Under en senere kontrol vurderede toldinspektøren fra tolddistrikt Rotterdam imidlertid, at det var med urette, at der ikke var blevet opkrævet tillægstold, og at Kloosterboer skulle betale en sådan told beregnet på grundlag af den repræsentative pris for hvert af de pågældende partier, idet selskabet ikke havde anmodet om, at denne told blev fastsat på grundlag af cifimportprisen for de nævnte partier. Inspektøren udstedte derfor tre pålæg om efteropkrævning.
To enable the Court to determine whether it is conducive to the proper conduct of the procedure to order the production of certain documents, the party requesting production must not only identify the documents requested but also provide the Court with at least minimum information indicating the utility of those documents for the purposes of the proceedings (Case C-185/95 Ρ Baustahlgewebe ν Commission [1998], paragraph 93).
Det er vigtigt først at understrege, at forordning nr. 3290/94 blev vedtaget med henblik på at foretage de tilpasninger, som er nødvendige — bl.a. til den ved forordning nr. 2777/75 etablerede fælles markedsordning for fjerkrækød — for gennemførelsen af de aftaler, som er indgået under de multilaterale handelsforhandlinger i Uruguay-rundens regi, herunder aftalen om landbrug.
In this case, it must be held that the applicants, which do not contest having had access to the documents in the file on which the Commission based the Decision, are merely claiming that they should also have had access to the internal documents of the Commission during the administrative procedure. However, as has been stated, the Commission is not obliged to make such documents available during the administrative procedure.
Det udtales således i fjerde betragtning til forordning nr. 3290/94, at »for at der kan opretholdes et minimum af beskyttelse mod de skadelige virkninger, som [...] ovennævnte tarifikation kan medføre for markedet, tillader aftalen [om landbrug], at der anvendes tillægstold på nøje fastlagte betingelser og for de produkter alene, der er omfattet af tarifikationen« og at »der [derfor] bør [...] indføjes en tilsvarende bestemmelse i de pågældende grundforordninger«.
In the circumstances of this case, the arguments of KTS and AST that access to the internal documents of the Commission would enable them to show that the Commission was or should have been aware of the use of the calculation method for the alloy surcharge by the stainless steel producers are not based on any sound evidence, nor do they show the existence of exceptional circumstances within the meaning of the case-law cited above.
Efter at Kloosterboer's klager over de nævnte betalingspålæg var blevet afvist, anlagde Kloosterboer sag mod ministeren ved College van Beroep voor het bedrijfsleven.
It states that KTN, to which it was the successor, acquired as from 1 January 1995 the business of Thyssen Stahl in the stainless steel flat products sector and agreed, as purchaser, to accept liability for any infringements committed by that undertaking.
Kloosterboer har for denne ret principalt gjort gældende, at artikel 3 i forordning nr. 1484/95 er ugyldig, idet den strider mod artikel 5 i aftalen
However, KTN never waived the right to be the subject of a new procedure in the event of the Commission imposing a fine on it for the conduct of Thyssen Stahl.
Den bestemmelse i aftalen om landbrug, der fastsætter betingelserne for pålæggelse af tillægstold, er aftalens artikel 5, der dels tillader pålæggelse af tillægstold, hvis den pris, til hvilken de omfattede produkter kan importeres til WTO medlemmernes toldområde, falder til
Consequently, it must be held that KTS and AST have neither made out a plausible case nor demonstrated the existence of exceptional circumstances such as to justify an exception to the general rule that internal Commission documents are not available to applicants. Since they have thus failed to show that the measures applied for would be useful, the application must be rejected.
for sin overskred grænserne gennemførelsesbeføjelse.
In this case, it is clear from the file, first, that on 24 April 1997, KTN and Thyssen Stahl were each addressees of the statement of objections and that each of those undertakings replied to it separately.
under en bestemt udløsningspris, dels kræver hensyntagen til cifimportprisen for den pågældende sending ved fastsættelsen af den nævnte told.
Second, it is clear that KTN, which was succeeded by the applicant KTS, agreed by its letter of 23 July 1997 to the Commission to be held liable for conduct imputed to Thyssen Stahl for the period from 1993, even though Thyssen Stahl's business in the product sector concerned had not been transferred to it until 1 January 1995.
Det fremgår således klart af ordlyden af artikel 5, stk. 3, første afsnit, i forordning nr. 2777/75, at kun cifimportprisen for den pågældende sending kan udgøre grundlaget for fastsættelsen af en tillægstold.
In this case, the first paragraph of Article 3 of the operative part of the Decision, as forwarded to the parties on 21 January 1998, contained a bank account number for payment of the fines imposed. By its decision of 2 February 1998 the Commission replaced that number by several different account numbers.
Det skal navnlig understreges, at anvendelsen af denne regel ikke er underlagt nogen betingelse, og at der ikke er knyttet nogen undtagelse hertil.
Consequently, since the Decision, as notified to the applicants, corresponds to the one adopted by the College of Commissioners, the argument alleging irregularities in the adoption of the Decision is unfounded.
Hertil kommer, at samme forordnings artikel 5, stk. 3, andet afsnit, på en lige så klar måde bestemmer, at der kun tages hensyn til den repræsentative pris for det omhandlede produkt med henblik på kontrol af, om cifimportprisen er rigtig.
However, in so far as it constitutes an exception to the principle that a natural or legal person may be penalised only for acts imputed to it individually, such a statement must be interpreted strictly.
Den hertil svarende bestemmelse i fællesskabsretten er artikel 5 i forordning nr. 2777/75, der er blevet omskrevet ved forordning nr. 3290/94.
Ill — The pleas alleging inadequacy of the statement of reasons, manifest errors of assessment of the facts and errors in law
Dens stk. 3 bestemmer, at de importpriser, der tages i betragtning ved pålæggelse af en tillægstold, fastlægges på grundlag af cif-importpriserne for den pågældende sending og præciserer, at med henblik herpå kontrolleres cif-importpriserne »på grundlag af de repræsentative priser for det pågældende produkt på verdensmarkedet eller EF-importmarkedet«.
However, contrary to what, in essence, the Commission contends, KTN's statement of 23 July 1997 could not be interpreted as implying, in addition, a waiver of its right to be heard regarding the acts imputed to Thyssen Stahl in the statement of objections notified to Thyssen Stahl on 24 April 1997, for which KTN agreed from that time to be held responsible for the purposes of the imposition of any fine.
Artikel 5, stk. 4, i forordning nr. 2777/75 pålægger Kommissionen at fastsætte gennemførelsesbestemmelserne til denne artikel, hvilke bestemmelser navnlig skal omfatte »de [...] kriterier, som er nødvendige for at sikre, at stk. 1 anvendes i overensstemmelse med artikel 5 i [aftalen om landbrug]«.
The applicants maintain that the Decision is vitiated by errors of assessment and misuse of powers in that it is based on unproven statements concerning the origin of the method of calculating the alloy surcharge that were capable of influencing the appraisal of the infringement penalised by the Decision and the amount of the fine decided upon.
Derimod betinger artikel 3, stk. 1 og 3, i forordning nr. 1484/95 hensyntagen til cifimportprisen ved fastlæggelsen af tillægstolden af det vilkår, at importøren indgiver en formel ansøgning herom, der ledsages af visse bevisdokumenter, og kræver i alle andre tilfælde hensyntagen til den repræsentative pris, der således er bestemmende som hovedregel.
It must therefore be held in this case that the Commission did not give KTN an opportunity to submit its comments on the reality and relevance of the acts imputed to Thyssen Stahl and that, consequently, KTN was not able to exercise its rights of defence in that connection.
Denne konstatering understøttes i øvrigt af fjerde betragtning til forordning nr. 1484/95, hvori Kommissionen anfører, at »importøren har mulighed for at vælge, at tillægstolden beregnes på et andet grundlag end den repræsentative pris«.
Contrary to the applicants' assertion, the fact that the Commission may have considered that the origin of the agreement dated back to 1988, when the undertakings used an identical formula for calculating the alloy surcharge, had no legal repercussions on either the characterisation of the infringement or the calculation of the fine.
Det er netop med henblik på at vedtage gennemførelsesbestemmelserne til den ved artikel 5 i forordning nr. 2777/75 indførte ordning, at Kommissionen i overensstemmelse med artikel 5 i aftalen om landbrug inden for sektorerne for fjerkrækød og æg samt ægalbumin, vedtog forordning nr. 1484/95.
In view of the foregoing, KTN's plea must be declared well founded and therefore Article 1 of the Decision must be annulled to the extent to which it imputes to KTN the infringement of which Thyssen Stahl was accused.
Henset til det svar, der er givet på det første spørgsmål, er det ufornødent at besvare de øvrige spørgsmål, der er stillet af den forelæggende ret.
In this case, AST has not produced any evidence such as to indicate that those findings are not well founded, nor has it demonstrated that the
Det fremgår af gennemgangen af bestemmelserne i forordning nr. 1484/95 i lyset af grundforordningen, at Kommissionen ved at vedtage artikel 3, stk. 1 og 3, i denne forordning
Commission was pursuing any aim other than that of showing that the agreement covered by the Decision restricted competition.
•Artikel 3, stk 1 og 3, i Kommissionens forordning (EF) nr. 1484/95 af 28. juni 1995 om gennemførelsesbestemmelser til ordningen for tillægsimporttold og om fastsættelse af tillægsimporttold for fjerkrækød og æg samt ægalbumin og om ophævelse af forordning nr. 163/67/EØF er ugyldige, for så vidt de bestemmer, at den heri nævnte tillægstold i princippet fastsættes på grundlag af den repræsentative pris, der er omhandlet i artikel 2, stk 1, i forordning nr. 1484/95, og at denne told kun fastsættes på grundlag af cifimportprisen for den pågældende sending, hvis importøren anmoder herom.*
It must be pointed out at the outset that, contrary to their assertion, the Decision does not find against applicants for an infringement deriving from an agreement on the prices of stainless steel flat products but only, as has been stated (see above), for their participation in an agreement concerning the introduction and application, in a concerted manner, of the same reference values for alloys in the formula for calculating the alloy surcharge.
Generaladvokat D. Ruiz-Jarabo Colomer fremsatte forslag til afgørelse i retsmødet (Sjette Afdeling) den 2. maj 2001.
It follows that the Madrid meeting is not described, in the Decision, as relating to the adoption of a method for calculating alloy surcharge but as being concerned with the incorporation in that method of identical reference values for all the producers.
13. december 2001 dørsalg —fortrydelsesret — kreditaftale, der er sikret ved pant i fast
It has not been shown that the Decision, in finding that the undertakings concerned in fact voluntarily aligned the alloy surcharges following the Madrid meeting, is vitiated by errors of assessment.
Præjudiciel »Forbrugerbeskyttelse ejendom* (Sjette Afdeling) og 7. maj 1993 (herefter »låneaftalen«). Lånet var sikret ved en »Grundschuld« (pant i fast ejendom) på samme beløb.
The applicants consider that the Commission's findings concerning the way the alloy surcharge was applied in practice are irrelevant.
Ved kendelse af 29. november 1999, indgået til Domstolen den 20. december 1999, har Bundesgerichtshof i medfør af artikel 234 EF forelagt to præjudicielle spørgsmål vedrørende fortolkningen af Rådets direktiv 85/577/EØF af 20. december 1985 om forbrugerbeskyttelse i forbindelse med aftaler indgået uden for fast forretningssted (herefter »dørsalgsdirektivet«) og Rådets direktiv 87/102/EØF af 22. december 1986 om indbyrdes tilnærmelse af medlemsstaternes love og administrative bestemmelser om forbrugerkredit, som ændret ved Rådets direktiv 90/88/EØF af 22. februar 1990 (herefter »forbrugerkreditdirektivet«).
They maintain that the Decision is vitiated by a manifested error of assessment of the facts and by an error in law on this point, in so far as it criticises the undertakings for having aligned their prices for stainless steel flat products, outside their national market, on the prices charged by a single producer.
De gjorde gældende, at en af deres bekendte, der som selvstændig ejendomsmægler var tilknyttet banken, gentagne gange havde opsøgt dem på deres bopæl, uden at de havde anmodet ham herom.
Since, in addition, the Decision clearly set out the Commission's reasoning in reaching that conclusion, the argument that the statement of reasons was inadequate on that point cannot be upheld.
Spørgsmålene er blevet rejst under en tvist mellem Georg og Helga Heininger og Bayerische Hypo- und Vereinsbank AG (herefter »banken«) vedrørende fortrydelsesret med hensyn til en kreditaftale, der er sikret ved pant i fast ejendom.
It is necessary, second, to consider whether, as claimed by the applicants, the Decision is vitiated by an error of law in that it disregarded the mechanism for the alignment of prices provided for by Article 60 of the ECSC Treaty.
Til finansiering af købet af en lejlighed optog Georg og Helga Heininger et lån på 150 000 DEM hos banken ved en aftale af 28. april 1993
It is necessary first to consider whether, as the applicants claim, the Decision was vitiated by errors of assessment regarding its description of
Georg og Helga Heininger nedlagde påstand om, at banken tilpligtedes at tilbagebetale de betalte beløb, hovedstolen samt renter, samt erstatte omkostningerne i forbindelse med gennemførelsen af låneaftalen, dvs. et samlet beløb på 118 443,81 DEM. De nedlagde endvidere påstand om, at det blev fastslået, at banken ikke havde nogen rettigheder i henhold til låneaftalen.
In that connection, it must be borne in mind that, according to settled case-law, the purpose of the compulsory publication of prices under Article 60(2) of the Treaty is, first, as far as possible to prevent prohibited practices; second, to enable purchasers to learn exactly what prices will be charged and be able themselves to check whether any discrimination has taken place; and, third, to enable undertakings to have accurate
om en tidsmæssig begrænsning af fortrydelsesretten, når forbrugeren ikke har fået den krævede oplysning.
knowledge of the prices of their competitors so as to enable them to align their prices.
Bundesgerichtshof har herefter udsat sagen og forelagt Domstolen to præjudicielle spørgsmål.
With regard to the facts of this case, paragraph 44 of the Decision indicates the elements which show the existence of a consensus between the undertakings concerned.
Det skal indledningsvis understreges, at Bundesgerichtshof med hensyn til det spørgsmål, retten har forelagt for Domstolen, har lagt til grund, at den realkreditaftale, der er indgået mellem Georg og Helga Heininger på den ene side og banken på den anden side, er indgået under de i ovennævnte direktivs artikel l's omhandlede omstændigheder.
Moreover, Article 60 of the ECSC Treaty does not provide for any contact between undertakings, prior to the publication of price lists, for the purpose of exchanging information on their future prices.
I forelæggelseskendelsen har Bundesgerichtshof bemærket, at det for afgørelsen af hovedsagen først og fremmest er af betydning, om der ikke består en fortrydelsesret i henhold til HWiG's § 1, fordi denne lovs bestemmelser fortrænges af VerbrKrG, der finder anvendelse på realkreditaftaler. Svaret på dette spørgsmål afhænger af, om dørsalgsdirektivet også finder anvendelse på realkreditaftaler, og om den i dette direktivs artikel 5 fastsatte fortrydelsesret har forrang for forbrugerkreditdirektivet.
Finally, the Decision observes that the consensus was confirmed in the fax from Ugine of 20 December 1993 addressed to all the producers present at the Madrid meeting, and to Outokumpu, which reflects the conclusions of that meeting, giving details of the calculation of the alloy surcharge, including the trigger values, the ECU/USD and USD/ECU rates of exchange for alloying materials (nickel, chrome, molybdenum), the reference months and the standard alloy contents.
Det første spørgsmål skal derfor besvares på dette grundlag. Med spørgsmålet ønsker Bundesgerichtshof nærmere bestemt oplyst, om dørsalgsdirektivet skal fortolkes således, at det finder anvendelse på en realkreditaftale som den, der er omtvistet i hovedsagen, således at en forbruger, der har indgået en sådan aftale under en af de i direktivets artikel 1 omhandlede omstændigheder, har den fortrydelsesret, der er indført ved direktivets artikel 5.
In that connection, the Decision also mentions that the characterisation of the consensus as an agreement is confirmed by the contents of the circulars referred to in paragraph 41 of the Decision by which the various producers announced to their customers the reintroduction of the alloy surcharge.
Bundesgerichtshof har for det første bemærket, at Georg og Helga Heininger ikke har nogen fortrydelsesret i medfør af VerbrKrG's § 7, idet det fremgår af denne lovs § 3, stk. 2, nr. 2, at lovens § 7 ikke finder anvendelse på realkreditaftaler.
In this case, it may indeed be undisputed that, pursuant to Article 60(2)(a) of the ECSC Treaty, the stainless steel producers released themselves from the obligation to publish their prices and conditions of sale by sending details of them regularly to the Commission and that, on that basis, those undertakings each notified the Commission of the amounts of the alloy surcharges which they were going to apply as from 1 February 1994 (paragraph 37 of the Decision).
Bundesgerichtshof har dernæst bemærket, at en fortrydelsesret i medfør af HWiG's § 1 ikke er mulig, eftersom denne lovs § 5, stk. 2, bestemmer, at når en retshandel som omhandlet i HWiG's § 1, stk. 1, er omfattet af VerbrKrG, hvilket er tilfældet i hovedsagen, er det kun bestemmelserne i sidstnævnte lov, der finder anvendelse.
As regards, next, characterisation of the consensus as a concerted practice, the Decision emphasises, in paragraph 45, that in any event, 'if the definition of the consensus as an agreement is disputed, the reintroduction by the stainless steel producers of the alloy surcharge by deliberately identical methods as to value and date is at the very least and without any doubt a concerted practice'.
I denne forbindelse bemærkes først, at dørsalgsdirektivet i henhold til sin artikel 1 i princippet gælder for alle aftaler, der er indgået under de i den pågældende artikel nævnte omstændigheder, og navnlig i forbindelse med den erhvervsdrivendes besøg hos forbrugeren.
However, the applicants cannot properly invoke the alignment mechanism provided for by the abovementioned provisions since the alignment of the reference values to be used in calculating the alloy surcharge referred to in the documents cited by the Commission in paragraphs 38, 40 and 41 of the Decision resulted not from the publication of price lists but from prior concertation between producers, at the Madrid meeting, whereby it was agreed to adopt identical reference values with a view to facilitating upward harmonisation of the alloy surcharges.
Endvidere bemærkes, at dørsalgsdirektivets artikel 3 indeholder en udtømmende opregning af visse former for aftaler, som direktivet ikke gælder for.
It follows that the Commission did not disregard the mechanism for price alignment provided for in Article 60 of the ECSC Treaty and that, therefore, the Decision is not vitiated by any error of law in that respect.
Bundesgerichtshof er af den opfattelse, at de fællesskabsretlige bestemmelser om forbrugerbeskyttelse ikke tilsiger en anden fortolkning af HWiG's § 5, stk. 2, men har anmodet Domstolen om at tage stilling til dette spørgsmål, idet der kan herske en vis tvivl.
Consequently, it is clear from those paragraphs of the Decision that it adequately explained the principal elements of fact and of law which prompted the Commission to take the view that the consensus in question could be defined as an agreement or, in the alternative as a concerted practice within the meaning of Article 65(1) of the ECSC Treaty.
I denne forbindelse bemærkes for det første, at i henhold til fast retspraksis skal undtagelser fra de fællesskabsretlige bestemmelser om forbrugerbeskyttelse fortolkes indskrænkende (jf.
KTS maintains, in its reply, that the Commission infringed Article 15 of the ECSC Treaty, which requires it to give reasons for its decisions, since it merged the charges concerning a concerted practice and an agreement.
Såfremt det i medfør af dørsalgsdirektivet måtte blive fastslået, at Georg og Helga Heininger har fortrydelsesret, afhænger afgørelsen af hovedsagen ifølge Bundesgerichtshof af, om denne fortrydelsesret ophører et år efter, at den viljeserklæring fra forbrugeren, der har ført til indgåelsen af realkreditaftalen, blev afgivet, jf. en analog anvendelse af VerbrKrG's § 7, stk. 2, tredje punktum, eller om det er HWiG's bestemmelser, der finder anvendelse, idet denne lov i overensstemmelse med dørsalgsdirektivets artikel 5, stk. 1, ikke indeholder bestemmelser
The applicants submit that the Commission has not sufficiently proved the effects of the alloy surcharge formula on the price of stainless steel flat products and, therefore, the alleged restriction of competition. They consider that the reasons given on that point are incorrect and, in any event, inadequate.
bl.a. dom af 10.5.2001, sag C-203/99, Veedfald, præmis 15).
The Commission is not obliged, in order to establish an infringement of Article 65(1) of the ESCS Treaty, to demonstrate that there was an adverse effect on competition, provided that it has established the existence of an agreement or concerted practice intended to restrict competition.
forbrugeren mod en risiko, der følger af omstændigheder, der er særlige for indgåelsen af en aftale uden for den erhvervsdrivendes faste forretningssted, og at beskyttelsen af forbrugeren i dette direktiv er gennemført på den måde, at der er indført en fortrydelsesret.
thus calculated as from 1 February 1994. It also found that, as from the latter date, those undertakings, which included KTS and AST, had in fact applied to their sales in Europe, with the exception of Spain and Portugal, an alloy surcharge calculated in accordance with the method based on the reference values agreed at the Madrid meeting.
For det andet bemærkes, at såfremt en realkreditaftale som den, der er omtvistet i hovedsagen, er knyttet til en rettighed over en fast ejendom, for så vidt som det lån, der ydes, skal være sikret ved pant i fast ejendom, er denne omstændighed ikke tilstrækkelig til, at aftalen kan antages at vedrøre en rettighed over fast ejendom, som omhandlet i dørsalgsdirektivets artikel 3, stk. 2, litra a).
In this case, the applicants' various arguments, which merely assert that there has been no adverse effect on competition, must be rejected, in so far as they are based on a misconceived view of the evidential requirements laid down by Article 65(1) of the ECSC Treaty. The applicants do not contest the truth of the findings in paragraphs 47 and 48 of the Decision to the effect that the purpose of the agreement at issue was to restrict competition.
