Ligebehandlingsprincippet er derfor ikke til hinder for nationale regler om den første tildeling af mælkekvoter, som er vedtaget af en medlemsstat, der er tiltrådt De Europæiske Fællesskaber den 1. januar 1995, og som indebærer, at mælkekvoterne for producenter, der ikke ændrede deres produktion i perioden fra den 1. januar 1991 til den 31. december 1994, fastsættes på grundlag af gennemsnittet af de foretagne leverancer i årene 1991,1992 og 1993.
Consequently, national legislation governing the initial allocation of milk quotas and adopted by a Member State which acceded to the European Communities on 1 January 1995, whereby milk quotas for producers who did not alter their production between 1 January 1991 and 31 December 1994 are determined on the basis of the average quantities delivered between 1991 and 1993 is compatible with the principle of equal treatment.
Behandlingen af nye producenter og udvidende producenter i forhold til normale producenter
The treatment of new producers and producers who have increased their production compared with normal producers
De nedsættelser, der udelukkende rammer de nye producenter og de udvidende producenter, synes at være objektivt begrundet i betragtning af, at disse producenter bærer et særligt ansvar for risikoen for en overskridelse af den samlede garantimængde, som konstateret af de svenske myndigheder i forbindelse med den foreløbige tildeling af mælkekvoter.
The reductions applied unilaterally to new producers and producers who have increased their production appear to be objectively justified, having regard to the specific contribution made by such producers to exceeding the guaranteed total quantity, as was found by the Swedish authorities when they made the provisional allocation of the quotas.
Den samlede garantimængde, der blev tildelt Kongeriget Sverige ved dets tiltrædelse, og som svarer til den mængde mælk, der blev produceret i landet i 1992, blev nemlig hovedsagelig fastsat på grundlag af de mængder, de normale producenter havde produceret.
The guaranteed total quantity allocated to the Kingdom of Sweden on its accession, which represents the amount of milk produced in that State in 1992, was established essentially on the basis of the quantities produced by normal producers.
Risikoen for en overskridelse af denne samlede mængde skyldes således først og fremmest produktionsstigningen i de seneste år, som især må tilskrives de udvidende producenter og de nye producenter.
The risk of exceeding the total quantity is therefore primarily the result of the increase in production in recent years, which is mainly attributable to producers who have increased their production and to new producers.
Den svenske regering bestrider ikke, at nye producenter og udvidende producenter stilles ringere end normale producenter, når deres mælkekvote eller den del heraf, der udgør stigningen i produktionen, efter deres eget valg fastsættes på grundlag af de gennemsnitligt leverede mængder i årene 1991, 1992 og 1993 i henhold til § 10 i bekendtgørelse nr. 1714.
The Swedish Government is aware that new producers and producers who have increased their production are treated less favourably than normal producers when they choose to have their milk quota or the portion of it representing the increase in production determined on the basis of the average quantities delivered between 1991 and 1993 in accordance with Article 10 of Swedish Regulation No 1714.
De har således — i modsætning til normale producenter — ikke mulighed for at opnå en mælkekvote af en størrelse, der svarer til hele den mængde mælk, de er i stand til at producere med det antal køer, de er i besiddelse af.
The result is that it is impossible for them, unlike normal producers, to obtain under their milk quota a volume equivalent to the total quantity of milk they are able to produce with the number of cows they have.
Denne forskellige behandling er imidlertid begrundet i landbrugspolitiske målsætninger, som Kongeriget Sverige i henhold til de oplysninger, den svenske regering har givet under retsforhandlingerne, forfølger inden for
Of the producers who have a reduction applied to their milk quotas, new producers are treated more favourably than producers who have increased their production, the rate of reduction applied being lower where production began after 1 January 1991 and before 1 January 1995.
Den svenske regering er sig også bevidst, at den anden mulige beregningsmetode, der er baseret på en fast årlig mængde på 7 398 kg mælk for hver koplads og skal tage hensyn til de to pågældende producentkategoriers særlige situation, heller ikke kan afhjælpe den forskellige behandling, idet de nye producenters mælkekvoter og de udvidende producenters tillægsmælkekvoter i henhold til denne beregningsmetode fastsættes efter anvendelse af en nedsættelsessats på henholdsvis 30% og 55%.
The Swedish Government also recognises that the other method of calculation proposed, based on a flat rate 7 398 kg of milk per cow and per year and which seeks to address the special situation of those two categories of producers, is likewise incapable of remedying the unequal treatment inasmuch as by that method the milk quotas for new producers and the additional milk quotas for producers who have increased their production are determined after making a

the scope of the national provisions and the manner in which they must be applied.
Behandlingen af økologiske producenter princippet om beskyttelse af den berettigede forventning- at der i henhold til nationale regler om den første tildeling af mælkekvoter ikke kan tages hensyn til visse typer ulykker, således at en producent, der er blevet ramt af en sådan ulykke, som har reduceret hans mælkeproduktion betydeligt i referenceperioden, opnår en lavere mælkekvote end den, der ville være blevet tildelt ham, hvis ulykken ikke var indtruffet.
The Court has held that national rules governing the initial allocation of milk quotas which do not permit certain kinds of accident to be taken into account, so that a producer who has suffered such an accident which has appreciably reduced his milk production during the reference period is given a lower milk quota than that to which he would have been entitled had the accident not occurred, are not contrary to the principle of non-discrimination — or, moreover, the principle of the protection of legitimate expectations.
Det fremgår af Domstolens praksis, at det er berettiget at afvise at give en mælkekvote til en producent, der ansøger herom, ikke for varigt at genoptage markedsføringen af mælk, men for at skaffe sig en rent økonomisk fordel af tildelingen ved at udnytte den handelsværdi, som mælkekvoten i mellemtiden har opnået.
The decisions of the Court of Justice show that milk quotas may be refused for producers seeking them not in order to resume marketing milk on a permanent basis but in order to obtain a purely financial advantage therefrom, relying on the market value acquired by the milk quota in the meantime.
En medlemsstat kan med henblik på at opfylde landbrugspolitiske målsætninger være berettiget til at fritage bestemte producenter for anvendelsen af nedsættelsessatser ud fra økologiske hensyn, navnlig hensynet til bestemte økologiske produktionsmetoder, selv når disse producenter er i en situation, der svarer til de nye producenters og de udvidende producenters.
In pursuing aims of agricultural policy, Member States may be justified in exempting certain producers from reductions made for reasons pertaining to ecology, in particular certain ecological methods of production, even if their situation is analogous to those of new producers or producers who have increased their production.
Det må imidlertid konstateres, at hverken forelæggelseskendelsens præmisser eller de indlæg, der er indgivet i henhold til artikel 20 i EF-statutten for Domstolen, er tilstrækkeligt udførlige til, at Domstolen kan udtale sig nærmere på dette punkt.

Den påståede forskelsbehandling af svenske producenter i forhold til producenter i andre medlemsstater
The alleged discrimination suffered by Swedish producers compared with producers in other Member States
Sagsøgerne i hovedsagene har gjort gældende, at de miljøkrav, som enhver svensk producent skal opfylde i henhold til § 5 i bekendtgørelse nr. 1714, udgør en forskelsbehandling af disse producenter i forhold til producenter i andre medlemsstater.
The appellants in the main action claim that the requirements relating to the protection of the environment which all Swedish producers must comply with under Article 5 of Swedish Regulation No 1714 constitute discrimination against them compared with producers of other Member States.
Der er imidlertid intet i sagsakterne, der giver grundlag for at betvivle, at fastsættelsen af mælkekvoterne for nye producenter og udvidende producenter til et niveau, der ligger under deres produktionskapacitet, er en passende og nødvendig foranstaltning med henblik på at undgå en overskridelse af den samlede garantimængde.
In the first place, there is nothing in the file indicating that fixing milk quotas for new producers and producers who have increased their production at a level lower than their production capacity is not appropriate and necessary in order to avoid exceeding the guaranteed total quantity.
Det fremgår af den svenske regerings indlæg, at der netop blev taget begrænset hensyn til disse producenters produktionskapacitet på grund af det forventede overskud i forhold til den samlede mængde.
According to the observations of the Swedish Government, the restriction placed on the account to be taken of their production capacity was calculated precisely because of the risk that the total quantity would be exceeded.
Det skal imidlertid bemærkes, at en eventuel ulige behandling af producenter i en medlemsstat og producenter i andre medlemsstater, der — som i det foreliggende tilfælde — simpelthen beror på forskelle mellem de respektive medlemsstaters lovgivninger, ikke indebærer forskelsbehandling som omhandlet i traktatens artikel 40, stk. 3, såfremt den pågældende nationale lovgivning finder anvendelse på alle berørte producenter på grundlag af objektive kriterier.
However, any unequal treatment of producers in a Member State compared with those in other Member States which are the result, as in this case, simply of divergencies between the legislations in those States does not entail discrimination of the kind prohibited by Article 40(3) of the Treaty if the national legislation at issue applies to all producers concerned on the basis of objective criteria.
Kravet om en uafbrudt produktion
The requirement that production be continuous
Endvidere har den svenske regering under retsmødet fremlagt tal, der godtgør, at kun 1% af den samlede garantimængde for produktionsåret 1995/1996 ikke blev fordelt, og at dette tal senere faldt til 0,2% for produktionsåret 1997/1998.
In the second place, the Swedish Government has shown, by figures produced at the hearing, that for the 1995/19% milk year only 1% of the guaranteed total quantity was not distributed, a figure which fell to 0.2% for the 1997/1998 milk year.
Når henses til, at fællesskabsbestemmelserne giver mulighed for at oprette en national reserve, og i betragtning af det meget begrænsede omfang af de mængder, de svenske myndigheder tilbageholdt, kan en medlemsstat ikke antages at have overskredet grænserne for sit skøn, når de mængder, den ikke har fordelt, er så beskedne.
In view of the fact that Community legislation permits a national reserve to be constituted, and in the light of the very small quantity withheld by the Swedish authorities, a Member State cannot be exceeding its discretionary powers where the quantities not allocated are so small.
For så vidt angår afslaget på at tildele Natanael Torarp en mælkekvote med den begrundelse, at han havde afbrudt sine leverancer, skal det indledningsvis bemærkes, at det alene tilkommer den nationale ret at vurdere rækkevidden af de nationale bestemmelser, og hvorledes de skal anvendes.
As regards the refusal to grant Mr Torarp a milk quota on the ground that he had interrupted deliveries, it should be remembered at the outset that it is for the national court alone to assess

The appellants in the main action maintain that the Swedish legislation infringes the principle of the protection of legitimate expectations because the national scheme for allocating milk quotas does not faithfully reflect the Community scheme resulting from Regulation No 856/84 and, more particularly, because the allocation of a milk quota is subject to requirements relating to the protection of the environment and the

(Failure by a Member State to fulfil its obligations (Sixth Chamber) vulnerable zones.
Ved stævning indleveret til Domstolens Justitskontor den 17. juli 1998 har Kommissionen for De Europæiske Fællesskaber anlagt sag med påstand om, at det fastslås, at Kongeriget Spanien har tilsidesat sine forpligtelser efter EF-traktaten, da det ikke har udarbejdet de handlingsprogrammer, som er foreskrevet i artikel 5 i Rådets direktiv 91/676/EØF af 12. december 1991.
The Court has consistently held that Member States cannot rely on provisions, practices or circumstances in their own legal orders to justify failure to comply with the obligations and timelimits laid down by a directive.
Det er ubestridt, at Kongeriget Spanien ikke har udarbejdet de i direktivets artikel 5 omhandlede handlingsprogrammer inden for den fastsatte frist.
By application lodged at the Court Registry on 17 July 1998 the Commission of the European Communities brought an action for a declaration that by failing to establish action programmes pursuant to Article 5 of Council Directive 91/676/EEC of 12 December 1991, the Kingdom of Spain has failed to fulfil its obligations under the EC Treaty.
Ifølge artikel 1 har direktivet til formål at nedbringe vandforurening forårsaget eller fremkaldt af nitrater, der stammer fra landbruget, og at forebygge yderligere forurening af denne art.
Article 1 of the directive states that its aim is to reduce water pollution caused or induced by nitrates from agricultural sources and prevent further such pollution.
Den spanske regering har henvist til, at forpligtelsen til at udpege sårbare zoner påhviler de selvstyrende regioner.
Article 3(2) of the directive requires the designation of vulnerable zones within two years of notification of the directive.
Handlingsprogrammerne i henhold til direktivets artikel 5 er stadig under udarbejdelse i de forskellige selvstyrende regioner, der har udpeget de sårbare zoner.
Article 5(1) provides that the Member States are to establish action programmes in respect of designated vulnerable zones within two years of the initial designation referred to in Article 3(2).
Det bemærkes, at de sårbare zoner ifølge direktivets artikel 3, stk. 2, skulle udpeges inden to år efter direktivets meddelelse.
Since the directive was notified on 19 December 1991, the time-limit for establishing the action programmes envisaged in Article 5 expired on 19 December 1995.
Det bemærkes, at det fremgår af Domstolens faste praksis, at en medlemsstat ikke kan påberåbe sig bestemmelser, fremgangsmåder eller forhold i sin nationale retsorden til støtte for, at forpligtelser og frister, der følger af et direktiv, ikke overholdes.
It is common ground that the Kingdom of Spain did not establish action programmes in accordance with Article 5 of the directive within the prescribed period.
