appellanterne i sag T­148/98, hvorfor de så meget desto mere ikke kunne være blevet tilbagevist af sidstnævnte under den skriftlige eller mundtlige forhandling, eftersom de to sager først blev forenet i forbindelse med og med henblik på den appellerede kendelse, der under anvendelse af artikel lili Rettens procesreglement blev afsagt uden mundtlig forhandling.
By its sixth question the national court is in substance asking whether the competent national authority may, without infringing Articles 3 and 4 of Regulation No 3665/87 or the general principles of Community law, refuse to accept retrospectively an export declaration presented for the purpose of obtaining export refunds and of extending the period allowed for supplying proof of export where, because the undertaking has applied for and obtained from that authority a C sugar export licence for sugar which it was impossible to regard as C sugar, the undertaking has neither applied for nor obtained the export refunds to which it would have been entitled if the sugar had been exported as A or Β sugar.
Appellanterne har i denne forbindelse henvist til Bernard John Llewellyn's erklæringer, der er nævnt i den appellerede kendelses præmis 46, ifølge hvilke han ikke foretog sig noget ved modtagelsen af den omtvistede beslutning.
None the less, there may be some justification for exceeding the time-limit where an irregularity has occurred.
De har også henvist til den holdning, SWSMA gav udtryk for i den appellerede kendelses præmis 44 og 46, ifølge hvilken sidstnævntes bestyrelse først fik kendskab til denne beslutning den 8. september 1998.
The time-limit fixed by Article 3(2) of the regulation may therefore be exceeded where the competent national authority does not know the exact details of an undertaking's sugar production and where that lack of knowledge may reasonably be attributed to the undertaking, because it has not acted in good faith and has not complied with all the relevant provisions.
Sagen er moden til, at der træffes afgørelse, for så vidt angår den af Kommissionen fremsatte formalitetsindsigelse.
According to the ninth recital in the preamble to the basic regulation, the competent authorities must be put in a position to monitor movements in trade with third countries continuously in order to enable them to assess trends thereof and, where appropriate, to apply such measures provided for in that regulation as may prove necessary.
Parterne har bl.a. i forbindelse med retsforhandlingerne i sag Τ­Ι 48/98 og i forbindelse med nærværende retsforhandling kunnet tage stilling til de forhold.
To that end, provision is made for the issue of licences.
Kommissionen fremførte i de to sager til støtte for den fremsatte formalitetsindsigelse.
It follows that, in order to ensure such monitoring, an export declaration cannot be accepted after export has taken place.
I nærværende sag finder Domstolen, at der straks skal ske en fornyet undersøgelse af formaliteten i den af appellanterne for Retten anlagte sag.
When deciding whether there may be justification for exceeding the time-limit fixed by Article 3(2) of Regulation No 2670/81, the national court must therefore take into consideration the fact that the competent national authorities are required to ascertain whether the quantity in
Retten bemærkede således i den appellerede kendelses præmis 44, at den omtvistede beslutning end ikke var blevet meddelt til SWSMA's solicitors, der først fik kendskab hertil den 8. september 1998, da den fastslog, at påstanden om, at en af appellanterne den 10. august 1998 havde modtaget en kopi af den nævnte beslutning fra en ikke angiven tredjemand, var usandsynlig. Retten forkastede i
As regards the concept of force majeure used in Article 4(4) of Regulation No 3665/87, it must be emphasised that it is to be understood to refer to unusual circumstances outside the control of the exporter (see, to that effect, Case 11/70
Kommissionen, der på sin side henholder sig til, at sagen er anlagt for sent, har ikke ført bevis for, at appellanterne fik kendskab til den omtvistede beslutning på en tidligere dato end den 10. august 1998.
An exporter's mistake as to the classification of export refunds on agricultural products are laid sugar does not amount to such circumstances.
Hvad herefter angår appellanternes stilling som virksomhed i traktatens artikel 80's forstand er det ubestridt, at appellanterne havde denne stilling på tidspunktet for de handlinger, der påtaltes i den klage, der blev afvist ved den omtvistede beslutning.
down in Regulation No 3665/87. In the light of the answer given to the first question, there are no grounds for considering that a situation such as that described by the national court could justify leaving those conditions out of account.
Det skal derfor fastslås, at søgsmålsfristen for appellanterne begyndte at løbe den 10. august 1998, og at sagen under disse omstændigheder og under hensyntagen til afstandsfristen på ti dage, som de sidstnævnte, således som Retten anførte i den appellerede kendelses præmis 40, havde, ikke blev anlagt for sent.
The national court's reference to the general principles of Community law must be understood to mean that that court is seeking to ascertain whether, in light of those principles, the circumstances of the case in the main proceedings require the competent national authorities to pay export refunds.
Endelig for så vidt angår spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt sagen blev anlagt inden for den fastsatte frist, bemærkes, at den omtvistede beslutning blev behørigt meddelt SWSMA den 5. august 1998.
It must therefore be stated that, in a situation such as that described by the national court, refusal to pay export refunds does not infringe any general principle of Community law.
Den af Kommissionen fremsatte formalitetsindsigelse må derfor forkastes, hvorfor appellen skal imødekommes, for så vidt den appellerede kendelse afviste søgsmålet i sag T148/98.
Article 24(l)(c) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector, as amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No 305/91 of 4 February 1991, requires an undertaking to have in fact produced a volume of sugar equal to the sum of its A and Β quotas before it may attribute sugar as C sugar.
Den appellerede kendelse er dog endelig i relation til søgsmålet i sag T-162/98. Under disse omstændigheder bør den appellerede kendelse også ophæves, for så vidt som den forenede de to sager T-148/98 og T-162/98.
Exceeding the time-limit may be permissible where the competent national authority, without negligence on its part, did not know the detaUs of the undertaking's sugar production and where that lack of knowledge may reasonably be attributed to the undertaking, because it has not acted in good faith and has not complied with all the relevant provisions.
For det andet afviste Kommissionen at give appellanterne meddelelse om den omtvistede beslutning og offentliggjorde den ikke. I et sådant tilfælde, og når det ikke er muligt med sikkerhed at fastlægge datoen for, hvornår appellanterne fik fuldt kendskab til indholdet af og begrundelsen for den retsakt, de anfægter, må det fastslås, at søgsmålsfristen begyndte at løbe senest den dag, hvor det kan godtgøres, at appellanterne allerede havde et sådant kendskab (jf· i denne retning kendelse af 5.3.1993, sag C-102/92, Fernere Acciaierie Sarde mod Kommissionen).
The competent national authority may, without infringing Articles 3 and 4 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87 of 27 November 1987 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products or the general principles of Community law, refuse to accept retrospectively an export declaration presented for the purpose of obtaining export refunds and of extending the period allowed for supplying proof of export where, because the undertaking has applied for and obtained from that authority a C sugar export licence for sugar which it was impossible to regard as C sugar, the undertaking has neither applied for nor obtained the export refunds to which it would have been entitled if the sugar had been exported as A or Β sugar.'
Derfor bør sag T-148/98 hjemvises til Retten og afgørelsen om sagens omkostninger bør udsættes.

Denne publikation udarbejdes af Domstolens Presse- og Informationsafdeling (L-2925 Luxembourg) med henblik på en hurtig orientering om arbejdet ved Domstolen og Retten i Første Instans.
As a result, since it was on the basis of the evidence mentioned in paragraph 29 of this judgment that the Court of First Instance dismissed the action brought by the applicants in Case T-148/98 as inadmissible, it committed a breach of procedure, which adversely affected the interests of the appellants in the sense contemplated in Article 51 of the ECSC Statute of the Court of Justice.
